Today in Hawaii it is legal to kill and eat dogs and cats. But, It is only legal to consume dog meat if it is the person’s own dog, and it has been killed in a “humane way”. It is illegal and a violation of animal control laws to steal someone else’s dog, or a stray. However, there is no law that specifically prohibits the sale, purchase, or distribution of dogs and cats for human consumption. There are cases in Hawaii where people have dogs that are kept in unclean pens, and subjected to cruelty before they are slaughtered and sold for food. In the last two attempts at legislature to stop this practice, the humane society didn’t defend the dogs.
