It took 10 months to pass this.

tl;dr don't crush animals or film crushing animals unless it's for one of these 10 exceptions.

Alternate ending:

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE MADE ANIMAL CRUELTY FEDERALLY ILLEGAL?! HITLER.

I think we can all agree this is a good thing. Hardly political, too. This bill is just common sense.

Oh, but that's just it. This law will be disproportionately used to penalize people of color.

100% of the people who will be arrested for this are bad people, regardless of what color they are.

True, the cruelty that would have been used on animals will now be directed at minorities.

Good

That fucker near me that dragged a cat with his truck should have gotten the book thrown at him, so hopefully people will think twice about this shit now

However, cruelty to animals is often a symptom of deeper psychological issues, so we really should be focusing on a better mental health system

why do we feel this merits a good job to trump? he wasn't involved in the bill's production or any of the groundwork for it

it passed the senate and house unanimously by voice vote

if he vetoed it they could override his veto

10 fucking months.

You know how people here joke about having 300 word papers due in one year, how are they ever gonna finish?

Congress just did that for real

If Trump loves animals so much, why does he defend trophy hunting and oppose protection for endangered species? This is just another pathetic publicity stunt for his administration.

Where in the constitution is congress empowered to legislate this? I see a specific mention of interstate commerce, yes, but who the hell buys these videos?

Also note that section 2(f)(1) specifically excludes humans. That's... odd.

While looking for that, I found US v. Stevens, concerning "animal crush". I wonder what makes this law different.

a fucked up sense of justice imo. i'm all for hunting but it's a waste if you don't use the parts that includes the pelt and especially the meat. should protect the endangered species. sucked we lost the rhino.

According to this law only mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians are considered animals.

Its funny because this topic shows just how low Trump has set the bar for himself. This shit is embarrassing as a nation.

Trump signed a piece of paper that other people drafted, agreed upon, and signed. Thats it. The bill itself is a nonpartisan no-brainer.

Trump didnt earn any praise here. At BEST hes earned a hey, you didnt fuck this up. People dont deserve praise for doing mundane tasks involved with their job.

Also before the red-hat deflections come in I just want to add I fully support the bill.
