Eating Dogs.

[sex]

No i couldn't do it, the main reason most people are against it is because they are domesticated pets who are thought to be quite smart!

I'd also like to add that I think it's wrong to say "if people can eat bugs, frogs and snails, they can cope with a bit of dog too". Killing a bug is totally different to killing a human and other mammals such as dogs. I know people might say "all life is equal", but it's not ... insects don't have the emotions and understanding that we have, and dogs have to an extent.

Hmm, I couldn't ever do it, but cultures are different so yeah, not a problem with it reallyyyy.

Well I suppose they grow up eating it so they wouldn't know any different, and tbh it wouldn't bother me that much either!

It's a different culture as other people have said and I think most people find it disgusting because dogs are a common pet. Personally I could never eat a dog though. I wouldn't even eat lamb or duck. In a chinese here, someone found a dog chip in their food. They had eaten someones pet dog. urgh

how did they know it was a 'dog chip' though? lol

im kinda surprised by people's answers but i'm glad.. generally people i know are "oh it's disgusting those people are horrible". yeah i think it's horrible the way they treat the animals like someone mentioned about skinning them alive, completely unnecessary. jewish people probably think we're disgusting for eating pork but how often do you see them complain about us doing it and cows are sacred in india, if you even knock one down you'll probably be punished lol.

yeah im all for culture that's what makes us different, the other problem i have is that there are certain health risks with eating it but it's eaten because it supposedly has health benefits and for that reason i probably wouldn't eat it, not because they're "pets" to us. eating dog hasn't only ever happened in china or asian countries, it's not even illegal in some countries like canada & it has been eaten in europe in times of food crisis even as early as 20th century iirc but china is still highly publicized for it.

IM GLAD YOU ALL KEEP AN OPEN MIND. LOVING U ALL.

In my experience all non-common meats taste of chicken - I'd have no problems eating an untamed dog certainly. But if it were a pet? No, but I wouldn't eat a pig if it were a pet either.

i suppose it's normal for some but i wouldn't dream of doing it, it seems vile to me and i just love dogs.

[Rottentroll]

Love it when it just falls off the bone.

I wouldn't try it myself but it's just like any other animal so I don't see why not.

Basically, eating dogs is just one of the many foods that you think are vile, horrible etc. etc.
In Malaysia, indigenous people eat turtles for their nutrients and similarly, they eat dogs in China for that reason too. It has been a culture and bear in mind that population in China has been increasing for centuries. You'd be glad that they don't turn into cannibals and the concept is simple. It's either you die or I die. It's reality. We sacrifice other living organisms for our survival no matter we need them in terms of food or protection from extreme weather. Yes, culture has been evolving and so is their civilisation. More and more people begin to realise that it's wrong to eat domestic pets(modern culture) and that is where education takes place. Learning is the essence of education, anyway and as long as China is not really a 'developed' country, you shouldn't expect every Chinese to be like you.

I'd also like to add that I think it's wrong to say "if people can eat bugs, frogs and snails, they can cope with a bit of dog too".

Killing is killing, something which we humans who CAN THINK PROPERLY shouldn't do unless it's that desperate.
