It might just have a little giant loophole:
Scope.—Subsection (a) shall apply only with respect to conduct—
(1) in interstate commerce or foreign commerce; or
(2) within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States
That would seem maybe to allow private consumption which is outside the purrview of interstate commerce.
So, it still is legal, unless regulated by local legislation, to feast on Fluffy. Maybe China's ahead of the curve, not stuck in the 15th century.
Thanks for helping me learn something today. I did not expect to find that when a friend asks if it is okay to bring their dog to my home for dinner that they might be offering the entrée.

So, where have you seen dogs and cats gutted and hung up in open market in United States?
I wouldn’t want to be breaking law in China. You might come up missing. Like the billionaire that said something degrading about the superior leader.
I would Imagine this fine country had to enact law from ancestry traditions??? Beside’s I’ve never see dog meat for sale. But I’ve never shopped open markets in ancestral areas of few big cities.
Now if person really hungry which probably 95% here have never experienced ( and I don’t mean hungry cause I missed lunch) probably be surprised what they could eat. It’s just not China that gutting selling in open markets, eating dogs and cats.
