I like dogs too much to eat one, but I understand that there are people who don't feel the same way. As long as they don't try to eat MY dog, I don't have a problem with it :D
Yep, most westerner I know are cool with other eating dog meat but not themselves till I take them to a restaurant I told them they are eating pork.
You really should try it sometime, cos these dog are from dog farm, not your dog or someone else's dog, and the taste is just really nice.

No. It isn't necessarily because dogs are "cute", but more to the fact that humans have kept them as pets for thousands of years for their obedience and loyalty. Cattle and live stock have always been a food source and not pets. I do have a biased viewpoint being that my mother is a veterinarian and I work in an animal hospital myself, but our society accepts cats and dogs as companions and not food. Thankfully, our world is changing and people are stopping these old traditions.
So... because ancient traditions says cattle are for making milk and food... And the dogs are for companionship aswell as help with the livestock. We still see cows as meat/milk only - and dogs as what... companions? What happened to the whole idea of them actually helping out with getting the job done? Oh, right... The world changed... Well, so did the modern perception of the role of animals.
You should probably reread your post, as it seems like you want to disagree with me, yet you are agreeing with me.
I don't want to disagree. Like you I just wanna point out that the world is changing and so should our perception of it. And the society you talk about is just not one I can identify myself as being part of.

Cows are huge and supply massive quantities of protein, fat, and milk; one sacrifice can feed many people. Dogs are usually small and skinny.

oh crap. sounds like you never had meat of an animal that lived a really good life.
you have NO clue how much better it is. absolutely no comparison at all. it is so ridiculously good. omfg.. a steak will literally melt in your mouth. it's the best meat i've ever eaten yet, by far. i'm sure it compares to kobe beef.
oh crap sounds lke you didnt read the entire post since i go on to say how deliecious free range (non-veal) meat is

Dogs do still help "get the job done". Sled dogs are still a big part of culture in northern Canada and Alaska. Dogs still are used for herding at some farms. Not to mention all the dogs the government and police use to sniff out bombs, drugs, and fugitives.
Most americans have no idea how common it was in colonial america.
My only issue with anyone eating anything would be the humane raise and slaughter of said animal. I don't think dog meat can be done so cost efficiently nor is it enough of a delicacy to demand the high prices required by humane raise and slaughter.

Chickens are small, too, so are calves, fish... you get the idea.

i mean some people eat bugs
im pretty sure size has nothing to do with it
if one cow feeds 5 times more people but for the price of one cow you can raise 6 dogs then its worth it

I have had the displeasure of eating dogmeat before without knowledge. My dad brought home food from a party, and told me it was goat. Ill still never forgive him.

I agree with Kojak21 on this. If you did this to me, you'd need extensive plastic surgery.
It is completely wrong to trick people into eating something they don't want to.

Anyways, lots of people keep fish and birds but have no issue eating salmon/tuna/etc. or chicken/quail/duck/etc., so it's kind of funny that some claim that eating dogs is barbaric or w/e just because they own a dog. I'm kind of ambivalent to it myself, but I wouldn't be horrified by the prospect of eating dogmeat. I'd take it over escargot any day of the week ...
Lol but people don't own some salmon XD maybe goldfish or something like that but who eats goldfish?
I'm alright with other people's consumption of dog meat, I just don't wish to eat it myself as it is something that I would wish to never have to consume (same is true with cat meat). The reason being is that I was raised with the knowledge of dogs and cats being pets and not food, but I am tolerant enough to accept that not everyone else has those same views.
I never have seen a problem in eating anything. As a young boy we often went to friends and family in french and we almost tried everything. I grew up in a farm and my oldest brother and sister were riding horses on a highly competetive level and for that reason they don't want to eat horse meat, however we had alot of different animals like cows, pigs, chickens pidgeons peacocks etc and none really has a problem in eating those. I think the main problem is that "dogs" and similiar animals are general pets that you grew up with, and although i would be really intrested in seeing how my own dog tastes I cant kill him, but I have no problem in trying out dog-meat. Same is with all the other pets i/we have had. In fact reading this thread I am kinda getting eager to try it out.
The only "problem" I could see is that you would need to feed dogs meat(mostly) to grow, and you might as well cut that middle step and eat that meat your self. On a side note someone did say that the meat used is mostly old meat that wouldnt be good for human consumption... Variety ftw
I'm Korean, and if someone asks me if I eat dog I just reply, "UMAD? [trollface]" I'm not particularly embarassed about it. It's just funny that people make a huge issue out of it.
I have personal reasons for not eating dog though. I'd rather play with a dog than eat one. And my mom tried it once, said it tasted like crap, and never wanted to try it again. She's not a picky eater either, so it probably does taste bad...
