U.S. Residents: Ask Congress to Re-Criminalize "Crush" Films

U.S. Residents: Ask Congress to Re-Criminalize "Crush" Films

The Issue

On April 20, the Supreme Court ruled that the "Crush Act," a 1999 federal law banning the creation, sale and possession of materials depicting genuine acts of animal cruelty, is unconstitutional and overbroad in its scope.

Fortunately, Representative Elton Gallegly has acted swiftly in introducing a new bill to re-criminalize these disgusting videos. Please sign below to ask your Representative to co-sponsor H.R. 5092. For more information, please visit:
