Did the Supreme Court get this right?

Asked by filmfann (52219points) April 21st, 2010

Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of free speech, over animal rights.
The Case, described here involved videos posted showing pit bulls attacking other animals, and included “crush” videos, in which women, bare foot or wearing high heels, stepped on animals such as pigs and rabbits, killing them.
Only one justice felt the protection of animals from this kind of abuse was more important than the poster’s right to freedom of speech.
I am horribly conflicted over this. I am a big fan of Freedom of Speech, but I detest animal cruelty.
How do you feel?
