Trump turns animal torture into federal crime in the United States
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, signed a bill that makes acts of animal cruelty and torture a federal crime. He said it is important to fight acts of cruelty, robberies and sadists.
This law prohibits extreme acts of cruelty that occur in federal commerce or property, this legislation is an extension to the law of 2010, where the underlying conduct was not prohibited, but with this proposal it would become a federal crime.

We recommend: Up to 9 years in jail for those who mistreat animals or use them for cosmetic purposes, says Monreal
Holly Gana, of the Animal Wellness Foundation, said the legislation "will better protect some of the most vulnerable among us."
“The approval of this legislation is a great victory in the effort to stop animal cruelty and make our communities safer. Evidence shows that upset people who mistreat animals often go on to commit acts of violence against people. It is appropriate for the federal government to have strong laws and sanctions against animal cruelty, ”said Senator Pat Toomey, a Republican in Pennsylvania earlier this month.
