Unfortnately it's not, the supreme court ruled the law "Too broad" to enact on the videos. It was almsot made illegal. I wish this law could have gone through
Surely cruelty to animals is illegal in the US, that has to be grounds to make it illegal.
I mean, if molesting kids wasn't illegal neither would child porn be illegal. I believe the same principal should apply. Videotaping and distributing illegal and disgusting things for sexual pleasure should be illegal, be it snuff films, child pornography or animal cruelty films.
But then I'm from the UK, we have a different system.
I'm at work, so I can't find the Youtube video
Basically, a man was convicted of selling videos of pitbulls fighting. In one video, it was a dog fighting video from Japan (there Dog fighting is legal), and the other video was a dog ripping a pig apart. He claimed he was selling the videos for educational purposes and demonstrating how Pit bulls will attack other dogs and (in the pigs case) how they hunt. He was released.
THe entire bill was dropped. Despite the fact that it could be contextualized (obviously ban animal cruelty crushed by bare or heeled feet for pornographic reasons) but that specification was never ni the original bill. Now because "For educational purposes" it can be considered an exception, the bill is basically invalid.
That's a problem, the moment a bill saying "No animal cruelty at all" has an exception added to it, the bill gets tossed because it's too broad and doesn't apply. Even if a new bill was added, it could take months or years to iron out what contexts animal cruelty isn't allowed to be used. lets not forget that PETA (sarcastic fucking woot) uses videos of animal cruelty in their campaigns to show just how wrong it is, so the bill was stopping them from doing that.
it's a piss poor fucking excuse, since they could EASILY keep the bill instated, incarcerate those breaking it, and make exceptions as they feel are valid rather than tossing a whole fucking bill that prevent sick minded cocks from doing this shit.
