They eat dogs in Vietnam and other parts of SEA as well. If you eat a pig or a cat you might eat a dog as well. Why not? It is just the way they kill the dogs. You have to look at their head that is usually at display where they sell the meat. You can see - it was a horrible death!
I am super happy that I do not eat animals. And in my opinion you can not really compare animals and plants. But that is up to you.
