I too agree with LH and STE. Freedom means freedom, you can't pick and choose. Once you start that, there is no end to it.
They are not saying that cruelty is now legal. They are saying that documenting it is legal. If it were not, no one could make a documentary about dogfighting or illegal whaling, for example. No one could film the TV shows everyone loves about cops and criminals. That is, after all, filming illegal acts, some of them no doubt cruel. Obviously, this also allows scumbags to profit from their or their friends and relatives dog fighting. But, it might also be the way the ring is identified and busted.
The point is, you can't allow some freedom of speech and press and not all.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
