PETA Won't Hide Meat's Ugly Side
Turns out that Iowa’s not the only state that objects to the idea of fair visitors learning the ugly truth about how meat is made. After the Kansas State Fair sent a letter insisting that PETA could have a booth only if any pictures or videos “that depict animal slaughter, animal harvest, hide removal, or show or depict live animals being decapitated, dismembered or butchered” be shielded from view unless people specifically choose to view them, our legal team fired back a reply demanding that the decision be reversed because it violates PETA’s constitutional right to free speech.
Here’s the deal: The state has established the fair as a public forum, and the right to free speech requires that there be no content-based censorship in a public forum. Consider, too, that fair officials don’t appear to be making the same demand of other exhibitors, meaning that it’s only PETA’s content that they’re trying to squelch. Plus, fairgoers deserve to know how much the animals who were raised and killed for their cheeseburgers and chili dogs suffered—though I guess that last point isn’t actually a legal issue.
