A concurrent resolution urging all countries to outlaw the dog and cat meat trade and to enforce existing laws against such trade.
Summary
This concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress that all nations should prohibit the trade and consumption of dog and cat meat. It calls on foreign governments to adopt new legislation or strictly enforce existing animal welfare laws to end these practices globally. Because this is a non-binding resolution rather than a law, it does not change U.S. domestic policy or create new legal requirements for American citizens; instead, it serves as an official statement of U.S. diplomatic policy and humanitarian values on the international stage.
