    Isn't the dog eating mostly done for the tourists' sake today?

      Nah, there are people who still eat it because its what they like to eat.

      Think of it in the same sense that there are people in Florida who eat alligator, and there are alligator farms, but even in most of Florida you wouldn't necessarily call it "normal" to eat gator.

          I'm here to create a new vegan struggle session, where my main point will be "we should expand the list of animals that its cool to eat". Guinea pig? roast em. Gator? great for making little fried things like calamari. Pidgeon? what are you? Anti-polish? of course we're eatin pidgeon.

            all of these things are pretty normal to eat in various countries. they eat guinea pig in Ecuador (and I think Peru, maybe other parts of South America), alligator is eaten in the south-east US, squab is pigeon and that's a common game bird.

              That's what I'm saying basically. My wife is from south america and she jokes that when she sees a guinea pig, she sees food. She's even mostly vegetarian. I've had alligator before and it was tasty but I probably won't have it again outside of New Orleans.
