Not the parent and not taking any side in this discussion, but I was interested in looking this up, so here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog#As_food https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog#As_food "Dog meat is consumed in some East Asian countries, including Korea, China and Vietnam, a practice that dates back to antiquity. It is estimated that 13–16 million dogs are killed and consumed in Asia every year." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat "In the 21st century, dog meat is consumed in some regions of China, South Korea, Vietnam, and Nigeria and it is still eaten or is legal to be eaten in other countries throughout the world. [...] It was estimated in 2014 that worldwide, 25 million dogs are eaten each year by humans." I guess if what you took exception to was the "a lot" part, then three Asian countries might indeed not qualify as "a lot".
