Animal lovers in Hawaii packed a legislative hearing room Thursday with poodles and pugs, asking lawmakers to ban the practice of eating cats and dogs in the state.
The House Committee on Agriculture later advanced SB 2026, a bill to ban the practice.
The Humane Society of the United States says dog slaughter for human consumption is happening across Hawaii. The group receives at least two reports a year of dogs or cats being slaughtered for food, but it says it’s hard for law enforcement to catch animal slaughterers.
“When we do get these reports of cases of dog or cat slaughter, unless they’re caught in the act, law enforcement is not able to really prosecute,” said Inga Gibson, Hawaii senior state director for the Humane Society, which pushed for the bill.
Eating meat from cats and dogs is considered acceptable in other countries, including parts of Asia.

Thanks for the ping!
CrazyIvan for the thread win!!!
If there was another animal that you could make bacon, sausage, pork chops, pork loin, pork tenderloin, ham, shanks, etc etc etc from...we’d eat that too. And if it put on weight as fast or faster than pigs, which few animals do...we might eat that instead
Hummmmm? Hawaii... 
wants to ban eating cats and dogs?
Well, logically Obama will issue an executive order to stop them from banning eating dogs but we must fight this illogical ban on eating cats! They are...

People wonder why Michael Vick was treated so harshly and had his freedom taken away for abusing dogs. He violated a sacred human canine bond.
His homeboys ratted on him. The government threw him in jail. Every citizen hated his guts.
The ironic thing is that the dog is the only one who would forgive him And be happy to see him and love him anyway unconditionally.
But you have to have a sense of humor about this. The government will get my Labrador Parmesan when they pry it out of my cold dead hands. :-)
Since Communist Dictator Obama ate dog when just a lad, will he now use his pen to veto, or his phone to call Holder’s Gestapo to stop this anti-pet surge in Hawaii?
