Due to decades of inaction by liberals and conservatives alike, “animal crush videos” depicting live animals being crushed, burned alive, drowned, suffocated and mercilessly impaled to watch them squirm and struggle until they die, those committing these acts of violence as well as those filming these horrible acts for sale and/or distribution are still not prosecuted under federal law. The PACT Act (Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act) would make it a federal crime to engage in any acts related to ‘animal crushing’.
However, do not count on any federal measures being passed by liberals or conservatives in the U.S. Congress since these horrific, immoral acts have been going on for decades…so basically no one really cares.
For example, if liberals and conservatives in Congress were really concerned about protecting the public’s children in schools from acts of terror and gun violence, legislators, and local governments as well, would have sought to harden soft targets everywhere in America, just like you see already done at every courthouse in every state. However, do not be fooled. Government officials do not really care. They seem to instead prefer grandstanding about terror and gun violence issues without ever doing anything to really and truly once and for all solve issues of terror on our streets and in our communities.
These same legislators, in many countries around the world, could be sent to jail when similar acts of terror are committed in their districts and communities. Critics charge, in America, fear of real consequences by politicians could conceivably possibly help solve acts of terror that happen in the congressional districts of liberals and conservatives.
By getting rid of corrupt and/or do-nothing politicians on a systematic basis, this way voters could regularly start all over with a clean slate of newly elected government officials that may actually now have the resolve to do something to solve problems of violence in our communities; by doing what voters pay them to do when they vote for them and send them into the government. Fear of consequences would virtually force politicians to work together in local, state and federal legislatures to get things done, if for nothing else out of fear of possible consequences, rather than just continue the current status quo, which, for the most part, politicians are only working to deceive, ‘crookin’ the voters to get re-elected every few years. Critics charge, term limits for all legislators would solve many of these problems.
