What it does
The FIGHT Act of 2025 amends the Animal Welfare Act to strengthen protections against animal fighting by defining a rooster as any male chicken over six months old and explicitly prohibiting gambling on animal fighting ventures, including in-person or broadcast events. It expands enforcement by allowing civil citizen suits with fines up to $5,000 per violation, requiring 60-day notice to authorities before filing, and authorizing seizure of real property used to facilitate animal fighting. The bill also clarifies that it does not override stricter state or local animal fighting laws unless there is a direct conflict.
