HCONRES 112 United States House · 117th Congress

Urging the administration to initiate the International Agreement to Prohibit the Eating of Dogs and Cats.

This non-binding resolution urges the U.S. administration to begin international negotiations for a global agreement prohibiting the consumption of dog and cat meat. It references the 2018 U.S. law banning domestic trade of such meat and cites concerns about animal welfare, including reports of cruelty and the annual deaths of millions of animals. The resolution calls on all nations to join this agreement and affirms U.S. support for advancing animal welfare worldwide. It does not create new laws but requests diplomatic action from the executive branch.
