While on a business trip to the Philippines in the mid 70s I was forced by circumstances to eat a dog meal.

As “The Patriot” said, “Dog makes a fine meal.”

Thank you for referencing that article MarchonDC09122009. Please note that the following critique is directed at the referenced lawmakers and not at you.

”… would amend the federal Animal Welfare Act to ban the slaughter of dogs and cats for human consumption in the United States."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

The states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to make such a law. It’s up to the individual states to make such laws with their unique, 10th Amendment-protected powers.

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So this bill is an unthinking attempt to unconstitutionally expand the already unconstitutionally big federal government’s powers imo.

Corrections, insights welcome.

While in college, friends and I tried to create a machine that would translate dog barks.

When we thought we had it working, we got one of our dogs worked up and excited to get dinner such that it would bark a lot for the machine.

Over and over it came out - “Purina is house pet!”

No it isn’t. Congress has no authority on this issue, and what do you do when you HAVE to eat your animal to survive?

Well, that’s a relief. Certainly more comforting than protecting our borders and jailing 20,000 MS13 gang members.

They’re totally off the reservation. They don’t even bother making a pretense of sticking to stuff where they have Constitutional jurisdiction. If this needs regulating, it’s obviously a state matter, and evidently the state electorates aren’t all that worried about it, or it would already be illegal in a lot more states than it is.

This is the pressing need, the pressing issue congress had to address?

Empty gestures.

Yet Planned Murderhood can “legally” pay for body parts of the murdered child......think about that for a moment.

What if it is an emergency and you are starving? This law would not work well in Venezuela under the Chavistas.
