It is illegal to create, sell or distribute an 'animal crushing' video. Current law still leaves the actions themselves legal.

Maybe Trump will do something meaningful

Trump drags every supporter down his dark, dirty hole

I'm surprised they're even covering this or talking about trump in a semi positive light...

This guy Donnie needs to be stopped 😡 ughh we need BarackObama uggghhh

Those animals will have to dig up dirt on Biden now

I thought he alreaady did? Absolutely should be a law and should track these sickos

GOOD

Ironic. Donnie, Jr. Slaughters Lions, Giraffes & who knows what else.

Finally. These awful videos should have been banned years ago.

This is absolutely disgusting. These are God’s creatures and it’s our responsibility to treat them kindly

Good job realDonaldTrump

Our country have to adopt the legislation to strengthen the police authorities. Why will Trump endorse it?

Thank you my handsome president.

Wow

Don't be deceived, Trump doesn't care about people, much less animals.

Get one thing right Trump. Sign it.

A lot too late...

WTAF? What kind of sickos are involved with those kinds of videos? 🤬

I’m glad the meat industry will still be able to run concentrated feeding ops! Only way to have cheap meat is to torture animals with confinement :) does this law ban me from hunting strays with a bow?

This might be the only thing he gets right.

there's still a lot of work to do in the world, people. let's get on it!

Wake up - this is not the good deed it looks like. This is to prevent people from posting videos of the horrific conditions and abuses at many animal feeding lots (aka CAFOs). It keeps the actual abuses hidden and legal. 😥

'conduct in which one or more living non-human mammals, ... is purposely crushed, burned, drowned, suffocated, *impaled*, or otherwise subjected to serious bodily injury.' -- I wonder if a hunter posts a video of bow hunting deer would count?

Hopefully no one goes to jail for hitting a dog or cat with a car. I realize it is phrased 'purposefully,' but I bet a case involving a car will come quickly. Proof of intent is going to weigh heavily. Imagine if hitting a dog with a car was equivalent to hitting a person.

This one really surprised me. Trump doing something good for once.. damn..

But he won't get McConnell to get a gun control bill onto the Senate floor for a vote.

This getting through tells you everything you need you know about how white america views POC versus how they view animals.

Wow, something good he's doing.

What about 'puppies crushing it' Cuz, pretty sure that's what's happening in this vid

Watch him fruge that up 2

On the other hand, Trump revels in people 'dying like a dog.' Endorsing this bill is for his ego, not morality.

Interesting. realDonaldTrump would have vetoed the bill if it was prevention of cruelty to immigrant children.

Good Trump

Wish Trump would sign a bill making it a crime to mistreat 5000 detained children too.

so...does that means that PETA will be dismantled?

Good news!!

For once Trump might actually put his signature on a bill that totally makes sense. Now....how 'bout those migrant kids who are still behind caged doors as well....?

wth is animal crushing

Well that's only because he finally sees the benefit of a lapdog. MoscowMitch LyinLittleLindsey

He’s finally going to do something good. It’s a miracle.

But putting kids in cages is still legal, right?

Holy hannah

Finally, an action from trump I can agree with.

I suggest we track these 'people' down and summarily execute them for this crap!

Please!!!!

Thanks Mr president for looking out for our dogs and pets by making animal cruelty a fed crime!!

If he signs it, I'll give him credit for doing One Thing Right.

Holy shit, Congress passed a bill!

Does that include the videos that EXPOSE abuse on farms etc?

NPR Choice pageTrump fired his ass (John Bolton). What else is he doing that will conceivably enhance his image than this? Poor Dems. Their candidates are falling apart. No one able to beat Trump and they continue to spin their wheels, doing nothing to help DACA recipients, homeless, trade battles, cyber security, nothing at all. Nothing to run on.
