Eating dog is like eating a horse or a donkey... a complete waste of resources. You can argue cuteness and cruelty to pigs, cows and chickens until your blue in the face, the reality is those animals serve as one purpose and one purpose only, for eating, they wouldn't have survived on their own, and what we have bred them into they would never survive on their own so there is no argument.
Yet dogs have been domesticated by us for 1000's of years aiding us with farming in times were farm hands were non existent due to disease or war. It would take a man 9 or 10 years to wait for his son to be old enough to work on the fields or to help to keep the live stock or produce safe, with dogs it would only take a few months. If it wasn't farming they were helping us with it was hunting.
I still believe animals for eating should be treated as humanely as possible still, but putting them on par with dogs is just complete ignorance--unless it is last resort.
