The ban on eating dogs and cats was recently blocked in the UK.
It might offend Asian migrants.
Summit News reported:
A legal ban on eating dogs and cats in the UK has been blocked over fears it might offend people from South-East Asian countries.
Yes, really.
After a bill was drawn up to make possession of dog or cat meat illegal in the UK, civil servants stepped in to halt the move.
Tory MP Giles Watling was later told that the main reason the Ministry of Justice blocked the bill was over fears it would be seen as “culturally insensitive” to dictate to other countries what they could eat, despite the fact that it would have no impact whatsoever on South-East Asian countries where dog and cat meat is consumed.
“Dogs are our companion animals. We do not eat them, and that is a very important message to send to the rest of the world,” said Watling
“It’s not culturally insensitive because we’re not telling them what to do – we’re just telling them what we do,” he added, noting that he was “surprised” by the MoJ’s objection.

The Koran is OK with slavery.
The UK has an obligation to strike out it’s laws against slavery. They might be offensive to Moslems.
People eat ducks, chickens, turkeys, geese, goats, pigs, sheep, cows, horses, rabbits, etc. Dog and cat are not to my taste, but I see no harm in other people eating them. In fact, my neighbor has half a dozen yappy hyperagressive schnausers that I would love to see eaten.
Cool! Dinnertime!
What did Honk Honkler say about all this?
Confucious say “young dog, old cat”.
Cats make good dog food
Uncivilization ALERT!
Hindus in India get murderous over people eating beef. Surely it’s not too much for Britain to merely fine people for consuming cat and dog meat.

The UK has submitted.
I’m offended by them but my feelings don’t count.
Wow.. How weak and spineless can the UK get?! Stand up for YOUR culture Not someone else ‘s SICK CULTURE!!
How about cannibalism? Is the ban on eating human flesh offensive to immigrants from New Guinea? (I know, it would be helpful in combating climate change).
The UK is done. The only thing left to do is for the one they leave alive to learn Arabic.
Nobama, The Greatest Fraud Ever, ate dogs...and liked it.
Cats in the Kettle is one of weird Al’s little known but funnier parodies.
