HAAC - Hurt (1998, Athana)

(Note: Athana is a fictional country, as it doesn't exist in real life)
A disturbing 1998 PIF from the HAAC (Humans Against Animal Cruelty, formerly known as HAAB) 
Description: Other than the white background at the end, This entire PIF is in 2D animation. We see a yellow dog (resembling a Golden Retriever) walk on screen. A tall man walks on screen, and stares at the ground with a melancholic expression on his face. This lasts for a good 10 seconds. After the 10 seconds are over, a man grabs his belt, put it around the dogs' neck, and proceeds to strangle it with the belt. This animation goes on for 15 seconds, before the screen cuts to a white background. White text appears in the centre of the screen:
"Circa XLV canes abusi sunt omni mense in Athana" (Translation: About 45 Dogs are abused every month in Athana)
More text appears on screen:
"Auxilia nos prohibere animàl crudelitatem!" (Translation: Help us stop animal cruelty!)
"pro magis notitia, voca numerum è fundo of di scréèn" (For more information, call the number at the bottom of the screen)
"Donare, quaeso, hodie wèbsete visita" (To donate, please visit our website today)
"Haec nuntium tibi affertur ab hominibus contra abusu animalem" (This message is brought to you by People Against Animal Abuse)
A dog's paw can be seen near the word: "Animalem" and the Phone Number can be seen at the bottom of the screen. After 20 seconds, everything fades to black
(Since most people in Athana don't speak english, they use roman numerals for numbers)
FX/SFX: Mostly 2D Animation.
Music/Sounds: When the dog appears on screen, a happy go-lucky synth tune can be heard. The tune dies down when the Man appears on screen. After the man appears, there is dead silence for about 10 seconds. When the man is choking the dog, a very suspenseful violin-theme plays in the background. The violin theme gets more and more intense until the screen fades to a white background, then all we can hear is a mournful piano piece. The piano theme continues until the screen fades to black.
Availability: Banned from Television, but it was shown in cinemas with an R18 rating. 
Scare Factor: High to Nightmare. The sudden mood change is bound to catch you off guard, and the footage of the Man strangling the Dog isn't any better. The mournful Piano piece at the end makes it a lot more ominous.
