On December 9, President Barack Obama signed the Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act of 2010 into law. The new law prohibits the creation and distribution of so called “crush videos” and establishes penalties, inclusive of up to seven years in prison.
In April 2010, the United States Supreme Court struck down the original so called “Crush Act” due to a finding that its language to be overbroad and unconstitutional. The Court’s ruling did leave allow the Act to be rewritten and more narrowly tailored.
The new law has a narrower focus than the prior law, but still prohibits creating or distributing depictions of non-human animals being intentionally crushed, burned, drowned, suffocated, impaled, or otherwise subjected to serious bodily injury. The law exempts videos of hunting, trapping and fishing.
