Animals are one of the many things that are on the dinner table in this 80's style horror/gore/zombie/comedy.(little fluffy makes for a finger licking good time)
As a blind buy I would give it a 7 out of 10 if you like the 80's style horror/comedy.
EDIT...I forgot that you started this thread...my advice stay away!

Yeah, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST is the king of movies showing real animal deaths. 
But the Grindhouse SE DVD does have a "animal killing free" version too.

The bit where the astronaut killed and ate a raw rattlesnake in Capricorn One was rather disturbing the first time I saw it.
The water buffalo being slashed in apocalypse now was kind of shocking, but they don't really show it for long.
Most disney movies have animal deaths.
Good one.

The American Humane Society keeps a database with info about the animal work in the films. They rate the films either acceptable, or not, or believed to be.

I had this same question when I first learned about Death and Mondo films. It's a shame some films use genuine animal killings. A few to steer clear from:
The Man Behind The Red Sun
Faces of Death series(some may not have been done for the cameras, as their is slaughterhouse footage and other ways animals are killed for goods)
Pretty much anything by Jacopetti and Prosperti and the other 'Mondo' film makers. Tons of slaughterings in Africa, some utterly pointless just done for the cameras. You may also want to check out cuts the BBFC may have made to the film, over in the UK. They cut pretty much all animal footage even if it's fake in some cases, probably your best bet.
Hope that helps!

Butterfly Effect has the dog buying it in one scene. Totally pissed off my exgirlfriend over the whole movie. It's not like the filmmakers killed the real dog (fx dogs are a wonderful thing) so I didn't see this as a reason to hate the movie.
Return of the Jedi kills that one Ewok & causes another to cry.

Of course, a human (Supposedly) gets executed later on in the movie, but we all flinch and gasp at the animal death. Strange.
And of all the "cannibal" movies that I've seen, the croc death (Well, torture sequence, to be exact since it doesn't exactly die instantly) in Jungle Holocaust is really sick to watch.
The Italians don't fuck around.
