Plain-English Summary

This bill would create a dedicated FBI taskforce to investigate and prosecute animal cruelty crimes across state lines. The new unit would help law enforcement agencies coordinate on cases involving serious animal abuse, fighting rings, and trafficking, giving federal authorities more resources to pursue these crimes. Animal welfare advocates and law enforcement agencies would benefit from having specialized federal investigators focused on these cases.
