Yes, how dare we not find something disgusting when it involves animals that we are very attached to in our culture. We're not allowed to find eating dogs disturbing without it becoming a 'b-b-but, muh culture! Stupid Americans!" thing.

Let me tell you how human thinking works: not objectively. Something you culturally believe is morally wrong, you're not going to suddenly find right because it's normal in another culture. Why is it that only Americans get flak for this? I'm pretty sure we're not the only ones that do it because we're human beings and that's how we think.

So yes, I think eating dogs is unthinkable. I would be disgusted with anyone who ate one. Does that mean I'm not aware of our own meat industry problems? No. Does that mean I don't know that other animals have the same level of intelligence? No. However, I didn't grow up caring for a pig like a beloved pet.
