The US House of Representatives approved a bill Tuesday aimed at preventing animal cruelty.
The bill, known as the “Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act” or the “PACT Act,” is particularly aimed at preventing and punishing animal crushing by making it illegal for people to crush animals. It is also makes it illegal for people to create animal crushing videos that will be distributed. Finally, it makes it illegal for people to knowingly distribute those videos. Anybody who is found guilty of doing any of these things “shall be fined under this title, imprisoned for not more than 7 years, or both.”
