New Jersey Assembly Bill 2380, “Brianna’s Law,” would amend the state animal cruelty code to provide for criminal penalties of up to $10,000 for slaughtering or transporting for slaughter a pregnant cow. The bill is named “in honor of the pregnant cow that gave birth to her calf two days after escaping a truck transporting her to a slaughterhouse and being found trotting down Route 80 on December 27, 2018.” The bill has been referred to the Assembly Committee on Agriculture.
