Donald Trump has done more for dogs than any other president. Dog-loving democrats won’t give him any credit while crying about his tariffs on China, which tortures dogs, and cooks, skins, and eats them while they are still ALIVE.
In 2018, Trump signed the Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act as part of the 2018 Farm Bill, banning the slaughter, transport, sale, or purchase of dogs and cats for human consumption in the U.S., with fines up to $5,000 per violation. This law protects dogs from being used as food, though it allows exceptions for certain indigenous practices. WTH?!!!
Additionally, in 2019, Donald Trump signed the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act into law, making certain acts of animal cruelty a federal felony. The bill bans intentional acts like crushing, burning, drowning, suffocating, or impaling animals, including dogs, with penalties of up to seven years in prison. It also prohibits “animal crush videos” depicting such cruelty. The law strengthens federal prosecution of cross-state or jurisdictional cases, complementing state laws.

The exception for certain indigenous practices in the Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2018 means that specific cultural or traditional practices by Native American tribes or other indigenous groups in the U.S. may be exempt from the law’s restrictions. This allows these communities to continue practices involving the slaughter, transport, sale, or purchase of dogs or cats for human consumption, provided they are part of established cultural or ceremonial traditions. The law does not explicitly detail which practices or tribes qualify, leaving room for interpretation, likely determined on a case-by-case basis by legal or regulatory authorities. This balances protecting animal welfare with respecting indigenous cultural rights.
This must not be allowed in the USA! NO EXCEPTIONS!
