It's a cultural thing, some cultures don't eat cows, some don't eat pigs.

I washed down stir-fried dog with $150 congac in Guilin, China. Tastes like mutton. FWIW, dog meat is illegal in most of China and most Chinese find it almost as repulsive as Westerners. The exception to dog-meat phobia are the very southern provinces of China, parts of SE Asia, Manchuria, Korea, and historically, Polynesia. Only the Chinese from Guandong Province (ie Cantonese) are known to eat cats. And some SE Asians too. I have 3 cats and I threaten to eat them on a near-daily basis.

EDIT: just cross-checked my statements online, and apparently people eat cats in Korea, Peru, and.... Switzerland? LOL.

Ha, ditto for the Swiss and dog meat too:

According to the November 21, 1996, edition of the Rheintaler Bote, a Swiss newspaper covering the Rhine Valley area, the rural Swiss cantons of Appenzell and St. Gallen are known to have had a tradition of eating dogs, curing dog meat into jerky and sausages, as well as using the lard for medicinal purposes. Dog sausage and smoked dog jerky remains a staple in the Swiss cantons of St. Gallen and Appenzell, where one farmer was quoted in a regional weekly newspaper as saying that "meat from dogs is the healthiest of all. It has shorter fibres than cow meat, has no hormones like veal, no antibiotics like pork."[77]

A few years earlier, a news report on RTL Television on the two cantons set off a wave of protests from European animal rights activists and other concerned citizens. A 7000-name petition was filed to the commissions of the cantons, who rejected it, saying it wasn't the state's right to monitor the eating habits of its citizens.

The production of food from dog meat for commercial purposes, however, is illegal in Switzerland

Cat is very popular in Vietnam as well. My ex and my favorite restaurant was a French Vietnamese place in Richmond, VA. We used to drive up to Richmond every other weekend to eat there. we were always threatening our cast we would bring them with us when they misbehaved...which was often.
