All of the following are illegal:

	Any reference to or depiction of hunting wild animals and birds.
	Any reference to or depiction of the consumption of the flesh of protected species e.g. deer, partridge, wild boar etc.
	Any use of wild animals e.g. snakes,monkeys, lions etc. since this implies private possession of them which is illegal.
	Any reference to or depiction of street entertainers with wild animals.
	Any scene that has likely caused the injury or death of any animal e.g. snakes slithering on tarmac as this will have caused burning of the snake’s underbelly.
	The needless death of any animal, e.g. aquariums being broken killing all the fish.
	Fights being staged in chicken coops frightening and injuring the birds.
	Any reference or depiction of caged birds.
	The use of birds as messengers as this implies captivity and training of a protected species.
	Birds being used to embellish romantic song sequences as this implies that the birds have been maimed by clipping their wings causing them to fall each time they are thrown in imitation of natural flight.

Under Section 11 PCA, it is illegal to transport any animal in a manner that will cause it unnecessary suffering. This includes carrying chickens upside down or stuffed into small cages loaded onto trucks; or carrying pigs on cycles and so on.
