The simple answer is that dogs are carnivores so they can't be bred and raised economically for slaughter. Therefore any dog meat you eat is from wild dogs. Wild dogs are also tame enough to stay close to humans, which means they are likely to be feeding off a lot of human waste. Any dog meat you eat is likely to be gamey and full of parasites. It's not just a cultural distinction.
- fnovd 9y agoThat's not really an answer at all. Eating dog isn't seen as abhorrent because of the possibility of consuming parasites or the quality of the meat. It's seen as abhorrent because we view dogs as trusted companions capable of basic emotion. GP was merely stating that this quality, which is the one that actually causes people to scoff at dog-eaters, is also present in pigs.
