Criminalize the killing of dogs and cats for their meat and the consumption of said meat.
The issue
Dogs and cats are companion animals and working animals, not food. We are a first world country and cannot allow this kind of barbarity.
No law specifically authorises or prohibits the eating of cats or dogs. However, the killing of cats or dogs for such purpose may constitute an offence under Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979. Processing and selling cat or dog meat is prohibited under Food Act 2003. Contact the NSW Food Authority at http://www.foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/ for further information.
Please sign and share far and wide. Together we can make a difference.
