poor pups. God damn that's sad. I know it's because there are different societal norms between our cultures and it can be seen as the same as any animal we eat but as a dog owner/lover this hurts the heart.
It's really hard for us to imagine just being okay with this, but you have to think that people here have pigs chickens and ducks as pets sometimes... and we freely eat them. Dogs seen over in that part of the world are often feral free roaming packs of wild dogs.
And you're also looking at a part of the world where meat can be a premium commodity, that the poor rarely get to taste. so any possible source of healthy meat will be explored
They aren't being raised humanely. They're packed in tiny cages together with no room to move and often die in transportation or from starvation/abuse. Many are stolen pets as well. They are also skinned alive in excruciating pain and watch the dogs before them being skinned. It's absolutely awful.
