Is eating dog meat an inhuman act?

I remember when I went to Mexico and we went to the open air market. We thought it was a pig hanging in the fresh market skinned and headless but it was a dog. We were told it was a delicacy. Needless to say I didn't eat much meat for the rest of the trip. Does it bother you that different cultures eat domesticated animals? Do you just look at it as each their own?

From what I know, in my country, eating dog is something that unusual. If I am not wrong, there are regulations that prohibit people from selling dangerous food, and one of them is dog meat. I agree with that. I can not imagine I eat dog meat. Is it really healthy? I doubt it. But it applies only in major cities. How about the people who live in small town or rural areas? How about people who are people who are poor? I believe poverty can make people act that does not make sense. Or as you say, maybe eating dog meat has become a culture for some people. It has become usual. But for me... absolutely NO...

Well I personally would never eat any other meat than beef, pork, chicken, and fish. I find it wrong for an American/Canadian born and raised person to eat dog, cat, ect. If you are from another country and that is what you were born into and grew up with, then I think it's fine. I know this is sort of an unfair opinion on the situation, but it's just how I feel about it.
