House bans eating of cats, dogs

Can't imagine eating them. However, in other places they do. This would also ban the export of cats and dogs to such places

That was an issue!?

I lived in a little town while stationed at Vandenberg AFB, Ca in 1974-75. We had a tremendous amount of Hmong, Cambodian and other Vietnamese boat-people refugees being relocated by the government to Lompoc and other small towns due to the collapse of South Vietnam. It wasn’t long before stray cats and dogs started disappearing. It took a while to figure out what was going on but the city and county government had a series of meetings with representatives of the refugees explaining that we don’t eat cats and dogs in America. It got so bad a local disc jockey wrote a little cartoon pamphlet entitled “101 Ways to Wok Your Dog.” I thought it pretty tasteless but it got the point across.
