    Sadly, the trafficking, slaughter, and consumption of dogs and cats persists in many foreign nations. The House voted today to protect dogs and cats around the world from slaughter. Thanks to @VernBuchanan & @RepHastingsFL for their leadership protecting these beloved animals.

        Big mistake getting sucked in by a hard left vegan anti-agriculture, reviled fake charity like HSUS. GOPs denounce them bitterly; Steve King, Jerry Moran, Gov Heineman, Scott Pruitt, Gov LePage. Ask NRA, Farm Bureau, Ringling, egg farmers. A hint of what you enabled. Very bad.pic.twitter.com/qKvibXwiFd

        No GOPs should be supporting HSUS bills. No matter how good they sound they're always a back door 2 our farmers, ranchers & all our valuable animal stewards. HSUS doesn't give a rip about dogs & cats, only about franchising politicians, especially Republicans. Not good at all.pic.twitter.com/NRcKB9Kzol

        What right do we have to tell other countries what to do? Would we allow India to tell us we should not be allowed to slaughter cows? I appreciate the sentiment towards the animals, but let’s keep our noses in our own business.

        That doesn’t make it right for us to impose our beliefs on other countries. I remember being mortified in college when I learned that dogs were eaten in the Philippines. I was likewise mortified when I saw on some PBS show that somewhere in Africa, monkeys were eaten.

        The moral relativism argument can be extended to anything: murder, torture, genocide. Sometimes their is just moral clarity. I would say the slaughtering of dogs and cats is just such an issue.

        Maybe so. I don’t see it, but I respect your opinion. Two among the saddest days of my life where when I lost my dogs - one when I was a child and one when I was raising my children.

        Good gracious Lord, I love my hound dog and my cats. But this has to rate at the bottom of any rational list of priorities for Congress. What about your constituents suffering from the healthcare mess? How about getting children reunited with their families? Gun violence?

        Absurd. Why not a bill PETA can't lure & steal pets off their porches & kill them? Wait..can't do that, Vern partied w/them during Trump's Inauguration. They "honored" him, so they're ok. Never mind HSUS killed Ringling--his constituents he should have valued. #RICO➡ $15.7M💰🚽pic.twitter.com/oy0ZAjxENC

        3/ Children in tent camps is reminiscent of the darkest chapters in history. We WILL repudiate this unspeakable cruelty at the polls this November 6th.

        2/ Federal shelters are overwhelmed, resources are stretched, and advocates warn of a looming crisis if the situation continues. The Trump administration also proposed holding many of these children indefinitely as they away immigration proceedings.

        Is THAT really what you are worried about and spending your time and our taxpayer dollars on??? Nearly 13,000 migrant children are being held in detention, according to documents obtained by the New York Times. That's is a fivefold increase since last year. 1/
