No.

I imagine if any of us grew up in countries where dog is eaten; our parents would make us eat dog.

It is wrong in Western society; but socially acceptable in many locations.

Should Applebee's put dog on the menu?
You're trying to troll your own troll thread. Whazzatter, not getting enough trolls loggin on to damn Obama to eternity for eating something as a boy? I once climbed a treee as a boy. In shoes. Showing no regards for the bark I might've made it lose.

This proves that I hate trees.

TREES - Back on the Applebee's Menu.

In order to do this, the dog farms will beat the dogs to death with baseball bats, throw them in dryers, and even burn them to death.

I've personally lived next to a dog farm in Korea and witnessed some of these things. It is beyond disgusting.
this is true and the also pull the dogs legs to break all four of them and leave the dog to lay there in agonizing pain for about a half hour to an hour because they believe it will make the dead dogs tastier. Geez how sickening is that. I hope the US never lowers itself to that for any animal let alone dogs and especially cats.

Dogs are meat eaters fellow predators like wolves or coyotes.Most animals hunted or raised for food are the vegetarian variety.I never hunt meat eaters ever though some trophy hunters do for the fur or wall mount. Black bear are mostly vegetarian around here and eaten by some. Not me

No it's not "wrong" but it's not something I would do under normal circumstances.
