Bill overview
This bill aims to prevent the U.S. government from using taxpayer money to buy dogs and cats from wet markets in China. It defines a ‘wet market’ as a place where animals are sold and slaughtered without the same health regulations as those in the United States. The bill specifically prohibits the purchase of live animals, animal carcasses, or any animal-derived products from these markets using federal funds. This action is intended to address animal welfare concerns and ensure adherence to U.S. health standards.
