I was in Northern Vietnam in 2019, happily riding my rental scooter around.

I ride right past a dog on a rotisserie.

I stopped to talk to the guy and he showed me his sign that said Dog Meat. After learning the words for dog meat in Vietnamese, I saw the signs everywhere.

I've had dogs as pets for decades. I don't see why people cant eat them if they want to. I wouldn't eat my dog because of emotional attachments, but that doesn't mean that others who don't have emotional ties cant eat them.

But perhaps you can see why someone would be upset if you needed to pass your dog to someone else's care; and they ate them.

Are pigs food to Muslims?

Is there a culture where eating rabbit is taboo?

You said

> They're food. Rabbits. People eat them.

Well people eat dogs and pigs so then by the same logic they are food.
