In Korea, eating dogs is very popular. Why then do we not do it in the US?

The practice of consuming dog meat is a cultural tradition in some parts of the world, including Korea, where it has historical roots. Why is it that this practice is not common or accepted in the United States? What cultural, ethical, or societal factors contribute to this difference?

We don’t eat dogs in the United States because we have never eaten dogs. In China, Korea, and other places in the world there is a history of it. We eat little piggies (which are smarter than dogs) and developed the domestic cow over hundreds of years to both drink it’s milk and eat it’s flesh. Maybe both are wrong?

Lewis and Clark bought dogs from Indian tribes for the express purpose of eating them.  They mention it in their journal.

The consumption of dog is actually falling out of popularity and has been for years especially in South Korea.

Because people don’t want to. If you can obtain dead dogs you could eat them. Not for me though.

Koreans bred a certain type of dog to eat. We don’t eat them because we determined that animal to have too many human like traits. Eating an animal that likes you that much? I don’t want to.
