Now a person can face federal felony charges for crushing, burning, drowning, suffocating and impaling animals. They also can be jailed if convicted of sexually exploiting them. The accused will face federal felony charges, fines and up to seven years behind bars, CBS News reported. There are exceptions for hunting, CNN reported.
While all states have a law against animal cruelty, the PACT Act puts the crimes under federal jurisdictions. It allows prosecution if an incident happens on federal property, according to CNN.
