For the last two photos, she captioned:
"What an amazing meeting with @repkevinmccarthy and @repjeffdenham along with Marc, founder of @animalhopeandwellness and Sean from @consultingwildhorse This is for bipartisan bill HR1406 which both these gentlemen support. Mr. McCarthy has been such a help with this bill and his kindness is quite clear for all who encounter him personally. Mr. Denham signed on and is helping us with more signatures. This trip has been a success for us, the bill and for dogs and cats in this country. I believe that change starts in the home and this country is my home.... a home I'm extremely proud of. #hr1406 #cancerslayerindc"
The Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2018, was a bipartisan bill intended to outlaw the slaughter and trade of cats and dogs for meat in the United States. Although not enacted in its own right, a version of it was incorporated into the 2018 Farm Bill on December 11, 2018. The reconciled farm bill was signed into law on December 20, 2018.
The law prohibits the shipping, sale and transportation of dogs and cats for the "purpose of slaughter for human consumption", except for Native American tribes performing religious ceremonies.
