INT. DINNER PARTY (Guests talking)
GUEST1: "... Exactly! The way they are _crushed_ inside those lorrys..."
GUEST2: "...vets hit them with planks - _vets_ -"
GUEST3: "...and hormones make them so huge they're in agony!"
CM: "Listen _boo-hoo_ about calves, they do that with crabs, I don't see you weeping about crabs."
GUEST2: "Well I think every animal has as much right to decent treatment as we do."
CM: "You're _wrong_ - and you're a _grotesquely ugly freak!_"
(Stunned silence)
CM: "Thanks."

TITLE: (Christopher Morris)
CM: "Animal rights. It's an extremely controversial subject, and it's not just the odd dinner party punch-up over squealing
meat."
(Slaps a side of meat, strung up abbatoir style)
CM: "It's the Spaniards chucking horses out of church towers, the Chinese sucking the brains out of live monkeys, and now
this - a shocking example taken from a recent Libyan news."

LIBYAN NEWS REPORT (Libyan news footage of barbaric festivities)
TITLE: (WORLD FACTS AT NIGHT, Blessed Action Channel)
VOICEOVER: Chris Morris
CM: "The footage shows a ritual from the feast of "Aid A Labd Dah", an outdoor celebration, in which the men of Tripoli
have a great time - but the same can not be said for their cattle. At the climax of the feast, a cow is rounded up, and driven
into a metal tube - a tube which is charged with explosives."
(The cow is seemingly fired from the makeshift cannon)
CM: "The cow is fired through the air, and lands in a crunched-up bone-heap. Running men then clobber any remaining life
out of it, with their fists and feet and sticks. The body is dragged about, and then left for the dogs and jackals. And possibly
scorpions if they eat meat I don't know."

VOICEOVER, OVER LIBRARY PICTURES: Chris Morris
CM: "Over the centuries, man's relationship with animals has been complex. In ancient Egypt, felines were worshipped because
the Egyptians thought they were funny. Many of today's familiar relics are cat monuments. These vast cat-heads were built
underground, and seen by no-one."
GRAPHIC: (Two pyramids, a cat-head graphic superimposed underneath the ground shows them to be
"ears")
CM: "Europe too has it's animal traditions - in Zaradosa, the streets still get crazy with the annual running of the wasp."
(Crowds of people running from... nothing, in a style similar to the Spanish bull-runs)
CM: "In Britain in the last century, it was quite acceptable for a young gentleman to lose his virginity to one of London's
many "whoredogs". Dickens and Prince Albert both boasted of their experience."
(B&W footage of a dog walking around in a dress, (c) British Dog Archive>
CM: "Today, animals are used more discreetly - as a vital lubricant, in the wheels of government."
FP: "It was my job for seventeen years, to procure wild beasts for the er, Houses of Parliament and to get bats, gibbons
-"
CM: "Ex-civil servant Foster Pann purchased over a thousand animals to work in Westminster.
TITLE: (FOSTER PANN, Perm. Sec. for Beast Procurement 77-95)
FP: "Michael Heseltine finds it very useful, erm, if he's angry to have an ape to slap. Kenneth Clarke has a baby moose
in a cupboard."
CM: "The most common use of animals are zebras - hurrying between offices with documents pinned to their bodies."
FP: "Tony Benn had a tapir in the seventies that used to send messages on round Whitehall... Rude messages to the lords
ha ha I always remember he used to pin to the head of the tapir, ha ha ha. Most of it was great fun, I enjoyed the job, the
only difficulty I had was er, trying to haul a basking shark up the Thames - Jack Ashley. It didn't really work out, it died
after about three days of being tethered to the terrace. Jack was quite unpopular after that for a while."

EXT. LONDON PUB, DAY

HIDDEN FOOTAGE (Weasel fighting)
BL: "There's normally about forty - forty men in a room, standing round in a ring, and a bag above your head. Somebody
pulls a string, the weasels cascade out onto you, and you've got as short a time as possible to er dispatch them all. I've
seen men die weasel-fighting."
TITLE: (BERNARD LERRING, Former Weasel Fighter)
BL: "When you're fighting a weasel it's bigger than a man. And there is money in it, if you're good there's other perks
as well. The women; they fancy you if they see you kicking the shit out of a weasel."
CM: "After thirteen years in which he pulped over four thousand weasels, Bernard Lerring suffered a compound nervous breakdown."
BL: "I lost it, and er, I just picked up a living doing otters, which are very easy, are very docile animals, and erm,
even when they pump them full of rat hormones which they do - you could kill an otter in about a second... just kick it's
face off."

a dog, erm, I don't think they'd be nearly so worried if it was a little four-legged car, full of chips."
CUT TO:
GRAPHIC: (Man Vs Animal evil continuum paradox)
CM: "The evil in our relationship remains a paradox. If you plot "number of animals abused" against "what makes people
cruel" versus "intelligence of either party", the pattern is so unreadable, you might as well draw in a chain of fox-heads
on sticks. And if you do that, an interesting thing happens - the word "cruel" starts flashing. So, are we cruel to hunt foxes?"
