I don't think I could ever eat a dog (unless I was starving) but I don't see it as a problem or something that should be barred. Some people treat cows, pigs, chickens, whatever as parts of their family too.

I think if the last post was in 2004 it's safe to create a new thread.

There was a poster in my high school school by some humanitarian club that said "You wouldn't eat a dog would you?" and a picture of a dog followed. Someone wrote "Yes, I fucking would."

Same arguments, but it's your hammer

My argument: yes I would eat it, it's just meat, and there's nothing paticularly unethical about it (vegetarianism/veganism is another topic of debate).

I've had whales before, nothing really special. Kind of a beef texture but tuna taste.

Dogs are awesome. I wouldn't eat my dog, lol, but I'd be fine trying dog to see if it's good. Don't have anything against it.

I think there's a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge difference between eating dog meat and eating "pet meat". If you can't rationalize eating one non-human animal, then you shouldn't be able to rationalize eating any other animal.

Not that I'd PREFER dog meat, but I'd eat it if need be.

Dogs are animals, they have meat on them like anything else. Nothing wrong with using them as an energy source, as long as you're not stealing someone's dog and eating it.

Edit: Just as an aside, if people are against it due to the conditions that the dogs are kept in, those people really should be against just about all meat production. Chickens in particular are commonly kept in absolutely abysmal conditions that I wouldn't wish on any animal. Cows bred for beef often are as well. Arguing against the conditions is a valid concern, but its not specific to dogs. I'm sure there are dogs that are raised for meat poorly and those that are raised well, just like any other animal.

I dont have a problem with eating dog meat per se, but for sure with agricultural farming / herding of dogs.There are differences to lets say farming cattle.
Dogs are highly social animals. They have not been bred to live under the conditions of mass livestock farming. They just go mad if kept under certain conditions, it is animal cruelty.
One just has to look up certain videos from China to know what is the problem with farming dogs.

Same applies to animals like apes, cats or elephants for example.

Nothing wrong with it. I don't imagine it's particulary good, though. We tend to avoid eating carnivores for a reason.

dog meat is the same as any other meat that you eat so I dont see what would stop you from doing it. I wouldnt be the one to kill it and package but, I dont package my own steak or chicken breast either soooo....

Yes, okay with it. People have pet ducks and cows and pigs, doesn't mean its just taboo. Plus to eat is to live, and I only consider human meat taboo to eat.

I want to say it's messed up, but so is killing any other animal for food, so I'd have to say it's alright. The only reason this disgusts me is the things I'm reminded of when it comes to people killing dogs, and cats - some really fucked up stuff.

I'm not the type of person to push my beliefs onto others, so if you want to eat dog, so be it,

I just think it's pretty damn nasty to eat household animals and should not be eaten unless you need to survive. It's not that they are cute, and others aren't, its that they are domesticated animals - a symbol of friendship to most, so it's just wrong in a lot of peoples minds, it's like seeing people eat Human meat IMO, but once again - if I'm gonna eat cow, pig, chicken, turkey, it's fair you can eat dog, lol.
