We don't raise dogs so they can be eaten. Chickens, cows, and pigs are cattle. Chickens are raised for their eggs and meat, cows for their milk and meat. Pigs are straight up food. They are resources as they have been for hundreds of years. Fish are just fish. They're critters of basic instinct that happen to taste good just like crabs, shrimp, and lobster.
Dogs don't provide in the same way cattle animals do. Dogs are smart. They can be trained to do several things other than being pets like helping the disabled and mentally challenged or for other reasons like people with PTSD, being an actual police officer where they can catch criminals or sniff out hidden illegal drugs, finding and help rescuing people trapped in an avalanche or underneath rubble after an earthquake, hunting, or just fun competition.
For those reasons we don't kill dogs to eat them and is why it is looked down on. So with that said you're really going to say there's nothing wrong with killing and eating dogs?
What kind of slughterhouse have you been to? they dont hit them with blunt objects till they die they stun them they go unconscious then they use a bolt gun to instantly kill them.
Huge difference from boiling and skinning animals alive that can take a very long time with unimaginable pain for the animal.
Actually they walk them into booths and cut their throats and let them bleed out. At least its how they used to do it like 20 years ago, not sure how they do it now. OMG really they were alive? WTF man! Ok now that im beyond your stuid "You do know that animal was alive" question, I've ne ver heard of them electrocuting an animal for slaughter since it would ruin some of the meat.
You forgot about the horses. I mean ppl in Europe and all over the world eat horses but lets see what impact they had on our lives. Well they helped build cities by pulling insane amounts of weight humans couldnt bring on their own, they helped us connect towns and distances that a human wasnt able to cross in days a horse can in less than a day. They are majestic animals, strong, pretty, dont make good pets but hey they helped build civilizations.
Eating dogs and cats is not any "worse" than eating chickens, cows or pigs.
I would guess that some ppl object because they consider the former animals to be pets, while the latter are food. Aka irrational moral BS reasons.
Ofc, if you avoid all meat because of animal rights or something like that, I would understand it, but being fine with the "standard western" meat, while being outraged at ppl eating dogs and cats, makes no logical sense.
They're (short for They are) describes a group of people. "They're/They are a nice bunch of guys." Their indicates that something belongs/is related to a group of people. "Their car was all out of fuel." There refers to a location. "Let's set up camp over there." There is also no such thing as "could/should OF". The correct way is: Could/should'VE, or could/should HAVE.

I remember years ago watching an episode of Panarama on the BBC. It showed asians boiling cats alive, then before they were dead they rip their skins off in one go. Lifting cows out of a truck with a crane then just dropping them from like 40ft. That shit as scarred me for life. I don't know how anyone could do that to any animal.
Still like me a nice juicy burger though, just not a cat burger.
Actually some do, its not all like in the Silence of the lambs....
It is different i agree but we are not talking about they way of how are they killing dogs ( at least i'm not ), i was saying that i dont see anythign wrong if in some parts of the world they eat dogs, yes tome its morally wrong but u don't see a problem with that,
You are kinda wrong....
Full disclosure, I didn't read all the replies. I hope someone alluded to the fact that many Western human cultures tend to anthropomorphize dogs. We think of them as family. We have no qualms with eating steak and hamburgers, but I bet Hindus find that abominable.

I don't eat members of the family.
Or anything that isn't raised for slaughter.
