Apparently after filming Tales of the Riverbank they just released the animals (rats, hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs) used into the wild. Most of them quickly died sadly, but there was a wild colony of gerbils on the Isle of Wight for a few years. Makes me shudder to think that was considered acceptable back then.
