I doubt you could handle a dog that is 80+ pounds unless you are a big guy yourself. Doubt you could hold down a bigger dog unless you got it pinned with your body. So I think you are going to need to rely on hitting it as hard as you can repeatedly.

You aren't one of those people who think you could take on a wolf are you?

As per the topic , in western cultures , dogs shouldn't be allowed to have meat sold but some cultures don't have the same values.

We just decide what animals we eat and dogs are useful/cute to us so we don't eat them. But in a lot of ways, there's not much separating a dog from a cow/bull/pig to be honest other than dogs were better domesticated.

Objectively it's no different than eating pork or lamb. Personally, I'm not thrilled about having the chance to eat dog meat myself, but I don't think there's an objective reason to forbid people from eating it.

Dog meat is really not great. It's tough and gritty and has a weird kind of 'through the nose' mustiness. I have only tried it out of curiosity. Unless I was starving or there was no other source of meat I wouldn't choose to have it again.

we got a dogmeat fan in the chat boiz, need that meat, boil that dog!

if u dont mind can u please share details about ur dogmeat experience (where, how cooked etc) , im sure im not the only 1 interested~~`

thanku any1 in advance

dog meat presents more of a moral dilemma than is ever expressed on face value. "NO THATS A PET" is silly. stop letting the Disney movie anthropomorphization rule your brain.

The issue is dog meat has historically gone grey but still been sold in many regions (like many terrestrial animals). as a result its not uncommon to see dogs shaking in cages in open air markets where they're killed and skinned to prove freshness. this isnt always, but is sometimes, done very inhumanely. Inhumane slaughter isnt only a dog meat problem, but it is disproportionately an Asian problem due to freshness concerns, which disproportionately effects dog meat.

the important anthropological aspect to understand is that these practices are to protect humans from terrible deaths due to spoiled meats, and while cruel are developed over generations as a utilitarian device in which the entire culture is culpable. its dying out now due to availability of ice even in regions without unilateral electricity, but cant be expected to die out at a faster rate than the region industrializes to eliminate food poisoning, realistically.

It's no more ethically acceptable than any other form of meat production.

it's pretty easy to argue that dog meat production is more ethically acceptable than human meat production

I don't believe in rights, culture, and social norms. If a person or persons decide to consume dogmeat for whatever reason, then that is their business.

However, in the United States, it isn't acceptable. Gotta love PETA. Dogs are loved more than the human.
