Certain acts of animal cruelty is a felony and federal crime now * 2
    #26347154 - 11/26/19 05:03 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Quote:

In a rare display of political unity, President Trump on Monday signed a bipartisan bill that, for the first time, makes acts of animal cruelty a federal crime punishable with fines and up to seven years in prison.

The bill, called the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act, was introduced in the House this year by two Florida lawmakers — Representative Vern Buchanan, a Republican, and Representative Ted Deutch, a Democrat. It expands a 2010 law signed by President Barack Obama that banned videos that show animals being crushed, burned, drowned, suffocated, impaled or subjected to other forms of torture.

Now, intentional acts of cruelty shown in the videos are also felony offenses.

People found guilty of those crimes should face an immediate firing squad.

No appeals, no crying, just straight from the courthouse to the firing range.

Well it's been illegal -- it was just that one would get a virtual slap on the wrist for acts of animal cruelty. Probation. Community service. A really heinous act may get you a month or two, but very rarely anything worse than that.

Now they're finally treating it like a real crime. It's definitely a step in the right direction.

Once I murder a cat with a dull ax because it kept on pissing on my used clothes and bed. The other cat didn't piss. Big pussy the cat. I guess the problem was, I researched later, that both cats were male. Demure was so cute and cuddly, but I had to kill him.

One of those things where you're like that wasn't illegal? I treat most animals like human except chicken, beef pork and everything else i eat but I have such a sense that my dog was a human child that it destroyed me. Can't be destroyed if you didn't care

Hopefully people will be decent enough to not politicize this just because you know who's name is attached to it. Fact is this is a great thing (obviously) regardless of political leanings & affiliations, and credit to republicans and democrats for pressing pause for a moment on their constant attacks on each other to come together on something that should have been done a long time ago (better late than never).

This is a really good thing!

Bet money he'll just say Trump had nothing to do with it and thus deserves no credit (which I suppose is probably true; but who gives a fuck lol)

happy that a form of legit cruelty and abuse has been fought against; (lets just hope there's no sinister fine print in there...)
