Ironically, did you know that it is a federal felony on the ATTENDANCE of a dog or cock fight?
As part of the 2014 Farm Bill, Congress added the following provisions:
"The newly enacted Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, which was included in the final 2014 Farm Bill, makes it a federal felony to knowingly bring a minor under the age of 16 to a dogfight or cockfight, punishable by up to three years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and a federal misdemeanor to knowingly attend a fight as a spectator, punishable by up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine."
So, in addition to the 3 people arrested for hosting this event, why weren't the other 100 spectators arrested and charged under this federal rule? Were minors present??
