On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments over a law banning video depictions of animal cruelty. The law was party inspired by the sensationalized “crush porn” craze. In crush porn, women stomp on small animals, in bare feet or in heels, in order for crush porn fetishists to get off.

Crushing puppies and kitties to death in the name of sexual arousal obviously ain’t legal. The question posed to the Court was whether disseminating video evidence of these crimes constituted a crime in itself—-even if the evidence was being used to educate people not to hurt animals.

The Supreme Court will likely overturn the ban on “crush porn” and other filmed animal cruelties. I support upholding the First Amendment position on this one, but I’d rather I had never, ever become aware of the fact that there are people out there who actually get off on killing widdle aminals beneath their scary feets.

Luckily, a completely safe, totally adorable—-and porn-inspired!—-kitty video has surfaced to wash all those crush-porn thoughts away. It’s called “3 Cats, 1 Steak,” and I’ve watched it twice already. Enjoy.
