Is dog or cat meat legal in the united states?
https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120108223033AAWdzjf
The following countries openly sell dog meat
Switzerland(Personal use only)
China (There are laws now but not regularly enforced)
Vietnam
Philippines
Korea
India
New Zealand
Japan
Canada
Under Canada's Wildlife Act, it is illegal to sell meat from any wild species, but there is no law against selling and serving canine meat, including dogs, if it is killed and gutted in front of federal inspectors.
In 2003, health inspectors discovered four frozen canine carcasses in the freezer of a Chinese restaurant in Edmonton which, in the end, were found to be coyotes. The Edmonton health inspector said that it is not illegal to sell and eat the meat of dogs and other canines, as long as the meat has been inspected
USA
Several US states have banned the slaughter and consumption of dogs completely.
However there are numerous states in which dogs can be used for personal consumption provided they are killed in a humane way.All 50 states have banned the sale of dog meat to the general public and its use in public resturants,However those laws do not apply to American Indian reservations,Several of the Native American tribes still consume dog meat and it is still served in resturants on the reservations on a regualr basis..
Numerous states also have hunting seasons or open year round season on coyotes(north Americas wild dogs)in which they can be hunted in accordance with local laws and used for personal consumption...
-----------
1. What if (Indian) govt bans cow meat like the ban here (US) on cats/dogs?
2. What do they mean by 'killing in a humane' way?

In an related note there is a discussion on cow.

In nature, typically the hunter is a carnivore with eyes in front to charge at the prey (e.g. lion, wolf, eagle, owl etc) while the hunted is a herbivore with eyes on the side for peripheral vision to escape (e.g. deer, rabbit, dove, turkey etc). A carnivore for the most part doesn't eat another carnivore. Only certain hunters like man and shark tend to be omnivores, and no law will stop them from being what they are.

I am not so sure... Herbivores dont eat any carnivore, while carnovore does not eat any herBS. Dogs, cat, lions, tigers, fox, and cheetahs eat meat

Carnivore by definition is a flesh-eater.

Sure there are. My point is that no law will stop man from being who he is.
I remember reading a book from the CPA Foundation written by Nandita Krishna where she says that it was pure economics that made cow a holy animal hundreds of years ago because India only had cattle, not horses or camels, to serve as the beast of burden to help with transportation, ploughing the land etc in addition to giving milk. The most effective way of preventing the depletion of cattle in India was to make cows holy. It thus became a taboo to slaughter cows; no different from Americans who consider eating horses reprehensible.
