Animal Welfare Act advances to House for dog and cock fighting ban
Congressman Joseph P. Vigorito announced the Agriculture Committee approved the Animal Welfare Act of 1950 prohibiting dog and cock fighting and interstate promotion. The bill aims to close a humane transit gap by regulating fighting events and provides penalties up to 5000 dollars and one year in prison, plus civil penalties. It also addresses live-fayage prohibitions and humane treatment during transport. The measure follows committee hearings on widespread fighting and betting in several states.
