I love how if you click "I get it now" they assume you now don't want any animal killed instead of you having rationalised that proper dog meat is okay to consume.

The reason they are generally banning dog meat is not really because it's a dog, but because it's linked with animal theft iirc. I don't know anything so if this is wrong I'm wrong lmao.

There is one specific breed of dog kept for meat and no one has them as pets. They’re basically cattle.
