We have responsibility to ensure animals have a happy existence and are slaughtered in a humane way. There are barbaric things taking place on farms & in slaughterhouses. They are also selling horses to overseas slaughterhouses.
These animals are like children. They are incapable of protecting themselves and without a voice .
There needs to be serious laws & punishments passed. These are living creatures that God gave us to look after.
Please…. Look into this. It’s heartbreaking

Trump did expand animal abuse a Federal Crime under his last term.
" President Donald Trump signed a bill that makes animal cruelty a federal felony, saying the measure would help us be “more responsible and humane stewards of our planet.”
The PACT Act – which stands for Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture – was signed by the President at the White House, where he said he was “pleased” to approve the legislation."
However, it is my understanding that most legislation does not consider farm animals the same category. They are unfortunately considered products. I’m not sure about in the PACT Act. Will have to check.

Which States? I don’t think this is possible because cats and dogs are domestic animals and would be protected under federal law even if the State does not protect them. The PACT Act says federal jurisdication. So what constitutes federal jurisdiction and if it is not covered in the States then we need to absolutely include it as a federal ban.

Its still legal in 44 States … legislation needs to meet on a state level, City & County police claim their hands are tied when responding to these calls
Stop anthropomorphizing food and animal companions. The tendency to treat animals as if they possess human-like qualities or emotions has led to absurdly inconsistent and often incoherent laws. These legal contradictions arise from the misguided belief that some animals are “our children,” a view that reflects deeper psychological tendencies rather than a realistic understanding of nature. This mindset not only distorts our relationship with animals but also reveals a troubling human disconnect from the biological and ecological realities of the natural world. In truth, our societal approach to animals should be grounded in respect for their natural roles and behaviors, not in a projection of human characteristics.
There’s nothing humane about slaughtering anything.
Stop trying to control people and imposing your morals on other cultures.
Agree with you. I will 100 percent support a bill that makes it illegal.
Eating cats and dogs seems to be abuse of a domestic animal. Doesn’t that fall under that category? 44 States do not have legislation against abuse and neglect of domestic animals?
Appartently Trump also signed in the Farm Bill which makes it illegal on a Federal level with exceptions:
“The 2018 Farm Bill, which includes the Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act, bans the import, export, and slaughter of cats and dogs for human consumption. While this law makes it illegal to slaughter cats and dogs for food at the federal level, exceptions exist for certain indigenous religious or cultural practices.”
I dont think the founders gave the federal government any power over this. But I’m open to be proven wrong. Good thing it’s still protected under religion!
Please see the following.
Not interested gfhj. We disagree on many things. No need to follow me around putting thumbs down on my posts.
Good thing you dont control the public square!
But also you started it! Smh lol
Ohio just prosecuted someone for this under animal cruetly. But they only get one year in jail. I agree there should be an increase in penalty and the laws taking away any exceptions.
It’s completely reasonable to say that factory farms should treat animals as humanely as possible. We are entrusted to care for God’s creation; to use, not abuse. You cannot show reverence for His work without striving to treat it as humanely as we are able.
