Black flowing robes cover primates as they sit in classical buildings. They observe the customs , mummeries and procedures of Supreme court lawgivers. Yesterday our motely group with an 8 to 1 decision allowed that it was OK to produce and sell videos of animal torture and death. These types of films are called crush films. The super majority opinion thought there were some instances that could impinge on First Amendment rights of citizens if these films were outlawed. For example, a video of a cock fight in Puerto Rico could be a criminal offense if the video was found in someones possesion in the U.S. Well for that one example and some other possibilities a whole menu of ugly and gratuitous maiming , torture and death of hapless and helpless animals are now eligible to become stars in real-life horror movies. Just so we can protect the sick and morbidly curious human. What's next?
There are too many laws with too little critical thinking about the possible unintended consequences of those laws. A better world would allow the immediate assassination of animal abusers on the spot.
