Juluri is referring to something specific: the Supreme Court's examination of First Amendment protection of acts of cruelty to animals. It may be for the courts to decide whether cruelty to animals can pass off as free speech, but we must also rethink these important ideas as a culture.

Dunayer devotes a chapter each to the language used in hunting, zoos, "marine parks," vivisection and "animal agriculture."
