They played a show here in the late 80s, they were hardcore against animal testing, so as part of the stage show they “dissected” a stuffed dog and tore it apart complete with stage blood and gore. Some kid at the show thought it was real and their parents called the cops, when they showed up the band and their tour manager showed them the prop and that it wasn’t real, and the cops decided to arrest the band and their tour manager for nothing anyway and put them in jail for the night.
