Pennsylvania bill would deny hunting licenses to those convicted of animal cruelty

A bill that would grant authority to the Pennsylvania Game Commission to deny or revoke a hunting or furtaking license from anyone convicted of animal cruelty has resurfaced in the state House. 
State Rep. Melissa Shusterman, D-Chester County, introduced House Bill 669, which has been referred to the Game and Fisheries Committee. In her co-sponsorship memo to legislators, Shusterman referred to the 2019 incident in Jefferson County where two Brookville-area teenagers filmed themselves torturing a wounded buck during the statewide firearms deer season.
