I read in Wikipedia that it's illegal in California to possess and sell companion animal meat (uh, pigs can be companion animals??) but what is the legality of eating dog meat in other states? Just to be clear, I have no desire to eat or sell dog meat!! I think eating dogs is gross but I am just a bit curious about what exactly the legality is..
Say my beloved dog got hit by a car and he died. If I say, oh well, shame to let the meat go to waste and barbequed it.. could I be arrested and what would be the punishment? There was no cruelty involved. The dogs death was completely accidental and witnesses can testify that the dog's death was accidental.
