Crack Down on Spectators at Animal Fights

Over the past decade, Congress has strengthened the penalties for and closed major loopholes in the federal animal fighting law, yet there is a remaining gap in the law that should be corrected to allow for a more comprehensive crackdown on this barbaric activity. Representatives Tom Marino (R-PA) and Betty Sutton (D-OH) have introduced H.R. 2492 to prohibit knowing attendance at an animal fighting event and bringing a minor to such an event.

Visit the Humane Society of America's website for information about contacting your legislators and letting them how your feel about H.R. 2492. Also, visit change.org to sign a petition in support of H.R. 2492.
