What's wrong with eating dog?

Nothing aslong as they aren't treated poorly.

There's nothing objectively worse about eating dogs than a pig. People just attach a lot of feelings to dogs and so find it morally wrong, but it's entirely based on feels rather than any objective reasoning.

Hell, I hope nobody here who has a boner for protecting dogs from evil dog meat eaters looks at the number of dogs we euthanize every year who are then subsequently thrown into mass incineration chambers. We could end a lot of hunger with dog meat. But instead masses of dogs end up as nothing more than carbon in the air.

Sorry but to me a dog is located a little above the cows and pigs, maybe it is because they have been flagged more as companions in general, than just another prey animal.

So, dogs are good slaves and obey owner - you can't eat them. Pigs don't recognize your GF as their "owner" - how could those animals do that, let's slaughter and eat them in punishment! Did I get you right? The only difference between ok/not ok to eat is if they kiss ass of their master or not?

Sounds about right

[Peebuddy]

It's one thing to domesticate an animal for livestock, dogs however were bred for loyalty, obedience, and trust. To betray such an animal which we've bred by throwing them alive into pots of boiling oil seems like an act of betrayal no other. The saying "we don't deserve dogs" holds true if we treat them so poorly.

It makes me very sad that we can do such horrible things to an animal that holds us in such high regards, we are their world and we'd do such terrible things to them.

I love dogs, but I cannot force other cultures to adopt my culture.

I have no issues with eating horse, for example. Are Americans going to force me to stop, because they believe it's wrong?

there's a stigma about it to westerners because many of us see our pets as family, and many of us have dogs.

in places where dogs and cats have always been normal to eat i dont see an issue with it. but gtf away from my dog...

I can see the validity of some counter arguments here, but the it's not my culture so I can't say anything bad about line is BS.
Backwards as fuck to eat dog. Get with the program you Néanderthals.

The last sentance is nonsense... nobody is saying to go to go to your house and take your pet for food.....

In any places that have an over population of cats/dogs, it should be reasonable to eat. People hold cows, pigs, goats in high regards but people ignore them because it's the norm for you.

What's wrong with eating your mentally challenged grand-aunt?
You know she has some values and life goals, can somewhat tell good from bad, but she's not all there, not entirely.

Darned West and their superiority complex!

When your pet dies there are 3 options:
1. Feed it to worms
2. Cremate it to waste it
3. Eat it and bury the bones

Do the most decent thing (3).

A huge part of the dog meat consumed in China comes from stolen dogs.

The only reason why people think it's wrong to eat dogs is because they think of dogs as pets.

[Fargus]

It is not necessarily about the eating of dog, per se.

It's the abhorrent methods in which they kill these animals. They skin and boil them alive. And it's not just dogs, they do it to cats, rats, ferrets and lizards too.

[Bigcountry11782]

Technically nothing is wrong with it.I wouldn't eat it unless it was the only source of nourishment i had to survive on.
