Dogs have evolved/been bred for tens of thousands of years to instinctively bond with, trust, and genuinely love humans. Their biological purpose is to be our companions and helpers. Eating them is a primal act of betrayal and pure cruelty. It is an active rejection of some of the most beautiful facets of humanity and of life in general for the sole purpose of eating something that tastes like chicken. As someone else have pointed out there is no legitimate economic reason to raise dogs for food due to their being carnivores. If people are starving to death then sure, eat dogs to survive. Otherwise my point above stands. Pigs may be smart, but they have no such special relationship with humanity beyond being domesticated for food. Killing a pig is not killing an animal whose brain is physiologically structured to love you. And while I personally eat pork & beef, I don't necessarily think that people who view it as abhorrent are wrong. 95% of animal consumption in today's world is abhorrently wasteful and destructive. I will gladly eat lab grown meat when it's widely available and of acceptable quality, which can't come soon enough.
