"Callous cruelty towards animals is abhorrent, and it's time for the punishment to reflect the seriousness of the crime," U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., said of the action. "I'm glad to see this bipartisan legislation signed into law so that those who needlessly harm animals are held accountable."
"This new law is vital not only to help prevent the horrific crime of animal torture, but also because such cruelty against animals can often be a precursor to violent crimes against humans," U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., added. "I'm grateful to my colleagues from both parties, and the president, for coming together to support this landmark measure."
