Cats and Dogs: Meat
(asked on 11th March 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking, if any, to prohibit the human consumption of dog and cat meat in the UK.
This question was answered on 25th March 2019
As the Prime Minister previously said, it is illegal to sell dog and cat meat and there are no abattoirs with a licence to slaughter these animals in the UK.
The Government recognises both the symbolic and substantive nature of the issues raised, and is exploring what else can be done to send a clear signal that consumption of cats and dogs will never be tolerated.
