The House has passed legislation that would outlaw the slaughter of dogs and cats for food – a practice that, although rare, is still legal in 44 states.

So, why do we need this law? We want to have a federal law to prohibit something that rarely happens? Forty-four states haven’t found it enough of a problem to legally prohibit the practice, why is it so necessary for the feds to get involved.

Doesn’t this law need a statement like ‘may not be transported across state lines for human consumption’ to fit within the limits of the constitution?

Next, birds and other animals will be banned from being eaten. Unfortunately, there are pet pigs and pet cattle.

This is a large jump toward banning more commonly eaten animals and animals also seldom eaten (snake, alligator, etc.).

We should not ascribe rights or special protections to animals that can be pets, period. I believe beef is still available in India, so we are trying to “out India” India?
