A bill for an act relating to animal torture, and providing penalties.

This bill changes the definition of animal torture to include intentionally crushing, burning, drowning, suffocating, or impaling an animal, or causing serious injury or death to an animal. If passed, committing animal torture would become a Class D felony, a more serious crime than the current aggravated misdemeanor. A person with prior convictions for animal abuse or related offenses would face an even higher charge of a Class C felony.
