Eating dog in my opinion is discusting, and this opinion reflects most Governments and thier
Legislature, as its ilegal to do so in most countries. Eating a animal that has been bred over the centuries to
serve mankind and is extremely intelegent, and is considered mans "best friend" is beyond me.
I compare it
to eating a primate, which is almost canabalistic in nature. Apart from the high toxin issue of dog meat, the
ethical issue of eating dog is very real in western countries, and that includes another animal, the horse. Again
bred to serve, and a friend of man throughout history. Eating horse is ilegal in most countries.
The issue of
eating a certain type of animal and not eating it, can be seen from a viewpoint of cultural and scientific, some
animals are actually not very safe to eat, because of thier high (bad) bacteria ratio in the meat. They include Dog,
Kangaroo and also other game meats.
Nothing wrong with eating squid or calamari, mollusks, and most sea
creatures (fish) are clean, with low toxicity and very good for you. Ofcourse there are exceptions with species and
the age of some species.
But the thought of eating Dog kind of churns my stomach.
Most land animals
that are carnivarous or scavengers ( eat anything or carim ) are actually not very safe to eat due to toxicity and
bacteria in the meat, even after its been well cooked.
Sea creatures are different in this regard because of
thier enviroment.
Roasted Puppy on a stick, now thats a tasty thought...
