Ban Consumption Of Dogs & Cats in the UK

What the petition asks
It may seem extraordinary, but consuming dog meat is currently not illegal in the UK. Luckily, there is no evidence that dogs are eaten in the UK yet, but due to the vile way in which dogs are reportedly treated in Asia, Africa and many Dog and Cat Meat Consuming countries.
I would like our country to join in setting an example to the world and follow the US and Germany who have banned the consumption of dog and cat meat.
It has been reported that Ministers are unwilling to make this legal change because of cultural sensitivities. That is no reason not to make this change.
