Animal cruelty bill (1 Viewer)

I applaud the baby steps. The House passes a lot of stuff that the Senate never brings to a vote, so we'll see what happens with this. And while a law against literally crushing animals is nice, I'd like to see laws against much more common forms of animal mistreatment.

This is stupid legislation. They do not deserve praise for this.

Summary of bill...
This bill revises and expands criminal provisions with respect to animal crushing.
It retains existing criminal offenses that prohibit knowingly creating or distributing an animal crush video using interstate commerce. The bill also adds a new provision to criminalize an intentional act of animal crushing. A violator is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to seven years, or both.
It provides additional exceptions for conduct, or a video of conduct, including conduct that is (1) medical or scientific research, (2) necessary to protect the life or property of a person, (3) performed as part of euthanizing an animal, or (4) unintentional.

Those dogs are bad ###. I grew up with German Shepards and always thought having a Belgian Malinois would be sweet.

I was going to ask if a federal law was really needed in this area. Seems like the states should have it covered.
But I guess I'm wrong.
