language
Very mild bad language ('hell', 'damn') is used.
sex
References are made to the age at which animals reach sexual maturity.
rude humour
Very mild rude humour includes brief comedy concerning animal dung, when a woman explains how it can be used as fuel.
drugs
There is a passing reference to non-specific drugs.
theme
There are upsetting scenes, such as when an activist describes outdated and cruel animal testing procedures, however there is no visual detail of these tests taking place. References are made to animals that have been mistreated, either as the victims of violence or abuse from their owners including by the practice of back to back breeding. In one instance, the injuries of a guinea pig whose skin has become dry, cracked and slightly bloody are seen with close up detail, however only briefly. A poster is seen in which a woman appears to be holding a dead animal at a protest.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
