UK Govt Blocks ‘Culturally Insensitive’ Ban on Cat and Dog Meat
Breitbart ^ | 23 Sep 2019 | JACK MONTGOMERY

The British government’s Ministry of Justice had blocked a “culturally insensitive” move to ban cat meat and dog meat, fearing it could offend people in Asian countries.

Cabinet Office chief Michael Gove drew up plans to outlaw the possession of cat and dog meat over the while he was still Secretary of State at the Department for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), according to reports.

However, the move is understood to have been blocked by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), currently headed by former solicitor-general Robert Buckland, after “nervous civil servants” suggested it was “culturally insensitive” and liable to cause offence in Asian countries where cat and dog meat consumption is more common.

Sorry, but human life is more important than dogs or cats.

Anyone who expects a gov’t that endorses abortion to protect pets is a special kind of stupid.

I find it highly insensitive to my culture that they won’t let me drive on the right side of the road.

I guess if it’s offensive to English culture then that’s okay.

Why stop at banning canned meat? They need to kill all their meat eating animals so as not to offend the muzzies.

If you do not use your power, then you lose your power.
UK now afraid to set and defend dietary standards, unless of course it’s against a native Brit. who is white or straight or, Christian or male or all the above. We shouldn’t gloat too loudly in the states, as America is not very far behind the same brand of lunacy and fatalism.

Sorry, though not actually sorry, isn’t it culturally insensitive to allow the possession, distribution, use, sale, of dog and cat as meat animals, in a country where dogs & cats are considered family pets? What about the sensitivity of the culture of the United Kingdom?

They are letting them eat their dogs and steal their tankers and won’t do anything about it. They hope to avoid conflict, I guess.
