So.

The Senate unanimously passed the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act, which criminalizes certain acts of animal cruelty.



"Passing this legislation is a major victory in the effort to stop animal cruelty and make our communities safer," said Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who sponsored the bill in the Senate along with Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. "Evidence shows that the deranged individuals who harm animals often move on to committing acts of violence against people. It is appropriate that the federal government have strong animal cruelty laws and penalties."

Animal cruelty is inhumane and needs to be stopped. I applaud the Senate for their unanimous vote.

I have to go one step further here though. From the part I bolded. Read it.

"Evidence shows that the deranged individuals who harm animals often move on to committing acts of violence against people.

I am sorry Senator Blumenthal, we already have individuals in the WH and the Department of Homeland Security that are deranged and committing acts of violence to human children. They are locked in cages without their mommies. They are denied soap and toothbrush for days sitting in feces filled diapers. They are told to drink out of toilets and sleep on a cement floor with a metal blanket for warmth.

Where is the unanimous bill to end the cruelty against them? Where is the bill to end their torture as the human beings they are. Where is the humanity for them?




Terrified children are heard crying for their parents after being separated by border patrol agents in heartbreaking audio. The clip, released to ProPublica, gives insight into the distress migrant children are in as they are detained. The Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" immigration policy has come under criticism from politicians on both sides of the aisle. InsideEdition.com's Mara Montalbano (https://twitter.com/MaraMontalbano) has more.

sheshe2, nothing has been done about those detention camps in our country, I have an idea reserve those cages for the real felons Miller and tRump and the rest of the thugs.

These atrocities need to be stopped, Putin must be so ecstatic.

Bring the children home and incarcerate the trump administration and all that have enabled him and lock them away for life in a cage.

Thanks, bdamomma.
