The bipartisan bill, Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture 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.
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.
We also need this, so that anyone who abuses an animal can never get another animal again.
Really?
Check jack and what some users are posting on Twitter .. traveling w “cancer ridden dogs” is inhumane RT to rescue these dogs and spread awareness
Cops Brutality Against Citizens ( CBAC) Bill should be passed
That's interesting for once in Trump regiment
Ah yes but please, keep the gun control bill on your desk for a later date, Mitch McConnell 😠
This bill doesn’t go far enough include all animal cruelty
Except farm animals
In AnimalKingdom all Animals are Eaqual.
I guess he wants to be covered! NBCNews politico
Not saying that I don't agree with this, BU I don't think it should be a Federal ruling, this should be handed to the States, just like most murder charges.
Bet this really pisses you off ABC
ggreenwald What about factory farms?
Orange man bad
God Bless President Trump!
Well......Let's hear it. Tell us why Trump is bad for this.
Nice bipartisan bill. Need more of this.
only good thing this president has done pity he hasn’t passed a law about cruelty to human asylum speakers
That's good. Now, let's work on 'human cruelty'!
ggreenwald I'd be more inclined to get behind this if I had more trust that officer's didn't abuse the badge & the system didn't profit from mass incarceration. Trump locks babies in cages now he's an animal lover? I honestly don't know how I feel about it.
Finally 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yayyyy for the privileged animals 👍🏾
Trump is such a monster.
Wow, he's actually doing something good for once.
Trump does not even like dogs!!
ggreenwald I wonder if anyone will suggest killing animals for food is cruel?
By what perverted twisting of the Constitution is this a federal concern? Do we need Congress interfering in everything?
Progress.
Imagine if we made killing babies a felony.
Finally! Thank you!
Yes!!
The only thing he did right as president big deal this should been in effect long time ago oh wait he didn't make the law a democrat did Trump just signed into effect to look like he cares about our counties animals
ggreenwald Do you eat meat? Just saying... because 'animal cruelty'
1) Sponsored by a Democrat, Trump will take credit for it 2) Doesn't undo the untold suffering of humans at the hands of this malicious bigoted president.
the irony, he's ok with keeping kids in cages tho.
Hate Trump, but this is one thing he did right in addition to allowing experimental drug trials to bypass the FDA. There. I gave the jerk some credit.
All of a sudden, liberals HATE animals!!
'A dog lies down in an undated stock photo.'
Is..... is he being advised to do nice things all of a sudden and is actually listening?
ggreenwald Alguma coisa de útil
ggreenwald That’s great ...Now due something about the mass killings of human beings.
That’s the best thing he’s done in his life
carney_meghan still hate trump?

Good, so maybe peta can finally get closed down. They kill more animals than any other organization 🤷🏼♂️
Does this mean we have to stop making fun of KellyannePolls ?
Well finally something he’s done I agree with
What about the ``MISSING`` $US 21 TRILLION, ABC News? For the FUTURE of our KIDS, GRAND KIDS & GREAT GRAND KIDS... WE NEEDS that BANKING CRISIS more than ever, ABC News!!! ABC News, you have mentioned NOTHING about the currently missing $US 21 TRILLION!!! XXxx

NHMommy1 And just like that President Trump got Democrats to hate animals
He also signed into law the right to import your exotic animal kill. DontBeFooled
He finally did something right.. now if he’d resign ...
Good. Many states its already a state felony with many prison years for first timers.
all your godly Obamas couldn't get it done
One of the few good things he’s done as POTUS! The list is Very Short!
He doesn't give a rats ass about animals. Its a stunt AND some offenders may only receive a fine. Big deal.
Shinny object!!! People and is helping
At least he did one thing right.
At last he’s done one good thing!
I was worried about felony over misdemeanor, but yes, the crimes described in the article are felony worthy. THAT'S A WIN FOR DOMESTIC PETS TODAY!
Haters will find a way to continue insulting the President😡😡
Surely this is a mistake. I thought orange man bad?
Did he even know what it said?
The only good thing he's done as president.
Hope that applies to ALL ANIMALS, even the ones that Trumps' sons like to hunt.
Where’s PETA response Praising Trump For this Great Law. Trump2020 He’s even got the Animal Vote Great Day For Conan too Great President
One item all can agree on is cruelty to any living creature is uncalled for. Thank you Mr. President.
Doesn't absolve him of his crimes against America and humanity LockHimUp TraitorsSupportTraitorTrump traitor-in-chief TraitorTrump DonTheCon ITMFA
Good. Now work on human cruelty. You can start with the US-Mexican border.
