"ANIMAL APPETITES is a wry look at the 1989 Long Beach trial of two Cambodian immigrants charged with killing a dog for food. With over 99 million cattle and 5.7 billion chickens consumed per year in the U.S., this humorous video poses the question, 'Why all the fuss over one dog?' The story follows their trial on animal cruelty charges and examines the law prohibiting consumption of pets, passed as a result of the case." --VHS Container
