Assuming you eat meat, if a certain breed of dog was found to have quite delicious meat, would you eat it? If not, why not?

I love dogs too much to do that...the thought of it sickens me.
Plus, I'm against the killing of more intelligent animals.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I suppose I would try it out of sheer curiosity but, definitely its not going to be man's best friend.

Maybe wild coyotes or a wolf.

We are both fortunate enough to live in a place where food security is such that we can be finicky.
I have pretty much stopped eating pork for the same reason.
In fact, I've cut my meat consumption back a lot for a variety of reasons. But especially pork.

I'd probably eat human before I'd eat dog.

Oh ... damn, I phrased that wrong. Let me try again.

I'll continue eating human rather than dog.

Well, I suppose if there are food shortages, I might be tempted.

I suppose it's more a matter of practicality and why we've chosen to domesticate certain animals in the first place. Dogs serve a practical purpose for the betterment of humans, apart from food. It's more practical to keep a dog alive to help humans hunt for other food, and as a reward, the dog gets a share of the prey. Dogs are also useful for protection and guarding flocks of other food.

Likewise, cats are useful for hunting down and killing any vermin which also threaten the food supply. They have a purpose for humanity which makes it more practical that they are allowed to live rather than be consumed as food.

Horses also have practical uses for humanity, other than food - although some might still eat horsemeat. Or it's used to feed the dogs.

There is also a more abstract quality about dogs and cats. They're cute and cuddly. A dog will come rushing to his master and show enormous affection. They might even give you warm kisses if you let them. Cats will jump up on your lap and purr contentedly while receiving a full body massage from its owner. That's a quality that many humans value in their companion animals.

But cows, chickens, pigs - what else are you going to do with them? What other purpose do they serve, other than food? Why would we bother breeding them at all? Are they cute and cuddly? Can they sniff out bombs and alert their handler? Can they guard anything or protect their household?

Chickens are very underrated, they are very personable.

If there were no dogs, pigs might have stood
in their stead. Smart, trainable. Bombs?
They train them as truffle hunters!

And you know, leave the cows (auroch) alone.
Wont be dangerous if they knew we wont hurt
them.

The dreaded Cape Buffalo is smart and friendly,
approached right.

There is such a cool youtube video of a buffalo
whisperer.

I'm assuming you don't eat pork then at least, do you?

As for me, I'm vegetarian. Wouldn't eat it no matter how delicious it is.
