By a margin of 8-1, the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down 18 U.S.C. 48, a federal law banning “graphic violence against animals.” Free speech and all that. Yes, but, at what price freedom? “The law was enacted in 1999 to limit Internet sales of so-called crush videos,” the AP reports with characteristic dispassion. “which appeal to a certain sexual fetish by showing women crushing to death small animals with their bare feet or high-heeled shoes.” In the case considered by the Supremes, the justices quashed the conviction of Robert Stevens of Pittsville, Va., sentenced to three years in prison for making videos of pit bull fights. So what’s this got to do with hunting?
