Hahaha, this is a really funny topic. I still remember that I got asked by my foreign friend that "why do Chinese people eat dogs and cats?", "So cruel!", "These animals are the best friends of human beings". I say STFU, lol. My friends, let me explain it.
First of all, China is big. We have our modern part and rustic part. In modern cities, most of the people there are just like us, who DO NOT eat dogs or cats and consider it humanless to eat them. In rural areas, it is more common for people to eat dogs or cats. It is understandable because maybe they are poor and do not have our luxurious options on food. Maybe they believe in the traditional Ying-yang theory which says that dog meat warms your body and helps you make through the freezing winter. For me personally, I had dog meat when I was little. My parents told me that was rabbit meat, and after I had my taste bud satisfied, they said oh it was dog meats. I am not sure if it is legal to eat dogs and cats in China but my family does not eat dogs anymore.
Some people claim that it is cruel to eat dogs' and cats' meat. I also personally think it is somewhat disgusting if I see their bodies hanging up in a meat market, however, I do not oppose eating their meat. Dogs and cats are just like all other animals. If you are eating any other animals' meat, then please STFU. What? You think dogs and cats are our pets and they have thoughts? STFU, all animals have thoughts and feelings! I had a chicken as my pet before, I talked to him, gave him a name, and loved him so much. However, he was killed and eaten by my family, and I was quite sad for a while. So now, let me ask you, have you had chicken? If yes, you are a cruel person and stop eating chicken and all other animals. If no, may I ask if you are eating any vegetables? vegetables have lives, thoughts, and feelings too! Why are you eating them? You lacking the ability to understand the plants does not mean that they do not have their feelings! I suggest you stop eating anything, not even water because there are lives in the water. lol so my point really is, in China, it is not common for all of us to eat or see people eating dogs and cats. Especially, the younger generation in modern cities mostly hates the idea of eating dogs and cats either. On the other hand, it is also not wrong for some Chinese people to eat them if they like.
What is your thought about this?
出门在外有时候被西方人问，你们中国吃狗肉猫肉吗？太残忍了吧？为什么要吃？哈哈哈被问到这个问题时我都觉得很搞笑。中国人到底吃不吃狗猫肉？首先，中国是一大国，不同地区吃的非常不一样。我们说在现代城市，特别是一些年轻人，人们一般是不吃狗肉的，也不喜欢看到别人吃狗肉。但是在偏农村地区，狗肉好啊，本来就穷，食物选择也不多，哪像你们这些有钱人。而且中国有说法，狗肉性热，在冬天吃能够去寒，为啥不吃。
这时候有人要说了，狗啊猫啊是人类的好朋友，他们有情感，有思想，所以不能吃。我想说狗就如任何一其他动物，他们都有感情和思想，你为什么要吃其他肉？人类无法理解其他动物的感情和思想并不代表他们没有感情。比如说我小石湖养过一只鸡，我给他起名字，和他抱抱，和他玩，疼爱得不得了，结果被我妈杀了吃。我难过了好一段时间。这时我要问了，请问你吃过鸡吗？如果吃过的话我想说你真“残忍”，你应该停止吃鸡肉，以及其他任何动物的肉哈哈哈。如果你说你素食主义，我想说植物也有感情和生命，你不应该吃任何植物了，其实也别喝水了，水里也有无数的生命。哈哈哈。
我的结论是，中国现代城市里吃狗肉不是普遍的现象，在一些农村的话确实是。我个人是不会选择吃狗肉，但我不认为吃狗肉的人有错。虽然小时候我被爸妈骗说是兔子肉，结果吃了狗肉。
