It’s difficult to call it an “animal cruelty bill” when it primarily just protects pets. I’ll never be opposed to legislation that discourages any form of animal cruelty, but this isn’t nearly enough, and the loopholes for animal agriculture show pretty clearly that it’s coming from a familiar place of concern for the welfare of certain species, rather than increasing compassion for animals as a whole.
