Cos that's exactly what they are.
Just another animal.
The fact you're getting sensitive while eating one and bonding with other cos society told you that's the way is one thing. People being objective and telling u dog is just another animal is another.

Would i try a dog? Sure

The poll should be:
Should people have the right to eat meat?

Of course, they do.

Does it make sense to have dogs as meat source?

Nope, they consume more meat than they produce.

Should people who don't have enough room for a dog to roam outside possess a dog as a pet?
No way!

should those peoples dogs be taken and provided for a community bbq?

yes is obvious answer

I've encountered quite a many Chihuahua that would better serve as dinner then a pet
