Animal cruelty has officially become a federal felony after President Donald Trump signed the bill into law on Monday afternoon.
"Passing this legislation is a major victory in the effort to stop animal cruelty and make our communities safer," Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., said earlier this month when the bill, which Toomey sponsored along with Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., passed in the Senate."Evidence shows that the deranged individuals who harm animals often move on to committing acts of violence against people.

The historic law was also praised by the president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, Kitty Block, and the head of the Humane Society Legislative Fund, Sara Amundson.
