What the U.S. Supreme Court repealed is The Crush Act which criminalized the creation and sale of genuine depictions of animal cruelty . Crush "art" is inhumane humans making movies where cruel actors are killing animals as "art".
Apparently the U.S. Supreme Court made this ruling because "art" is all about "freedom of expression".
My view:
"freedom of expression" includes the expressions all species. When animals are screaming in anguish and pain, their freedom of expression overrules the "expression of art" created by sicko humans abusing and torturing animals to death to make money.
After all, we humans are just one species of animal in the Animal Kindgom (the inhumane one). Human right to "freedom of expression" ends when animal, aquatic, avian, insect and all other lives are being tortured by us, the humans.
From the website Pet-Abuse,
According to a 1997 study done by the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and Northeastern University, animal abusers are five times more likely to commit violent crimes against people and four times more likely to commit property crimes than are individuals without a history of animal abuse.

Just one example of serial abusers of human animals starting by abusing animals: Jeffrey Dahmer, who liked to torture and kill little animals.
From the website: http://www.directessays.com/viewpaper/14748.html
As an adult, he did the same, but with humans. The Milwaukee chocolate factory worker lured gay, black men to his apartment with the promise of sex and drugs, and instead killed them and had them for dinner. Once his victims were dead, Dahmer came to life. He would have sex with the corpses and was conscientious to always wear a condom. Sex with live beings was not as good because they could get up and leave at any moment. He also enjoyed mutilation, and experimented with different ways of disposing of the bodies. He once tried to turn one of his victims into a zombie by performing a homemade lobotomy on the man by drilling into his brain, and then pouring acid into the holes. When captured, police found three dissolving bodies in 55-gallon acid vats in his bedroom. They also found four severed heads, seven skulls, skeletons in his closet and a penis in a lobster pot. Ironically, Dahmer had no food in the fridge, only condiments. In the freezer he had a heart stashed "to eat later." Dahmer was killed when he was viciously attacked by Christopher Scarver, a convicted killer on antipsychotic medication, while mopping the bathroom floor in a maximum security prison. Dahmer's brain (at his mother's request) was preserved in formaldehyde for future study.
The Dahmers of the world who begin with killing animals are not taken seriously by the U.S. Supreme Court, ignoring that inhumane killers are inhumane to all life: aquatic, avian, flora, fauna, insect, primate … us.
When the next serial killer strikes, Americans can thank the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court who — by this ruling — are aiding in the creation of future serial killers. If Hell exists, these justices should be at the head of the line...
