President Signs Bill to End Cruel "Crush" Videos By an overwhelming bipartisan vote (372-42) the US House of Representatives passed HR 1887 on October 19th. The bill, introduced by Congressman Elton Gallegly (R, CA), bans the creation, sale and possession with intent to sell, of animal crushing or stomping films. Arizona Senator Jon Kyl and New Hampshire Senator Robert Smith succeeded in passing the bill unanimously in the Senate on November 19th. On December 9, President Clinton signed the bill into law. These animal crushing videos, which sell worldwide for as much as $100 each, inexplicably appeal to some foot fetishists who want to see animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, or monkeys, tortured and then stomped to death by women in high-heeled shoes.
