I hope they keep that dog on a leash. Tết is coming up soon and there’ll be lots of firecrackers going off. If a dog is found on the streets of VN, it’s gonna end up in the market or in a pot. If it’s lucky, it might land in another household. But considering that it’s a holiday… (Source: am Vietnamese)

What you said is true. I don't know why you got downvoted.

Most of the dog meat in Vietnam is stolen and illegal. The government can't ban this because there are too many people who just don't care and call it "unique culture," even though the majority of Vietnamese hate it. They even display the BBQ dog right on the street.

If you're from Vietnam, then you should raise awareness of this problem instead of hiding it.

It is unknown how much of the dog meat in restaurants are stolen or thievery. No one has done any research about it. Sure, we have dog farms (yes, we do, it surprises me too), but how much percentage nation-wide and how much restaurant-specific the meat is from a far is... unknown.

Really, they should think about the karma...Stealing and eating people's pet, what horrible act.
