Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Barking Island (Chienne d'histoire, "bitch of history") is a 2010 animated short film (15 minutes) from France, directed by Serge Avedikian.The setting is Constantinople, 1910. The capital of the Ottoman Empire has become overrun with stray dogs, with some 60,000 roaming the streets. The film focuses on one single dog, a female, who births a litter of puppies in the street. Meanwhile, the government deliberates what to do. An expert arrives in town and suggests that the city's dogs be rounded up and sent to a rendering plant where they will be gassed and then rendered for skin and fats and fur. The government passes on this, and, for reasons that aren't clear, adopts a different and far crueler solution. | |

Diabolical Dog Catcher | |
| Barking Island / int_104ec859 | comment |
Diabolical Dog Catcher: Averted. The one man the film focuses on, one of the men who rounds up the dogs, is shown covering his ears as the howls from the island (only a half-mile offshore) are heard in the city. | |

Circling Vultures | |
| Barking Island / int_246989a4 | comment |
Circling Vultures: The island has no food or water. Some of the dogs eat each other, but those that aren't eaten by other dogs die of hunger and thirst. Near the end the film shows flocks of vultures circling over the island, which is littered with dog skeletons. | |
