Why don't you eat dog meat?

Many people do not eat dog meat because they were raised to believe that dogs have another purpose e.g. farming, pets, racing etc.

Dog meat is eaten in some parts of the world. However, it is taboo in the majority of the world. In many Western countries, dogs are seen as "man's best friend", so the consumption of a dog would be offensive and sickening to them.

Most people don't think about the feelings of the animals they eat, so while many would consider it cruel to eat a dog, they don't see any harm in eating a pig, even though pigs have a higher IQ than dogs (about that of a human toddler), and have just as much desire to live as any other sentient being.

Dogs, like pigs, are omnivores. They are bred to be eaten in some places. There is no ethical or nutritional difference between eating a dog and eating a pig. When people realize this fact, they often stop eating all meat.
