This spring, while we celebrate renewal and second chances at Eastwood Ranch Foundation, there’s another reason for hope on the horizon: the potential passage of the Animal Cruelty Enforcement (ACE) Act in Congress. This bipartisan legislation could be a game-changer in the fight to protect animals from abuse and neglect across the country.
What Is the ACE Act?
The ACE Act proposes the creation of a dedicated Animal Cruelty Crimes Section within the U.S. Department of Justice. This team would be solely focused on investigating and prosecuting federal animal cruelty crimes, which are often overlooked or under-prioritized due to limited resources.
By establishing this section, the ACE Act would bring stronger enforcement to existing animal protection laws and ensure that cruelty doesn’t go unanswered, whether it involves pets, farm animals, or wildlife.
Why the ACE Act Matters-for Animals and for Us All
Animal cruelty isn’t just a tragedy on its own. It’s often a warning sign of deeper violence. Studies show a strong link between animal abuse and other serious crimes, including domestic violence, child abuse, and even organized crime.
While several federal animal protection laws already exist, they lack consistent enforcement. That’s where the ACE (Animal Cruelty Enforcement) Act comes in. This bipartisan bill would bring real resources and accountability to the table, ensuring that those who harm animals are held responsible. It’s a powerful common-sense step toward a more compassionate and safer, society.
