The following is a report from Gateway Hispanic.
The Chilean Congress has passed a law to protect the rights of domestic animals. It criminalizes the slaughter, distribution, and commercialization of the meat of pets and companion animals.
The Chilean congressman José Carlos Meza authored the bill.
