You have too much stupidity to understans that they are trying to make it against the law to make, sell or have anything that has humans making other animals fight eachother for entertainment or idiotic people killing innocent animals to make their sick and twist minds feel better about themselves. There is a big difference between a lion killing it prey and having people watch so we can see the ways of animals. And we do not kill fish for our pleasure, to make us feel good about ourselves but for the survival of human life. Plus, a videogame is animated how can you even compare that? I think someone needs to go back to school and learn some more. :] Obviously you do not see the difference.

A duck hunting video game would clearly be illegal under this statute, if it didn't include the federally mandated duck hunting stamps, as would "Unlicensed Fisherman: the Motion Picture." Thank God for the First Amendment, and judges willing to apply it. I disagree.

I gather it could mean the end of hunting and fishing shows as they show “wounded” animals. Perhaps the end of “Wild Kingdom” type shows too." Yes indeed, imagine all the depictions of hunting and fishing that show cruelty to animals! I'm sure Stevens argued this to the Court of Appeals.
