What is your opinion on eating dog meat?

I've always thought this, but what makes a dog any better than a pig or a cow? Some cultures won't eat cow, so they disagree that we eat it. We still do though. I love dogs, and I love cats, I wouldn't eat them myself, but I also see how in a world abundant with dog and cats, (many that get abandoned every day) why people would eat them.

I'm neutral on the subject. I wouldn't do so myself, simply because I don't think I could look my pets in the eye after that (when I finally have some), but if other people do so, it's not that much of an issue.

I don't agree with it. I think it's wrong that people eat dogs. You can't compare a basic meat animal such as a cow, pig, or chicken to a dog. You just can't because unlike dogs, those three animals were meant to be consumed. I know alot of times people don't have a choice but there are many who do and i find that abnormal. I never ate dog meat and i never will. Dogs are supposed be companions, hunters, protectors, and so forth but never meat on one's platter. I think it's sick and disgusting. That's just my opinion though.

I personally find it to be barbaric. The very thought is revolting. I work with dogs at my job at Petsmart. I've gotten to love the dogs as if they were family and I view dogs fairly similarly to people. But then again, the only meat I eat is seafood..

It's a dog-eat-dog world out there.

I guess....

Kinda...

.....Whatever.

Dog meat disgusts me but that's because I never even heard about eating it... I think that if eating pigs is okay, why not dogs?

Morally, it is no worse than eating a cow or pig. In India, they view their cows as beautiful animals and mother-figures. Slaughtering a cow is like slaughtering your own mother there. Pigs are also smarter than dogs, yet most of the time we see them as bacon and sausages.

However, I am (generally) against the consumption of dog meat for health reasons. Dogs are carnivores, meaning they eat only meat (naturally, except some grass if they're sick). Eating carnivorous mammals causes bioamplification, and that wouldn't be good for you. Cows and pigs are generally fed a herbivorous diet in slaughterhouses and are less likely to accumulate impurities.

By the way, dog meat is not only consumed in China. It is eaten in Korea, Vietnam, Switzerland, Tonga, Benin, Nigeria, and in the USA by a few Native tribes.

I'll try anything once, and twice if I like it.

Not to say that dogs do not have feelings but eating dog is not the same as becoming a cannibal. In what way is a dog the same species as a human? They are not. However the reason a lot of people would not eat dog is because they use them for guarding, attack and hunting dogs as well as keeping them as pets. They also are used to lead the blind. So have high regards in a lot of places. So many do not consider them meat.

oh gross. I couldn't eat that. Alligator is the most 'unusual' thing I've eaten. It was pretty good.

My argument is always about the intelligence of the animal or plant which provided the meat. Intelligence implies self-awareness and some sadness at the loss of its own life if we kill it and eat it.

Like it or not, dogs are really intelligent.

Why eat Dogs,horses,dolphins? There are plaenty of things to eat then why those? I hate people who eat them for food. If they have no option then it's okay but eating it is not normal.

When I was in the Navy, anytime we went to a country where people ate dog meat, we always ate it. Sometimes, we would take some young man or woman who didn't know about dog meat to a restaurant and didn't tell them what they'd eaten until after the fact. It isn't the best meat I've ever had, but it isn't half-bad. In Korea, you can walk down some of the streets and they will be roasting whole dogs -- head, tail and all -- on spits over a fire and they'd slice you off some and sell it on a plate with vegetables, etc. Eating dog is no different than eating beef, pork, chicken, or whatever. They're all animals.

Besides anyone in the US who frequently eats Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and other oriental food from restaurants has eaten dog at one time or another. These restaurants are always getting busted when someone finds a big bag of dog heads in the dumpsters out back. You'd think they'd have sense enough to dump the heads elsewhere!

I would like to try it sometime. I have traveled and tried many foods

I think it's sick (as in, horrifyingly disgusting). However, I guess it can't be helped considering how poor and backwards alot of countries are. Any country that would eat a dog is very likely a 3rd World Country in my eyes.

i wonder if it taste good i have ate frog legs and bugs before but no kind of dog or cat i eat sheep and moo cow and lamb

I don't see anything wrong with it, dogs are no better than other animals.

I don't approve of the consumption of dogs. However, as long as people don't eat it infront of me, I don't care.

Maybe if I was raised in a culture that doesn't view them as pets, but otherwise, no.

I'm Middle Eastern, and we have a set of rules of what could be eaten, and what can't be eaten.

One big rule is that any land animal that has canines and eats meat (isn't vegetarian) is not to be eaten by humans. This includes dogs, cats, and so on.

There are many other things that we go by. We see them as logical. It's definitely more logical than "because they're cute and they're our best friends."

Some salamis, especially ones from italy may contain horse and donkey meat. Think about that next time you have a peperoni pizza.

I think if I was raised in a culture where it was considered normal I might. Its hard to imagine cause I like dogs alot. They fall in the pet category. But truthfully pigs have just as much personality as dogs. I made the mistake of making friends with a pig marked for porkchopdom once. I truly don't know. I still eat pigs sometimes. But I have a hard time. I borderline on going vegetarian. I suffer with fuzzy animal guilt.

I've had bear meat and it was awful. I'm told dog meat is similar.

I always make jokes about cooking and eating my dog (I don't think he gets it) but I would never really do this.

Wait you mean like eating dog? I thought you meant eating dog's food. I would never eat dog if I knew it was a dog but I think I would taste it if I didn't know what animal is that.

I don't eat meat.

I eat human meat.
