During the event, Quentin Tarantino said (via variety):

I have a big problem with killing animals in movies. It’s a line I can’t cross. Even the bugs. Unless I’m going to see some weird documentary, I’m not paying to see a real death. Part of how this all works is that it’s just plain wrong.

That’s why I tolerate violent scenes, because it makes us laugh. But an animal, a dog, a llama, a fly or a mouse doesn’t care about your film. I could kill a million rats, but I don’t necessarily want to kill one in a movie or see one killed in a movie, because I’m not paying to see real death. (…) There is usually a factor of incompetence in this.

On the other hand, Quentin Tarantino has no problem for use violence to change the course of history in his feature films, for example by killing Hitler in the finale ofInglourious Basterds. He added approx Once upon a time…in Hollywood :

I wrote this to save Sharon and kill those motherfuckers.
