The proposed legislation establishes an Animal Cruelty Crimes Taskforce within the Federal Bureau of Investigation, specifically tasked with investigating and enforcing federal laws that prohibit animal cruelty. This includes offenses such as dogfighting, cockfighting, and the creation of crush videos, falling under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice. In addition to its enforcement duties, the Taskforce will develop and provide training materials for local law enforcement agencies to improve their capacity for investigating and detecting these specific criminal offenses. It is also required to coordinate its activities with various federal entities, including the Department of Agriculture, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Marshals Service, to ensure a unified approach. Finally, the bill mandates that the Taskforce submit an annual report to Congress , detailing the number of charges filed, convictions secured, and investigations conducted for animal cruelty violations, disaggregated by the specific law violated and the state where the incident occurred.
