You know, I personally could not eat a dog. (Maybe if I was starving and had no choice, even then it would be hard). People in India do not eat cows, did you know that? They probably look at us and say, why do Americans eat cows? We have to understand that all around the world everyones diet is different. There are some places in the world where they eat rats as a main part of their diet. I don't think it is easy to know why a culture eats a certain type of food. A lot has to do with availability of that food source. Perhaps to Asains dogs are an easy food source. Just like cows are an easy food source for us.
Take Care

In some cultures the eating of dog meat is excepted, and in some cultures the eating of beef is not.
Here in the U.S. we see dogs as mans best friend and would not consider eating him.
But when I was in the Navy I would eat the local food from every port I went to and this included dog meat, monkey meat, Kangaroo and horse meat,
however I will not eat chicken because they take a dump and turn around and eat there own sh*t... so It is a matter of personal taste.

I'm sure not all of them do but the ones that do, eat them because it's normal in their native country.
Some cultures think it's crazy that we (americans) eat pork.
And in other cultures the cow is holy and we eat it here at McDonald's and beyond.
Every culture and society is different.

Because they are hungry and have always eaten dog. Why do you eat cow, pig etc.
