This looks way different. These are just random street dogs being killed for their hides it seems.
Honestly I don't know how I feel about it. If we have a beaver who builds a dam where we don't want one, we just go shoot the beaver. If there's way too many deer one season, we kill all the deer.
My wife is from Mexico, they have a lottttt of dogs running around with no owners. Maybe leather is a good answer. Who am I to say.
And like all illegal unregulated businesses, they clearly weren't trying to run a clean operation here.. But if it was legal, they'd surely do better.
I dunno.
I mean if we collected all the dogs we kill every day in Toronto just because there's nobody to take care of them, and piled them up and took a picture, we'd look like savages too.

In regards to the story, yea, I think it's for their skin. But for food, it depends on where you are. North East Thailand loves black dog, any black dog, as they think it's lucky and healthy for them, even though it's illegal. Vietnam and China seems to eat any old dog. In the case of China, they eat pretty much everything that moves, out of desperation and not having enough food to feed everyone.
