Animal Cruelty
» Crime & Punishment
Since crush is such an obscure fetish I had no idea that a federal law to prevent the making of crush clips:
The law was enacted in response to so-called “crush videos,” in which, according its legislative history, women “talking to the animals in a kind of dominatrix patter” crushed them “with their bare feet or while wearing high-heeled shoes.”
It was meant to have only a focus on the abuse of animals for kinky purposes:
President Clinton issued a statement when he signed the bill, saying he would instruct the Justice Department to construe the law narrowly, limiting it to “wanton cruelty to animals designed to appeal to a prurient interest in sex.”
