We selectively bred dogs to be companion animals.
Literally molded them so that we would find them appealing to look at, appealing to be around, hell even desire to be around them (for companionship and safety), form bonds with, find kinship with, etc.
Modern dogs are not meant for consumption, we made them that way.
Under the right conditions a dog will eat you. Like if you're a stranger and the dog is wild, etc.

That doesn't change their modern biology.
What I was referring to was domestication, over tens of thousands of generations for tens of thousands of years. Modern dogs are not wild animals. They are just as inherently attached to us as we are to them. Breeding them for consumption doesn't change the tens of thousands of years of domestication that made them into what they are now, nor what is tantamount to the betrayal (for lack of a better word) of that domestication.
What's wrong with eating humans?
I'd kill and eat a person before a dog.
Disarm now correctly removes the targets’ arms.

No, you're being the victim when you you pretend it's not part of your culture because you don't approve of it.
OT: The treatment is pretty horrid, nothing wrong with the actual act of eating it though. Seems like a bit of a waste, predators don't make the best meals. If it being done because they actually need the meat and sustenance in the area than more power to them, but things done just for the sake tradition are stupid af.
As long as they are humanely killed, I don't care.
It's just another kind of meat.
yeah. for one reason that its not healthy.
Second, and this is a big one, the difference between eating meat from cattle, poultry, is these farm animals haven't built up the close bond with us that dogs have. Dogs have shaped and evolved the way they have because of their close bond to human beings, so they have one of the closet bonds to us any other animal can have.
Eating a dog goes against that, unless its in a dia situation like starvation in the wild.
