    Trichinosis is most common in the flesh of scavengers. The last case I heard of in the U.S. was from eating bear meat. Bears, raccoons, pigs, dogs, they're all scavengers. (Dogs and wolves are the same species but one of the key differences between the subspecies is that dogs are adapted to a more omnivorous, lower-protein diet.) If you eat the meat of a wild scavenger and don't cook it well, regardless of the species, you run the risk of trichinosis. If the animal has been raised domestically and has not been eating garbage, it's unlikely to have any way to contract trichinosis, whether it's a dog or a pig or a hyena.

    The reason we have a taboo against eating dogs is that they were the first animal that came to live with us, and they did so voluntarily, not by being captured and domesticated. Dogs go back 15,000 years to the Mesolithic Era and predate all of our food animals from the Neolithic Era by a good 5,000 years. Cats also joined us voluntarily, which accounts for their special place in our hearts, but only after we had invented civilization with its rodent-infested granaries, roughly 6000BCE. Dogs have quite a head start on them.

    Dogs are not only Man's Best Friend, but Man's Oldest Friend. You just don't eat your most faithful buddies. I'm sure it wouldn't take five minutes to Google up a long list of people who starved to death without having eaten their dogs, and probably an equally long list of people who gave their last food to their dogs. Homo sapiens has a love of dogs that borders on the archetypal; it's almost an instinct. Of all the things a foreign culture can do to sink to the status of barbarians in the eyes of Americans and many other Western peoples, using dogs for food is right up near the top of the list.

    If the situation ever arose, I'd also be on that long list. I'd put a gun to my head and pull the trigger before I'd eat my dogs.

    I would never eat my dogs, but if I was starving and a random mutt walked by it would be dinner time for me and dead time for him.

    peep this,

    eaten dogs is very unethical. why, you be sayin? cause, for the last 5,000 years, dogs have been bread to have super-human emotions and recognize human emotions and relate. if a human face shows hurt, the dog feels hurt. if a human face seems worried, the dog gets worried. and so forth. when dogs are away from their masters, they get lonely and depressed. so, eating dogs is like eating a human woman or a chimpanzee.

    Dogs are daemons, they should be killed and eaten whenever the opportunity arises.

    I'd eat dog. Lord knows I've had worse things in my mouth.
    But I wouldn't eat anyone's pet.

    You have used this phrase a few times now. Maybe you should be more 'selective' when putting things in your mouth LMAO
