Animal rights has taken a serious blow

The Supreme Court has protected so called freedom of speech and stopped animal rights in its tracks. Last week the Supreme Court ruled that "crush" films are completely legal and are protected under the first amendment.

Crush films are films in which views see a woman from the waste down in high heels and a small animal (puppies, kittens, rats, etc...) The woman talks to the animal in a dominatrix like voice and will step on the animal impaling it with the high heel.

The whole idea of crush films being labeled under freedom of expression is ridiculous. It is sick and the people who get their jollies from watching it need help not a free pass.

Child porn is illegal because it is wrong and processing it is a felony, why is killing an animal and selling video of it legal?

For once our government has seriously disappointed me.

Billionaire's bid for park bison cause outrage

Billionaire Ted Turner has offered to hold 88 bison from Yellow Stone National Park for five years so that they are not slaughtered.
In return Turner wants to be able to keep up to 90 percent of the bison's offspring.
The bid is creating controversy about just how much big pocketed business men should be allowed to help in conservation.
Hunters, environmentalists and property law experts have all given their opinion on the matter and most say Turner's plan sets a dangerous precedent for the commercialization of public wildlife. However, others describe Turner as a responsible steward of the land with the resources needed to take care of animals that desperately need a home.
