One of the points that Ruggero Deodato often makes about Cannibal Holocaust when criticised for the mondo style animal slaughter footage in it is that it's no big deal if one grows up in a rural community.

There's a little human interest 'from our own correspondent' story on the BBC about the 'day of the pig' in Umbria that makes for interesting reading in this regard:
