    The LINK-Letter Vol. 8, No. 7 July, 2015 A monthly report of news from THE NATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER f ON THE LINK BETWEEN ANIMAL ABUSE AND HUMAN VIOLENCE www.nationallinkcoalition.org SUBSCRIBE – It’s Free!! Phil Arkow, Coordinator and Editor THE LINK AND… CRIMINAL JUSTICE Groundbreaking Federal Anti-Cruelty Bill Introduced A potentially groundbreaking federal bill that would empower the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Attorneys to prosecute animal abuse cases that cross state lines has been introduced into Congress in a rare bipartisan effort. HR 2293 – the PACT Act (Prevent Animal Cruelty and Torture) would close serious gaps in existing federal law. Currently, federal laws prohibit animal fighting and trade in obscene “crush” videos. But there has never been a national law prohibiting malicious cruelty to animals, such as exists in all 50 states. The PACT Act would close this gap and provide an additional tool for law enforcement when malicious cruelty occurs on federal property or in interstate commerce. The Act would give federal prosecutors the power to intervene when animal cruelty extends beyond the reach, ability, or will of state prosecutors to stop it. HR 2293 follows other recent activity on the federal level. Within the past year, the FBI agreed to include cases of animal abuse in the Uniform Crime Reports used by thousands of local law enforcement agencies, giving the animal protection and law enforcement fields the first statistical data of animal cruelty crimes and prosecution outcomes. Another bipartisan bill, HR 1258 – the PAWS Act (Pets And Women’s Safety) – would extend pet protection orders to domestic violence and stalking cases that cross interstate lines and provide federal dollars to help domestic violence shelters to become pet-friendly.
