Got me curious about consumption of cat meat. https://www.wrdw.com/content/news/President-Trump-Signs-the-... Federal act signed in 2018 banning consumption of dog and cat meat. Was previously legal in 44 states.

Wouldn't it still be legal in 44 states?

There's a federal ban on marijuana but it's legal in many states.

Those states won’t themselves prosecute you for consuming cat (or cannabis), but that doesn’t mean the act of consumption is legal.

Is there a reason? Like disease or something? Weird.
