Dog is clearly a special case. It's the most common pet in the USA; many people consider their dog part of their family.
Dogs are known for forming such strong connections to their humans. On the spectrum between farmed-for-food and totally-off-limits, it's not hard to guess where we would put dogs.
It's just like indians and cows. Cows have a special place in their culture, therefore they don't eat beef.
- atdrummond 4y agoI’m not a vegan but I had a few cows growing up that basically became like pets. They would come up to me just to spend time and receive physical affection, they knew my voice, etc. I’m not sure if this reason for not eating dogs stands up to scrutiny for me.
- collegeburner 4y agoya lots of farm kids have pets like that and lots of us end up eating them later
