I understand this part.
But I do understand as well, that you can't turn cockroach in your pet in the same manner as you can turn that "no one's dog" into your pet.
So obviously as I've said, there is something different between the cultures, where one treats potentially intelligent and loyal animal as a "best friend" and the other one treats it as a source of food.

Unfortunately or fortunately what we eat in some parts of world in another parts we throw and vice versa...differents cultures and differents ways of eating. In the world we eat everything but every parts eat only some things.

I mean the whole idea of someone habitually eating dogs is already repulsive to me ( talking about the "cultural gap,") but leaving that alone, to torture them on top of that, so they'd "taste better"?
I'm sorry, obviously there is a problem right there, not to mention that I find that there is something wrong with people that keep on multiplying to infinity, and then have a necessity to kill their girl off-springs.
Don't forget that originally I am coming from "misogynistic and homophobic" place, so the political correctness American style didn't affect me)))
And in the same manner, while I feel sympathetic to the plight of minorities in the US and understand the whole issue of covert racism, it doesn't mean that I don't see Blacks for example for what they often are - the disregard for the value of human life (the lives of their own kin at that,) the babies being popped out with no regard of how to raise them/take care of them, the drugs - it's not like I don't see it all.
This doesn't prevent me from making friends among them with people I genuinely like, but to say that "I don't have prejudice" would be incorrect, because I certainly do, and for a reason.
I agree with this assessment. And, we whites have nothing to be proud of either. People, generally and some races in particular, have some unpleasant aspects of their culture.

I hope those countries where dogs are eaten will continue doing so. what you provided makes very little sense despite your desperate effort.

and yes, dogs are just another animal. NOTHINg more. What westerners love to do most to to impose their own preference as some sort of "universal value" and it is disgusting to see.
I can't understand why you think it is okay to eat dogs. Do you also think it is okay to torture them so they taste better? Btw, I am vegetarian so my conscience is clear. Your viewpoint is disgusting.

Eating dogs means torture dog? Do people torture cows before eating beef?

Being vegetarian is your personal choice. There's absolutely nothing noble about it.

For the work I do I often meet VEGETARIAN, VEGAN, FRUTTARIANI ( people that eat only fruits ) and now MELARIANI ( people that eat only apples ) each of them believes he is better.
I say them always that:
1) until in the your speeches there are words as CRIMINALS, MURDERERS to who don't think as you, you will not be credible and you can not change nothing.
2) before calling CRIMINALS other people because they eat meat ( people have always eaten meat ) you think the people that every day die by hand of other people.

Why do people care what kind of animals are eaten in other countries?? Nobody forces you to eat dogs, and no health threat is created by people eating dogs in other countries. I find dogs smelly and not tasty, so I don't eat them.

I think is difficult to say if the dogs are tasty ( if you don't eaten them ) and they are smelly? Yes, but the pig is not smelly??

I have eaten dog meat, but I didn't like it. Well, you are right that all animals are somehow smelly. But if I think of dog, I always think of dog poo on the sidewalk in the cities. That already makes me so disgusted that I don't want to eat dogs.
