Excuse me, but why is it us Americans - in our own country - that always have to be the tolerant ones?
We have our own culture too, and it doesn't include the practice of eating pets.
IMHO, if you want to be able to eat anything with a horizontal backbone, then stay where that's still part of the culture.

Why don't we start eating Chimps,Dolphins and Boas while we are at it. If its meat eat it, why not.
What we need is a restaurant? that serves up dogs and cats. We will call it "the Happy Puppy" and just like at Red Lobster, your kids will be able to pick a puppy out of a pen to slap on the grill.

I think this bill is for the people who are stealing peoples pets. You have your dog in a fenced in area, someone comes along, steals it, eats it.

health related ..dog should be regulated like beef or lamb.... Lambs are cuter than dogs and make good pets too...should we stop eating lamb...maybe we should only eat ugly animals?

and both can be rather tasty ...why not eat them? I'd avocate feeding the strays destroyed at pounds to the homeless. Meat is meat .

Apathy at its highest level, kinda sad :shk:
So basically you don't care about the well being of others?
You're taking personal preference and trying to legislate it, ludicrous!
one, two, three, four, five...hmm, ok ive done as you asked and thought about it...there is still no reason why a democratic culture cant decide this behaivior is not for them and take steps to prevent its occurance. This is basic sociology at work here.
Think for five seconds, about this cherished America, before you go running your mouths 'in defense' of it.
Indeed THEY DO! The citizens can and SHOULD tell their legislators what laws and beaiviors they expect the government to enact or reject...this is exactly as the founding founders envisioned...participation BY THE PEOPLE!
There have been a few people on this thread acting like they dictate the laws in America
Just because you find the practice of eating dog offensive, doesn't mean you get to tell other people what they can or cannot eat.
