WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court this fall will decide whether free speech rights protect video depictions of animal cruelty, experts say.
At issue is the case of a Virginia pit bull breeder who was convicted of selling videos of dogfights, whose case is scheduled to be heard next month. He is supported by book publishers, movie makers, photographers, artists and journalists, who are concerned about the free speech implications of his arrest, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
