There is no scientific evidence that dog meat has the functions of promoting blood circulation, invigorating qi, strengthening yang, improving kidney function and helping digestion. On the contrary, dog meat has proved to be no more nutritious than pork and chicken.

In the dog meat market, we often see many dogs still wearing collars. This shows that they used to be some people's pets. Some people think that there are two kinds of dogs, one is a meat dog and the other is a pet dog. However, in the dog meat market, it is often seen that purebred dogs and pet dogs are sold as food, which makes this statement self-defeating.

As carnivores, cats and dogs are different in temperament and physiology from other food livestock that are usually raised in a centralized way.

Humans have never kept carnivores as domestic animals, partly because they are difficult to keep, but also because they are more likely to transmit animal diseases to humans.
