Not allowed to produce first aid pet video

Subject: Request for review — non-graphic pet emergency video blocked by moderation

I am creating a promotional video for Taganize, an NFC dog identification tag that opens a personalized dog website when tapped with a compatible phone. No app is required. The website can provide owner contact information, veterinarian and emergency hospital contacts, medication and allergy information, and uploaded health records.

One video illustrates why having this information readily available matters during an unexpected emergency while hiking.

The intended scene is:

  • A family walks along a woodland trail with their dog on a leash.

  • A rattlesnake makes one brief strike to the dog’s lower front leg, immediately releases and retreats into the foliage.

  • The dog recoils and lifts the bitten leg. Two small red puncture marks indicate the bite.

  • The father kneels beside the dog with concern while the mother comforts their frightened child.

There is no large wound, torn flesh, flowing blood, prolonged attack or depiction of animal abuse. This is a fictional, AI-generated scene; no real animal is involved or harmed.

The purpose is to depict an accidental pet emergency and explain the value of quickly accessing the dog’s information and emergency contacts. We are not suggesting that the tag treats snakebite or replaces urgent veterinary care.

My generation attempts are being blocked with a message referring to community policy. Please review whether the moderation system is incorrectly flagging this non-graphic emergency scenario.

If the requested scene is prohibited, please identify the applicable policy and explain what changes would make it permissible while still clearly communicating that the dog experienced a snakebite. I am seeking a compliant way to tell this story, not to bypass your safeguards.

I can provide the exact prompt, reference images and a screenshot of the rejection message for review.

Thank you,

    In this video I just want to edit the scene where the dog bites the dog and it shows my content violates content policy but I’m creating a training and awareness video. 

    It’s too bad that the actual violation isn’t laid out clearly.

    Hi ​@fashionable_Songbirdf467, here are a few ideas. Firefly is probably blocking a direct depiction of an animal being struck. Remove the “rattlesnake” and injury details and show only the family responding to a startled dog, with the snake retreating in a separate shot. As Gabriel mentions, “child” is likely a problem. I used "everyone," and it only showed a man and woman. So, my prompt needs some adjustment, but it’s a start, and it has rendered something. I used Kling 3.0 without multi-shot or reference frames (160 credits).

    Family-friendly fictional wildlife-safety scene on a woodland trail. A family pauses as their dog, still on its leash, suddenly lifts one front paw and leans close to its owner. A rattlesnake is visible farther back, slipping harmlessly into the foliage. The father kneels to comfort and check the dog while the mother reassures everyone. Calm, concerned expressions; no contact between animals, no visible injury or blood.

    For this prompt, I used Runway Gen-4.5 (200 credits). Rather than “child,” I used “boy” and indicated who the principals are at the beginning. It worked!

    Wildlife-safety awareness video in a peaceful forest. A family—mother, father, and boy—notice a rattlesnake near the trail and calmly moves back with their leashed dog. The dog lifts one front paw after being startled. The father checks on the dog while the mother comforts the boy. The snake remains at a safe distance and disappears into the foliage. No attack, contact, or visible injury.

    When I need a younger character, I use GenZ or GenAlpha which seems to work. 

    Prompt writing takes finesse. The less verbose you are, the better.

    Hi, fashionable_Songbirdf467!

     

    About your generations getting blocked or failing, it’s often due to a few common triggers. Here are some quick tips to get your prompts working:

    •  Avoid long, complicated AI-generated prompts.
    • Firefly won't generate trademarked brands, political figures, or celebrities.

    • No child-related terms: The safety filters will block prompts containing words like child, kid, boy, or girl, or anything resembling child-like imagery.

    • Nudity and adult content are strictly blocked.

    • For video models, avoid dark or busy reference images. The AI needs to easily distinguish the main character from the background.

    If it still doens’t work, please send us the reference images, the full exact prompt and a video showing your workflow.

     

    Best,

     

    Gabriel
