Animal Cruelty Act

The Animal Cruelty Act is a law designed to prevent harm and suffering to animals. It sets legal standards for how animals should be treated, prohibiting abuse, neglect, and cruelty. The law defines offenses such as beating, neglecting basic needs, or intentionally causing pain to animals. It also establishes penalties for those found guilty, which can include fines, jail time, or bans from owning animals. The goal is to ensure animals are treated humanely and that cruelty is recognized and punished appropriately under the law.
