By BaxterWe cats would find our world pretty wanting without our daily dose of The New York Times. But today we give The Gray Lady a well-deserved HISS for its editorial supporting animal-cruelty videos as free speech.
Ugh. This is also one day that we're mighty glad we don't sit on the SCOTUS — since John "Gee, I Could Have Used an Index Card" Roberts and his fellow Supremes are hearing a case right now about sadistic "crush" videos and others of their disgusting ilk.
We assume that we don't need to explain what a "crush" video is. But we'd just like to know: If snuff movies and child porn are against the law, why shouldn't recorded animal cruelty be as well? It is equally as appalling. (Yes, we know that the nature channels on T.V. show a lot of lionesses bringing down zebras and wildebeests. But we think there's a big difference between pornography and National Geographic.)
Therefore, we urge the Supreme Court to declare animal abuse unprotected speech. As for you sick, sick people who get your jollies from "crush" videos, we wish that Hellboy were available. He loves cats, and if we asked him to, he'd crush you!
