On May 3, 2008 President Bush signed a bill into law that dogfighting, cockfighting, and other forms of animal fighting. The law, known as Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act, "provides felony penalties for interstate commerce, import and export related to animal fighting activities, including commerce in cockfighting weapons. It will make it much harder for criminals who engage in dogfighting and cockfighting to continue their operations. Each violation of the federal law may bring up to three years in jail and up to a $250,000 fine for perpetrators".
