RAMROD 116,996 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Animal cruelty has officially become a federal felony after President Donald Trump signed the bill into law on Monday afternoon. The bipartisan bill, Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act, criminalizes certain acts of animal cruelty. The bill was passed in the Senate by unanimous decision on Nov. 5 after being approved in the House in late October. It will make it a federal crime for "any person to intentionally engage in animal crushing if the animals or animal crushing is in, substantially affects, or uses a means or facility of, interstate or foreign commerce," according to a fact sheet of the bill. The bill, introduced in the House by Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., and Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., is an expansion on the 2010 Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act, which made the creation and distribution of "animal crushing" videos illegal. "After decades of work to protect animals and bearing witness to some of the worst cruelty, it’s so gratifying the Congress and president unanimously agreed that it was time to close the gap in the law and make malicious animal cruelty within federal jurisdiction a felony," Amundson said. "We cannot change the horrors of what animals have endured in the past, but we can crack down on these crimes moving forward. This is a day to celebrate."

If anything, he was pressured to sign it from his people as “poll number boosters” The only reason it landed on his desk is because the senate didn’t automatic vote down anything from the house. pretty sure there’s a red flag section in the law that’s so vague it’ll be policed unfairly. The names of laws don’t usually correlate with its intentions. See The Patriot Act for starters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic 49,376 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Just now, RAMROD said: That is story arc I never heard before. It make so much sense now He actually was. In 1933 he passed the biggest and most encompassing animal rights law the world had seen at that time and made laws that heavily regulated animal farming, animal hunting and animal transport. According to one of his cooks he liked to tell stories at festive banquets where meat was served about how brutually animals were slaughtered so that other attendees would lose their appetite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
