Animal Welfare; Animal Fighting Venture Prohibition

The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 amended section 26 of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) by adding specific provisions regarding the sale, purchase, transportation, delivery, or receipt of live birds in commerce for participation in animal fighting ventures in States where the practice is permitted by law. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is publishing this notice in order to increase the public visibility of these additional AWA provisions regarding animal fighting venture prohibitions.
