First of all, the dog meat sold in the market does not meet the current health and epidemic prevention requirements. As we all know, the slaughter and quarantine of pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry sold in the market are regulated, and they will only enter the market after passing the quarantine to ensure food safety and avoid zoonotic diseases. However, at present, there are no regulations on dog slaughter and quarantine in China, so there are no quarantine standards and strict quarantine measures for meat dogs, which also lays a safety hazard for eating dog meat, and there is a risk of "illness from the mouth".

Secondly, keeping a dog is different from raising pigs, cows, sheep and other animals. Other animals have been eating meat for a long time. But keeping a dog is different. Dogs are the most loyal animals of human beings. They have the ability to look after the home and play a very important role in the family. In their long-term relationship with humans, they have established a closer relationship than other animals. For example, dogs can bring happiness to people and help dispel loneliness. Therefore, from these angles, dogs should not eat.

Finally, defining dogs as human companion animals is also to guide people to think about the relationship between people and animals at a higher level, which is of guiding significance and also reflects the progress of modern human civilization.
