I can't include whole comments, especially with swearing. But there is a arrow above each quote to open up the whole comment and if you dislike how I have formulated them, you are welcome to correct it.

What exactly should I question? I am collecting all types of evidence in this thread.

On top of it? Not on top of dog/cat eating, but on top of "advanced liberalism". You wrote yourself that reason why population does not want animal protection law to be passed is the high liberal values. From Blick comments: "Meat is meat", "dog meat is not worse than any meat", "if you own it, you are free to do anything with it".

There were already cases, where cannibals and pedophiles claimed that the victim willingly agreed to it . So, why you think that acts of pedophilia or cannibalism on the very same basis would present an exception under this rule set?

How am I disqualifying myself, when I just collect all types of evidence? For example, the video of swiss cat meat restaurant was included in OP, until we found out it to be a crafted fake - but I have not edited it out of my comments.

Whats genuine about it? The 3% value being without proof - yes; that Swiss have consumed dog and cats in recent past - yes; that SOS Chats are campaigning to forbid their consume - yes.

Claims that Swiss do not consume cats and dogs , and that population justifies dog/cat consume with 66% (using liberal values, as you wrote) were not refuted/addessed in "antihoax" sites.

Those little snippets were written by swiss citizens.

Blick site is swiss, article is in swiss, comments are in swiss, written by Swiss via Facebook, votes are to high degree Swiss. Lunatic? Pulling out of your ass? : /

That doesn't have to be mutual.

A bunch of butthurt dog lovers I see.

Yes, this is completely true. The practice is starting to die out, but people do still eat "meat dog" in China. As in dogs that are specifically raised for meat.

It's nice to see that in my absence people are still abusing the rating buttons.

I knew there was something important which i forgot. Thanks for reminding! Festival aside, there is a certain, dog breed, raised for meat exclusively, over there! They even skin and flay it and hook it right outside the meathouses, there.

I never understood though, why WE HERE, have to concern ourselves, with what chinese people eat inside their home, on their table! Did the chinese, like ever, interfered with our customs and diets, this way? Did the chinese ever come to get our cats and dogs, perchance?

Psss, then your typical hypocrites shout incoherently about "respect customs and traditions of other people/cultures" and never offend them, as always. The very same idiots who love murderers and rapists under our nose, but flip over some hard working honest folks enjoying their meat somewhere, faraway...

Also that is nowhere near "dying out". TCM practice still has deep roots in chinese culture; those feline and canine rabble has a lot more value and worth, than mere meat, they have many parts that become ingredients...

...what even is this thread? o_O

Nothing special... Some people simply confused Swiss cuisine with Chinese menus! Don't worry, it's settled already and all, nothing to see here (especially if you can't stomach it and all)!

Because they are extremely cruel in the process, needlessly so.

Because they believe in crap traditional "medicine" and consume endangered animals with disregard.

Because they eat the most disgusting things.

Because I can.

Not sure if it's true, but I've heard Russians eat Amur tiger penis and Asiatic black bear testicles.

I also hear the testciles are particularly tasty and chewy, great after a vodka bender.

I'm sure you'll find somebody eating anything anywhere anytime if you look hard enough.

Anyone :)

I'd just like to say I've been to China, and never saw any identifiable dog or cat meat in the wet markets! ;)
And the thing about the chinese, is that with their giant population and history of famine, they'll basically eat anything that provides nutrition in some way...
I mean, bird's nest soup as a delicacy? Who looks at a bird's nest and goes "yummy!"? The first person to eat a bird's nest must have been starving and desperate, imo.
For my part, being an unashamed carnivore, my rules (principles?) are: no eating of possibly sapient species like whales or dolphins, free ranging and humane treatment of meat animals, and never, ever, ever, ever tomatoes.

I suspect, though, in the inevitable zombie apocalypse, all my principles will vanish when I get hungry enough... :P

Edit: Change of word - "Sapient" from "intelligent".

As someone else mentioned - if our cats don't meat their quota for the month, they're gonna meat their maker...

Whomever that is :p

Didn't you already got your answer ? Eating cats and dogs during wartime in Europe was pretty common but today, apart maybe from some fringe older, "rural", part of the population who might still be going it occasionally it's extremely uncommon.

The thing is that it would be another stupid and useless law that would be a total waste of time, money and energy for everybody. It's already extremely uncommon and the few who might still do it are also those who wouldn't be impacted at all by such a law as even if it was "officially" illegal, nobody would waste any resources to go to every farm in the middle of nowhere to make sure that the smoked meat there is beef/horse and not cats or dogs.
