41. This is a very narrow bill. It applies to animal crushing videos and that's it.

I didn’t even know those were a thing, but apparently there’s a sick segment of society that gets off on seeing animals crushed underfoot or in other ways. Sick.

The title of the bill makes it sound like it is a law that covers all forms of animal cruelty. It most certainly does not. Don’t allow the feel-good title to lull you to sleep about animal cruelty. We have a long way to go to protect animals.

The text of the bill is quite brief. Read it here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/724/text

Great. Mr.Bill Nov 2019 #1
