Proposed Bill Could Give Sacramento’s Animal Cruelty Task Force More Teeth

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – A bipartisan bill aimed at cracking down on animal abusers has been introduced to Congress and would make animal cruelty a felony nationwide. It would also close a loophole in federal law that bans videos showing animal cruelty.
If convicted, animal abusers could face up to seven years in prison under the proposed law.
The bill already has support from the Humane Society and the National Sheriff’s Association.
