We read:
"Amazon.com says it will keep selling two magazines about cockfighting, despite plans by the Humane Society of the United States to file a lawsuit Thursday accusing the company of operating an illegal "animal-fighting paraphernalia sale and distribution scheme." ....
The Humane Society said it would file the lawsuit Thursday morning in District of Columbia Superior Court. The organization originally threatened to sue Amazon.com Inc. last July, saying the company was violating the federal Animal Welfare Act by offering The Feathered Warrior and The Gamecock, two cockfighting magazines.
Seattle-based Amazon.com said the magazines are legal and would continue to be sold on its Web site. Refusing to sell books or magazines simply because their messages may offend is censorship, spokeswoman Patty Smith said.....
In De Queen, Arkansas, "Feathered Warrior" owner-editor Verna Dowd, 77, said the Humane Society's legal threats are too heavy-handed. "The Humane Society are crazy people," Dowd said. "They want total control, evidently, over everything people do or think or says, or anything. I don't know what's wrong with them."
