There has to be some limits to free speech. Some things go too far.
The act of killing the animal is still illegal (if it is illegal regardless of filming). Filming it, is not itself illegal. I do recommend reading the first four pages of the decision (I linked to it above) it pretty clearly lays out its case.

But equally important as whether it makes illegal something that should be illegal is that the law also made illegal things that should be legal.
