I read somewhere that some dog breeds are used as a livestock, ie meat animal, by feeding them only a rice based diet, so they are not meat eating animals that are bred for consumption. I think that was in China, but it may be a more historical thing. So that would address the issue of eating only veggie animals, as we do with cows, pigs etc (if they are fed properly, I well remember how BSE and nvJCD came about). I don't have a problem with it, if we're talking stock animals and not pets, what is the difference between a dog and a pig? Nothing much, and I eat the usual meats, so it would be pretty hypocritical to have an issue with eating dog meat.
On the subject of pets, I once had professional reasons to correspond with someone who was very interested in the word pets. He said it doesn't really occur in languages other than English, or more precisely the concept of pets, as opposed to working animals. A quick check showed that 'domestic animal' is a common translation of pets. Anyway, so what, how would people feel about all the Hindus launching petitions to stop us eating cows? They are all clickbait, by the way, those petitions. If you click on the horrific ones about abused animals, the click farm gets say, 0.01 of a penny, but that adds up quickly. They are always about animals in foreign countries, so a) a petition here will have zero effect, we don't run the world, and b) you're actually paying the abusers to keep posting stuff like that. Oh and c) I don't want to see that crap on my fb profile, it's upsetting and useless.
