Supreme Court voids federal ban on crush animal cruelty videos
The Supreme Court struck down the 1999 federal ban on videos showing extreme animal cruelty, dismissing the law as too broad. It overturned Robert Stevens’s three-year sentence for pit bull fight videos, while suggesting a narrower crush video ban could be lawful. Justice Alito dissented, warning the ruling may spur more crush videos.
