It's worth mentioning from a volume (if not moral - 1 dog eaten is 1 too many for me) perspective that its not legal in Swiss restaurants.  It appears to be a once a year xmas dish for rural Swiss farmers.   

 

C'mon swiss, can't you just eat another piece of chocolate?

 

To clarify, commercial slaughter and sale of dog meat is illegal in Switzerland, but farmers are allowed to slaughter dogs for personal consumption.

 

But that is kind of irrelevant. I guess it's not a regular thing here in China, too. In 25 years, I've only had it three times, I think. And I only used Switzerland as an example. I could have used many others. Some Native Americans eat it as do many countries across Africa and Asia. It was also eaten in many countries during the two World Wars when food was in short supply.
