*[Enwl-eng] Switzerland lets people eat pet dogs and cats, even today

[ENWL]

                        Swiss lawmakers must prove they actually care about 
animals.









                        It's Still Legal to Eat Cats and Dogs in 
Switzerland. Sign the Petition to Ban This Practice, Now!

                        Slaughtering pet cats or dogs, and smoking their 
meat for dinner — this is still legal in the country of Switzerland. So far, 
Swiss legislators have banned butchers and restaurants from selling meat 
harvested from the dead bodies of dogs and cats. But private residents may 
still harm the family pet if they choose to, and then eat its remains. There 
aren't even any regulations about what manner of slaughter is permitted. Yet 
some people say there's no need ban this practice by asserting that dog- or 
cat-meat eating is "very rare." But that's just not a sufficient excuse. 
Rare or not, it's simply abhorrent to think about people butchering and 
eating our beloved companion animals! Animals' rights must be respected, 
now.



                        The majority of Swiss residents are opposed to 
eating dogs and cats. But since it's not illegal yet, that means some people 
can — and DO — feast on our furry family members. In fact, a Swiss newspaper 
recently published an article about the prevalence of cat and dog eating in 
the country, quoting from individuals who claim to eat these pets. One 
farmer actually described having a peer slaughter a dog for him, or clubbing 
a dog to death himself. Another insisted: "It's nothing exceptional [to eat 
pets] — meat is meat." Whether it's ten people eating our treasured furry 
friends, or 100 — it's simply too many. Sign the petition to tell lawmakers 
in Switzerland that they must ban people from eating dog and cat meat, now!
