RAMROD 117,025 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."

ilocorB 548 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I am totally for laws against animal cruelty but they are so specist. It’s mostly a law to protect pets and animals will still be mistreated, mostly milk cows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
