Closed Make it a criminal offence to consume cat or dog meat in the UK

Closed on

We would like the Government to lead by example and make it a criminal offence for anyone in the UK to consume cat or dog meat.

We think it’s disgusting that it is not a criminal offence to consume cat or dog meat. It is illegal to sell the meat but to permit cat or dog meat to be consumed is disgraceful. We believe current legislation in this area is outdated and doesn’t represent the UK in anyway.
