"The Scavengers" is the name of a British PIF (public information film) shown before horror movies in 1987. The ad is from a charity known as Lynx, attempting to stop the madness that is animal fur trading. This ad takes things up a notch.
The PSA
The ad starts off in a fly's POV, hovering and buzzing over a city, as ominous music plays. Cut to a woman exiting a car and entering a building with a fur coat in hand. Meanwhile, the flies manage to enter the building and set their sights on a fur coat on a mannequin. After a couple of metaphors comparing the flies and the humans to using fur, the woman finally notices something suspicious about that mannequin. She and a man she met walk over to it as the weird sound effects in the back increase in volume, and as soon as the woman pulls the mannequin's coat, a series of fast close-ups of the flies and maggots taking refuge in the mannequin, revealed to be an animal carcass with a still-beating heart (that ends up falling to the floor) are shown, accompanied by electronic screams that echo. The ad ends with this message: "When animals are killed for fur, two kinds of scavengers move in. The difference? The flies don't know better."
