And Antarctic, too :-)
Roald Amundsen in "South Pole" was very exited about this unique feature
of dogs that you can feed dogs to dogs and to humans.
They loved and and worshipped their dogs but did not hesitate to kill
and ate a dog when they could not use it anymore.Fascinating to read.

Nations that eat dogs consider them as livestock - not different from cow.
Different culture, that's all. In Africa they eat apes.
