Wow!!!I wasn't aware that so many people eat their cats and dogs that a law was needed to stop them.
They must be very hungry.....maybe the law makers should make a law (instead) that makes it illegal to be hungry....that would solve their "problem".
I didn't know this was an issue in the US. Must be some weird fetish. It certainly isn't due to a lack of food. We are now the most wasteful country in the world in that regard. Americans throw away over 40% of their food.
It’s a cultural thing and while I would never do it (ok, I *might* if I was visiting a country where this is normal), I don’t really have a issue with eating them if they are treated humanely beforehand- I have this standard for all meats which is why I won’t eat meat from the industrial meat supply. Meat is meat and all animals are cute, furry, have big sweet eyes, and some are quite intelligent (like pigs). People in some places think we are barbaric for eating cows. I imagine the only people eating dogs or cats in this country are immigrants.
In most (perhaps all) places that eat dogs, they are tortured before they're cooked, skinned alive, beaten to make the meat more tender, set on fire alive, have their legs cut off so they can't move. They are also kept in heartbreakingly cruel conditions prior to that.
It needs to be stopped and outlawed. There is plenty of other meat to eat.
While I am horrified at the thought of eating what I consider a "pet", is it really any different than what is done to cows, pigs or chickens for meat? There's a lot of inhumane factory farming going on out there.
But I didn't know this was an issue in the US, or happening so often we need a law for it

Of course it's a "cultural" thing. It should be no surprise that people from countries where this is the norm think they can do the same thing here.
Baloney. We do not eat domestic animals in this country.
