Animal-welfare group working to ban kittens from tables

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Dec. 8, 2016

Ever wanted to sink your teeth into Fido? Then you might have a bone to pick with Social Compassion in Legislation, an animal-welfare group that's lobbying to prohibit the consumption of dog and cat meat.

The California-based group has hired government relations firm PACE LLP. Lobbyists assigned to the case are PACE associates Lauren Wilson and Devin Rhinerson, a former aide to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).

While selling dog and cat meat is illegal, 44 states do not have laws against the animals' consumption.
