Crush Videos as about as low as people can sink.

[catmandu]

Phesina our Friend gave me the heads up on something so vile and inhumane that its hard to believe that there are people who would do these things.
They are called crush videos where small animals are tortured and killed byso called sexy women.
Pat is trying to get this banned, if you see her petition please sign.
All I can do is praythat Our All Mighty Lord Gods taking notes.
And they are making room in hell

There is a special place in H*ll for people who will harm either animals or children. May they NOT rest in any kind of peace!!!

This is an issue in the U.S. right now because of a recent Supreme Court decision striking down a law against these kinds of materials because the law is written too broadly. A Congressman has submitted a new bill tightening up the language.

The ASPCA sent out a mailing, which I got, about this, which I forwarded on to my "Cats" e-mail list (after I contacted my own Rep., John Dingell), asking people to contact their own representatives to support this and to spread the word to others.

I thought at first of taking Gary and Candace off the list to get this one.. but then I thought, If something like this was going on in Canada (or anywhere else), I'd want to know about it and what is being done or might be done to stop it.

And, wherever you live, please be aware that such things do go on, and if there is anything you can do to stop it, please do so..

And if you know other Americans who might join in in this action, please let them know too!

Here is more information I put in a thread about this issue and the U.S. Constitution in the Dog House:

I just got an e-mail from the ASPCA about this:

Representative Elton Gallegly of California has acted quickly and introduced a bill to amend the law. H.R. 5092 will make the Crush Act’s language more specific and resolve the over-breadth concerns raised by the Supreme Court.

Passage of H.R. 5092 will help prevent a revitalization of the crush video industry. This horrific industry has no place in a civilized society. The original Crush Act was passed with little opposition—help us ensure that this revision passes, too.

What You Can Do

AMERICANS:
Please get in touch with your representative asking him/her to support and co-sponsor this bill and act to move it quickly through the legislative process. Contact forms and more information are available through the ASPCA's web site (https://secure2.convio.net/aspca/sit...iqerd3.app223b).

and EVERYBODY:
Please spread the word to as many others (especially Americans) as you can, too!

THANK YOU!!!!!
