Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2017<\/em>,\u00a0which will\u00a0prohibit the transport, sale, and possession of dogs or cats to be slaughtered for human consumption.<\/p>\n“This bill allows the United States to stand in unity with other countries that have made the dog and cat meat trade illegal, while also giving the United States greater standing to urge other countries to end this brutal and inhumane practice once and for all,\u201d said Hastings.<\/p>\n
This legislation was cosponsored by\u00a0Reps. Vern Buchanan (R-FL), Dave Trott (R-MI), and Brenden F. Boyle (D-PA).\u00a0And with the support of both parties, there is no excuse for Congress not to pass this lifesaving bill.<\/strong><\/p>\nPlease sign the petition urging Congress to enact the\u00a0Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2017<\/em>\u00a0at once. It\u2019s time for America to finally protect its companion animals from slaughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11946,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","petition_category":[32],"petition_topics":[31,70],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/petition\/5151"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/petition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/petition"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5151"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"petition_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/petition_category?post=5151"},{"taxonomy":"petition_topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/petition_topics?post=5151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
