Well, in some places. It's a bit like the French eating frogs: a local oddity.
I've heard rumours of Thais and Vietnamese eating dogs.
Wade.
It is known that Guinea Pigs are eaten in South America.

Very popular in New York, not much seen in Los Angeles - yeat. Where I live, the Armos have been largely displaced by Koreans, the world's principal dog eaters, and I'm sure I could rouse up some dog if I really wanted to fish around. The principal problem with Korean dog eating (in Korea) is the inhumane methods of killing the dogs. In southern China the main problem is extreme violation oaf all principles of sanitation, as well as severe mistreatment of the dogs. In my opinion both these issues need to be addressed in a very severe way before dog can be considered a respectable menu item. |

All of them, and dogs as well, must be cooked by the ruses for pork, because they are all carriers of trichinosis (as are humans).

Mexican Dog Breeds
I heard somewhere that both the Chihuahua and the Mexican Hairless (the ones I've met: a medium to large gray dog with a very mellow attitude and about 2 hairs to the square inch except for a white head tuft, one of the few breeds I'd ever consider owning) were originally bred as food animals.

Re: Mexican Dog Breeds
According to a history professor, it appears that dogs in general were originally domesticated as a food animal. It only later occurred to people that they could be more valuable off the spit than on.
