Pea-brained legislators (Score:1)

Here's the exact text of the amendment:
No person shall…with the intent to commit a crime, photograph, videotape or otherwise obtain images from within a structure that an animal is housed without the express written consent of the animal facility.
[caution: this came from the RTNDA [rtnda.org] web site]

Now, it sounds like a pretty silly law... but HOW FUCKING ILLITERATE does one have to be to get elected in Missouri?
"within a structure that an animal is housed"???
Seems to me that a "correct" parse of that paragraph has it talking about animals that are housed without the consent of the animal facility.
:-)
