Yesterday the United States House of Representatives overwhelmingly, and with bi-partisan support, passed a major piece of animal welfare legislation, H.R. 724, Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act. This legislation has been called a “federal animal cruelty” bill. It goes further in making that a reality, by expanding the reach of the Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act of 2010 and closing a loophole in that legislation to criminalize the intentional act of animal crushing. That term is defined to include the most egregious abuse of “non-human mammals, birds, reptiles, or amphibians is purposely crushed, burned, drowned, suffocated, impaled, or otherwise subjected to serious bodily injury” [Section f(1) of the Act].

The House of Representatives debated the bill on Oct. 22, 2019. The full text is here and worth the read. The Senate already has introduced the bill, S. 479, and in previous sessions has passed versions of the bill unanimously. Based on this, there is some cause for optimism that the PACT Act will become law. Attorneys for Animals supports both bills.

Some of the US representatives who spoke in favor of the bill said:

...the PACT Act would allow for charges to be brought 
against a puppy mill operator who is drowning unwanted animals if he is 
engaged in interstate activity. It would take strides to protect our 
overall communities from violent crime.
--Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), chair of the Congressional Animal Welfare Caucus 

"... of all the divisive issues here in Washington, the PACT Act is  one on which we can all agree, 
we must make animal abuse a Federal  crime. This bill has received so much bipartisan support, 
because  Americans care about animal welfare. We form deep relationships with  our companion animals
and are rightfully outraged by cases of animal abuse."    
--Rep. Ted Deutsh (D-FL), bill sponsor 

  "We need to stand up for the  rights of animals and stand up against animal cruelty."  
--Rep. Haley Stevens (MI)
