Would you eat it?    Here's an interesting article from CNN about a dog meat festival in Southern China. 

http://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/22/world/asia/china-yulin-dog-meat-festival/index.html?hpt=hp_c2

I spent 6 weeks travelling around China in the 1990's and might have eaten it, but not knowingly.    I also lived in Vietnam for a while where they also eat it, but there it is an expensive delicacy so I didn't have there.  Maybe I should have tried it but wasn't really bothered. 

I think that meat is meat to be honest and as long as the animal has a good and healthy life and is dispatched quickly and humanly then it's fine! 

However this is China we're talking about......

NO, nor would I eat Cat, Rat, Squirrel, Hedgehog or many other creatures, then again may have but not by choice.
I suppose it depends how hungry you are.

I would and also horse meat.

Meat is meat...........( this statement excludes human flesh )

Salmon cat food tastes just like salmon for humans  Given a choice to starve or eat it what would you do

Which, incidentally, tastes like chicken

Would probably start with the cat tbh, having first fed it all the cat food

Would probably get a weeks worth of caserole out of a fully fed one

Well that rules out you eating Supermarket lasagna, pies, burgers and beef mince then.

Probably not as I like dogs as pets. Likewise, although I've tried most French foods, I haven't frogs legs as I like frogs. I've eaten horse meat regularly in France, plucked, gutted and eaten Pheasants, like rabbit, eaten goat (like lamb) and tried kangaroo meat. Given the chance to try new cuisine when I'm travelling, then I do.

No ready meals in our house.

Beef, Lamb, Pork, Chicken, all game, but domestic pets I draw the line

I have dogs, but if it came to it,
althought they would probably eat me first.

[cem_devecioglu]

Would you eat it?     

never..  if I was left for starving would boil plants

[GastronomicKleptomaniac]

Dog food? No doubt. Dog meat? No way...
