Isn’t this something for states to decide?

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?
