The FIGHT Act of 2025 amends the Animal Welfare Act to strengthen protections for roosters and combat animal fighting. It makes it unlawful to sponsor, exhibit, attend, or gamble on animal fighting ventures. The bill also prohibits the use of the Postal Service or other interstate instrumentality to transport roosters. It allows for civil citizen suits and seizure of property used in violations. The Attorney General can intervene in such suits, and courts can award attorney's fees. The Act ensures state laws are not superseded unless there is a direct conflict.
