:17:02
when the tribal chiefs
announce that finally,

:17:04
after 5 years of waiting,
the meal is ready.

:17:38
Someone thought
about the children,

:17:40
and gave up eating the bladders.
:17:43
Maybe playing soccer
is also an instinct

:17:46
as ancient as hunger.
:17:53
Here too, the chiefs
are allowed to eat

:17:56
as much as they want.
:17:58
As long as they do it
without looking hungry,

:18:00
as they are an example
of good eating manners.

:18:15
Along with the tribal chiefs,
:18:16
the dogs enjoy a special
treatment too.

:18:19
lt's maybe some sort
of gentle feeling,

:18:22
something unexpected
among so much cruelty,

:18:24
so, we'd be happy
for having discovered it.

:18:27
Or maybe, these are just
the dogs of the chiefs.

:18:30
Then we wouldn't have
discovered anything new.

:18:48
But the country
where compassion for dogs

:18:50
goes beyond the limits of
human imagination is America.

:18:54
We are in the canine
cemetery of Pasadena,

:18:57
in the outskirts of Los Angeles.
:18:58
The same that inspired
Evelyn Waugh's famous book.
