Also, you cannot project your cultural connection to certain things on other people. We view dogs as family members, even sleeping with them, whereas other countries view them as a food source because they do not have that emotional connection. 

I have three dogs and love them like family, and am still haunted by a video of officers in China going around and bludgeoning dogs on the street in the head. I'm legit scarred and had bad dreams for weeks. But it's also important to note that in some countries, dogs are considered dangerous. They attack people on the street and spread disease. 

Sometimes, though I believe eating dogs is wrong, it is important to put things in context. Imagine there is a country that worships chickens, raises them as pets, dresses them up, sleeps with them, and takes Christmas card photos with them. Would you stop eating chicken? 

I know someone in real life who does that with their chickens. So yes it's hard and I need to compartmentalize and never bring up chicken with that person.
