Po zaslugi vegetarijanskega pakta živali živijo v »mirnem sožitju«. Vse razen ene: smrdljiva hijena Crevel, ki je naveličana te dnevne rutine brezveznega sadja in zelenjave, komaj čaka, da zagrize v katerega izmed sočnih soprebivalcev sveta. Crevel se neke noči, odločen, da dobi svoje zadoščenje in poruši obstoječo »dobro karmo«, odpravi na pokopališče. Namerava se dodobra nasititi s trupli mrtvih živali, a ne bo mu uspelo: nekdo ga je že prehitel! Pérsicus, levji vladar, in njegova desna roka tiger Altaucus sta organizirala celo kriminalno mrežo za tihotapljenje trupel, da bi lahko nasitila svojo slo po mesu. Ko ju živali razkrinkajo, krivdo za surovo oskrunjenje grobov zvrneta na Crevela, ki je tako prisiljen pobegniti pred srdom rastlinojedcev.

Pedro Rivero (1969, Bilbao) je od leta 2002 predsednik baskovskega Združenja scenaristov. V devetdesetih je kot scenarist sodeloval pri številnih animiranih serijah in celovečercih. Razočaran nad to izkušnjo se je odločil vzeti stvari v svoje roke in ustanovil produkcijski studio Abrakam Estudio. Pod njegovim okriljem je produciral film Kriza mesojedcev, nastal po predlogi stripov, ki jih je petnajst let prej objavljal v časopisu El Diario Vasco. Trenutno se ukvarja s produkcijskim delom, poučevanjem in občasnim sodelovanjem pri filmu in gledališču, kar pa je prav tako eno samo razočaranje …

Thanks to the Vegetarian Pact, all animals live together in "peace and harmony". All but one: stinky hyena Crevel, who is sick of his crappy-daily-fruit-and-vegetable ration and is desperate to sink his teeth into some tender co-inhabitant of the world. Determined to get his fill and to wreak havoc in the prevailing "good karma" atmosphere, one night Crevel goes to the cemetery planning to stuff himself with stiffs, but he can't do it: Someone has beat him to it! Pérsicus, the president lion, and his consigliere, tiger Altaicus, have set up a perverse food smuggling network with the bodies in order to secretly fulfil their hunger for meat. When they are discovered, they blame Crevel for the brutal profanation, forcing him to escape from the herbivores' fury.

Pedro Rivero (1969, Bilbao) has been the president of the Basque Screenwriters Guild since 2002, and he worked as a writer on several animation series and feature films during the nineties. Disgusted by the experience, he decides to take control of his work through the company Abrakam Estudio and the production of the feature film Animal Crisis, based on some comic strips that he published fifteen years ago in the newspaper El Diario Vasco. Currently he combines his work heading said project with teaching and occasional collaborations in film and theatre, which are also disgusting to him…
