I don't see dogs as any more special than other animals, pigs are just as intelligent if not more and they were kept as pets too around the world. It's just wypipo's sensitivity and moralizing, only whites obsess over dogs and go "omg but they're faaaaamily". YT women will literally fuck a dog over a non-chad human male. Cows probably have more emotional sensitivity and consciousness than dogs do honestly, especially over pit bulls (fuck pit bulls, those things are soulless). And the way we treat cows and pigs in the west in the concentrated feeding farms are a whole lot more horrific than shooting a meat dog that was raised in some chinese or korean hick's backyard. Getting so mad over dog meat is like if pajeets got mad and started moralizing at us for eating cows, except we treat cows a whole lot worse by putting them in concentrated feeding farms.
That said, I tried it, it's not that good. It's only decent if you heavily cover it with spices and other stuff to mask the taste. It's not like lamb or duck where the gaminess IS the point. Meat-eating mammals taste disgusting in general, I heard. And you have to use specific breeds of dog that actually have enough meat that it's worth killing and processing, not just any dog that would be disgusting with nothing much to eat. Even the actual meat dogs aren't dogs I would go out of my way to eat, that's more like the middle aged male asian redneck thing. A lot of these meat dogs aren't neutered either because asian middle aged redneck types are superstitious and have magical thinking and they think eating dogs is good for testosterone, so these dogs taste even more like shit because they had testosterone their whole lives. Dog eating only became a thing because asian countries were poor niggers and they had to eat whatever they can survive, not because it's actually good like beef and chicken.
