A classic case of federal tyranny. A law so broad that it can be used to prosecute a person putting up a picture of their bird hunting trip.

This criminalization of everything under the sun has got to stop. My aunt could be arrested and prosecuted under this moonbat law if her interior decorator daughter permitted a home magazine to publish a fox and hounds hunt scene she has in her living room.

This is one of those crazy things you think could never happen. Like an elderly man spending 2 years in jail after a SWAT team finds “illegally” imported orchids. orchids!

Trouble is, of course, that many millions of people who find no cruelty at all in the notion of sticking a needle in an unborn baby’s skull and sucking out his/her brain, find the thought of a seasonal cull of wildlife - so that the animals won’t die slowly of starvation in winter - objectionable.

They don’t mind death in the slightest - heaven forbid they be deprived of their filet mignon at the dinner table - they just like to think of Bambi, out there in the woods, as living a carefree, fairy tale, life with the birdies and the butterflies... sorta like a talking baby.

Well, a talking baby who escaped the abortionist, anyway.

Modern life in a nutshell - and I do mean ‘nut.’

I wonder if this case could have an impact on the NFL or MLB and their right to control “the pictures, descriptions and accounts of this game”?

Paul McCartney (when he was still married to Linda) showed vivisection footage on big screens at his concert while the band played Helter Skelter.

Is THAT animal cruelty footage "ok" because it is used to shut down activity? Even in an entertainment setting?

The Butthole Surfers show footage of eyeball and genital surgery at their concerts but it doesn't seem to be for educational purposes.

I have pictures of what my .30-06 did to a prairie dog that they probably wouldn’t like much.

The case centers around a 1999 federal statute used to prosecute a Virginia man on animal cruelty-related charges that because it is so broadly written could similarly be used to prosecute anyone who publishes images of hunting...

The same argument is used against pornography.
You cannot be consistent and for one but against the other based on the outcome you want.

Why isn’t the VS tv network shut down? I call VS the animal killing channel.
