'...Dog theft is a crime that is hard to measure in statistics. Some have put the number of total pet thefts at 2 million a year...
Whatever the numbers, dogs are stolen for several reasons:
Money. This may take the form of an outright ransom, but the usual method is to wait for a reward to be posted, then call the dog's owners and say they found him wandering around.
Dog fighting. This may seem unusual because most stolen dogs have sweet temperaments – otherwise a thief may be deterred. Unfortunately, dogs are either "conditioned" to fight by cruel training methods, or used as "bait" to train other dogs to fight.
Cult rituals. Often done for kicks, black dogs (and cats) are at particular risk around Halloween.
Some animal rights and welfare people also say that stolen dogs often wind up at laboratories across the country. Under a procurement practice called "random source collection," the U.S. Department of Agriculture licenses individuals to sell animals to laboratories.'
I read a newspaper article about dogs being transported to a restaurant.
what is wrong with that? I wouldn't eat a dog, but why can't someone else?
Now I've read it all.
I don't have a problem with different cultures eating dogs raised as food, for food. Much the same as I don't have a problem with our culture eating pork.
There is not much difference from my estimation.
Now because of my personal relationship with dogs, I wouldn't eat one, but I don't find any issues with others doing so.

Although in all fairness, I hear that the way dogs are killed for food is pretty barbaric: that they're beaten to death to increase their adrenaline before the point of death. I don't think any animal should be beaten to death.
As far as I know, the country where dog meat is the most prevalent is Korea.
I think every country eats something pretty funky don't they?
I mean we eat Emu, Kangaroo and now friggin Camel don't we? Mind you I think if you tried to bash any of those animals you might get your guts ripped out!

Just a guess, but I'll say 30.
