What's the difference between eating beef to eating dog?
If you kill a dog it is somehow murder ... If you kill thousands of cows it's an industry?

In Korea, Vietnam and parts of China there seems to be little difference at all, except dog meat may be cheaper.

I've got a friend who says that dog is really tasty. I've never been offered it, but wouldn't have a problem with eating it. I try to base my animal eating activities on whether or not they are endangered or reared cruely for example, not how cute and fluffy they are.

It becomes an emotional factor. Dogs are, as Steve says, cute and fluffy, for the most part, and the majority of them in our western culture are kept as family pets, or perhaps working dogs on farms or ranches. Originally posted by aardvarkcore
Cattle are not cute and fluffy except when they are little, and the majority of those used in the food chain are bred to be such. They are not pets.

I ate dog when I lived in Taiwan, and it's tasty. Many generations of my American Indian forebears weren't kidding when they said it was good eats. Originally posted by aardvarkcore
Not eating dog is a cultural thing. The same as eating a hamburger in India would be perceived as wrong, or eating a pig in Israel would be seen as nasty.I have been honored as an Enemy of Nee™ and LAu Tzu hasn't!

The way it's seasoned?What's the difference between eating beef to eating dog?"Full experiences of God can never be planned or achieved." the Rabbi said. "They are spontaneous moments of grace, almost accidental."
His student asked "Rabbi, if God-realization is just accidental, why do we work so hard doing all these spiritual practices?"
The Rabbi replied, "To be as accident-prone as possible."

Someone should start a slaughter house for dogs and see what happens, pretty humorous social experiment if you ask me.

You've got cultural taboos, it wouldn't sell.
That's the power of people in the market w/o the govt.
But to answer your question, the only difference is that of 'taboo'.
Otherwise, no, there is a difference.

I've got two dogs right here who would very much disagree with you saying that it's not necessarily wrong. Originally posted by Redneck Hippie

What about the Chick-Fil-A ad campaign where all the cows are encouraging us to eat more chicken? The cows want us to eat more chicken because then we'd eat less cows! Originally posted by Nicholas
If there is anything I’ve learned from both conservatives and liberals, it’s that we can have all the “right” answers and still be mean. And when you’re mean, it’s hard for people to listen to, much less desire, your truth.

Don't remember that, but back on topic. I could never eat mine or any other dogs, I've lived with dogs and cats my entire life and my dogs are like members of the family. Originally posted by Amazing Rando
