New Delhi. Presidential elections are to be held in the US in November this year. Former President Donald Trump is facing the challenge of current Vice President Kamala Harris. As per the tradition of American elections, the presidential candidates of both the Republican and Democratic parties become a part of the presidential debate before the election. Before this election, when Kamala Harris and Donald Trump came out for the debate, an issue became a topic of discussion, which no one would have expected. Trump dragged a video that went viral a year ago in the US state of Ohio into the presidential debate.
Actually, about a year ago, a video surfaced in Ohio, in which it was claimed that the people of Caribbean origin living there are killing and eating dogs and cats. However, such things were only at the level of rumors. It could not be confirmed. Donald Trump made it an issue in the presidential debate with Kamala Harris and made it a national issue in America. It is natural to have this question in mind that what did Trump achieve by raising the issue of killing and eating dogs and cats. Let us tell you about it.
Trump won the hearts of 60 percent of the population
When this video of Ohio went viral, the issue of white vs black in America also became hot. There was a lot of anger among the local population of America regarding the alleged incident of killing and eating dogs and cats. A lot of campaigns were also run on social media regarding this. Trump capitalized on this issue in the US presidential debate. Trump has been doing the politics of white people since the beginning. By capitalizing on this issue, Trump tried to bring about 60 percent of the white people in America to his side. To a large extent, he was also successful in this. On this issue, Kamala Harris was seen lagging behind Trump.

Kamala Harris won even after losing
Even though Donald Trump may have been seen to be stronger on the issue of killing and eating dogs and cats, Kamala Harris still won even after losing. This is because Kamala Harris is of Indian origin. After Trump wooed white people, it is natural for blacks and people who have migrated to America from other countries to be inclined towards Kamala Harris. In such a situation, it would be wrong to say that Kamala Harris has lagged far behind Trump due to the dog-cat controversy.
Is it allowed to eat dogs and cats in America?
In 2018, a farm bill was introduced in the US, which includes the Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prevention Act. Under this rule, import-export and killing of cats and dogs for human consumption was banned. This law makes it illegal to kill cats and dogs for food at the federal level. Under the Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prevention Act 2018, there is a provision of a fine of up to five thousand dollars on persons violating the rule.
