So to be clear—you do some Googling and find two videos, one has realistic CGI animal harm, the other real animal harm; assume the CGI etc is so good that I wouldn’t be able to tell which was which if you hadn’t told me. You don’t pay for the animal harm video, or in any way give anyone an incentive to harm an animal in fetching it; just pick up a pre-existing one. I have a choice between watching the fake-harm video (and knowing it’s fake) or watching the real-harm video and receiving £100.
If the reward is £100, I’ll take the £100; if it’s an actual biscuit, I prefer to watch the fake-harm video.
