      WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court said Monday it will explore a dark corner of Americans' fascination with animals, whether the sale of videos depicting dog fights and violent deaths of small animals is protected by the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech.

      The justices in the fall agreed to hear arguments in the government's appeal of a court ruling that struck down a federal law aimed at the sale of images of animal cruelty.

      You can choose a ready guide
      In some celestial voice.
      If you choose not to decide
      You still have made a choice
      You can choose from phantom fears
      And kindness that can kill;
      I will choose a path that's clear-
      I will choose free will
