Eating your pet dog

Dogs are sentient creatures. They have emotions and feelings. They are not like snails or reptiles or even cows.... Anyone who has had a dog can tell you that. They display great happiness when you come home. I am against eating those animals :|

I will never eat dog meat, it's too cruel. Dogs are just like humans, we see them in our daily life, making them part of us. Eating them is akin to eating one of our fellow human beings. The same goes for cats, i won't eat them either. I don't understand how can one eat household pets and it's something they have feelings for. Can they really be that heartless? I will never sell my pet to anyone who has a past record of eating dog meat. It's a sin.

While we were touring East Asia we attended a Farmers Market in Laos, where we saw dried rat meat, deep fried maggots, and wild cat,which was a protected species in Laos. We ate a Cobra snake, Dog meat was offered, but we declined. We noticed that there were very few dogs in the streets of small towns and villages, which we thought was because they had been eaten, all ready!

No, i never eaten dog meat and i don't plan to.. I think your dog was definitely eaten, that is just sad.. I can't imagine eating a dog since it is man's best friend...it's like eating another person for me. I'd definitely bury it, with a cross/name too.

No, I could never eat a dog period or selling it either. I would be flipping if someone even touched my pet, let alone eat it. My Dad and brother keep saying how tastey Marco (my pet rabbit) would be. But they know if they did they would be going in the pot right after.

I am sad for you that your pet dog has been murdered and eaten, simonelee. I could not eat my pet dog. I was a farmer for awhile, and I was not able to eat any of the animules with whom I had a relationship. I have known other farmers who would have to trade their livestock with friends, rather than eat the livestock with whom they had grown fond. If I was starving, or my family was starving, and there was no other recourse, I suppose I would consider it, but I hope that it never comes to that.

That's just horrible!!!! I could never eat dog meat much more my pet!!!!

It is gross for me to eat my pet dog, i may give it a try on a wild dog meat, i will definitely not going to eat my pets no matter it is a dog, cat, rabbit, fish, monkey or tiger/lion cub. My pet is part of my family and myself.

No I wouldn't eat a dog. It's disgusting to me. Maybe back in the day when dogs were wild people ate them, but now dogs are like people. They're part of the family. You wouldn't eat a family member. I guess I can't really judge someone as a bad person for doing it, but if it's not their dog then yeah, that's wrong. If they're going to eat a dog they should get their own dog to eat.

My pets are dogs , i don want eat them ,because rumours has it other dogs will snare and bark at your once they smell their kin inside your stomach and they will know your are a dog killer and eater.Hence in my culture people who rear dogs don not eat dogs. We only know that thai people love to eat dogs.Other than that , we don eat dogs except for tradisional purpose black dog meat suppose to give body more heat.

Yes, i have eaten dog meat when i was just a kid. My mother's brother made me eat it, while he was having a drinking spree with his friends. I can remember, that it did taste good and was cooked in tomato sauce. Though that was the first and the last. I never ever want to have a taste of it ever, because i know that they are not meant to be eaten like pork meats by humans, and that they are meant to be pets.

I don't think anyone over here is eating dog meat so it's useless to try to sell the dog. But if it comes to what is custom/habit/normal... meat is meat and one should not care if it's a so called pet or "less" like a cow, pig, sheep, goat or chicken. Who says a horse is a better animal as a chicken? I think it's kind of hypocrite if you do eat the pig you don't know but not your own. This doesn't mean I would "hunt" for the animal of someone else and try to sell that one or eat that one. I think if you do that it's stealing someone's property. I never ate dog meat only heard the meat does keep you warm.

thats really very very sad , to hear, eating our pets are like eating our own children , how can they be so rude, that innocent animals believe us, love us and do everything , ohh God ,its so very disturbing after reading this article,feeling sorry for that poor animal ,

I would think that al of these things concerning how the dog's legs were tied and the skin was peeled off ( I'm grossed out just typing this, and holding back on throwing up BTW) that indeed this was not an accident. I'm guessing someone did do this to her and I feel so bad she had to go through this, it isn't right. This neighbor you said ate his own dog is absolutely disgusting. I'm not sure what they do in your country but here it is barbaric and abuse to do that. There are people who get arrested for such things, and so they should be. A dog does have feelings, and emotions as does a cat. That is why they are domestic animals and should not even be considered to be meat in my own realization. I would rather starve and eat veggies all day long than eat such a thing, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I'd shoot myself first.

I'm cringing with that thought. I love my dogs and there's no way i'm gonna eat them nor any dogs for that matter. I do understand that in some places they raise dog for food. That's another story though. But in my case, i just don't have the stomach to do it.
