      I would've thought some part of SE Asia where I've got family in. It's fairly interesting watching the western concept of valuing all dog life move through Asia and change the cultures a bit.

        I'm not even sure how old the western attitude is. I've read first hand accounts of travelers on the western plains (US) eating dog in the camps they would visit. It was portrayed as somewhat exotic, but not really a big deal.

          I'm gonna blame Hollywood for this one since it seems like something that'd come from their ability to create mono-cultural beliefs shared across the states.

        That's not a western concept, it's like a landed victorian gentry concept.
        Swiss farmers STILL eat dog in the 21st century. not that there's anything wrong with that

          This link is to a Wapo article about eating cat and dog for Christmas in Switzerland:

          https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/11/27/swiss-under-pressure-to-ban-the-eating-of-dogs-and-cats/?outputType=amp

          Some people would like to ban it, but apparently not many.

          My own thought is that the Swiss are irredeemably uncivilized, but not because of what animals they choose to eat.

      Ah, Ohio then. Yes, dog meat and Monster Energy is the state dish

      I joke, of course. Heroin and Monster Energy is the state dish

        Where I live they were eating much finer dogs than you can find in Ohio. But credit is due where it's due. You guys are way better at doing hard drugs.
