Maybe it's cultural, maybe you're culinarily adventurous, maybe you just need the food, whatever. Is it more moral for an animal shelter to destroy and dispose of a dog than to provide it to someone who wanted to eat it? I have little doubt that supply would far outweigh demand, but for those few... What do you think? Why?

of course it's OK dogs are very good for a person's health and if someone is just going to kill it anyway. let someone eat it, the dog doesn't know it's stupid. But a cat on the other hand that's just evil!!!!!!

Because in the US we view dogs as a companion animal and only third world savages would eat a dog or cat. I know a family with a pot-bellied pig as a pet. They do however eat pork, so go figure.

I wouldn't eat a dog .. I wouldn't eat a horse .. But isn't ironic how we use to ( and some places still do) make dog food out of horse meat.... Just a thought..

Chinese eat dog whether it's forbidden or not. It is hypocrisy to ban the eating of dogs when eating cows (sacred to Hindus) is OK.

If someone needs to eat it to survive I don't see any thing wrong with it - but I don't think eating animals is necessary in the US period. There's plenty of fruit and veggies to go around.

Don't live near a Chinese restaurant, there won't be any stray dogs in the neighborhood.....nor stray cats for that matter.
