Can somebody from Switzerland confirm and describe this? Various sources, including BBC confirmed this in 2014, as a logical development from liberal/libertine principle: "If its your property, you can do anything with it".
I'd appreciate facts.

Thank you!

"I thank myself for being a weirdo, which I am called because I eat Dogs, I am better with a killed dog on the plate than boiled Omar or Fish semen - called caviar."
Voted up: 144 down: 63
and so on. I assume most of the voters were Swiss as its an internal newspaper.
Also this (Sirius Global Animal, NGO).
Some videos I found: Eating dogs, Interview with Zellweger
Edit 2 (opinions from Swiss GOG customers):

Gersen: It's definitely not "common" (i.e you are not going to have cats or dogs server in a restaurant) but I have already heard that some peasant or in some states it can happen from time to time, mostly by older peoples.
It's mostly a fake outrage that pop up in the news from time to time, mostly in free tabloid newspaper, but most peoples don't give a damn about it either way. 
Siannah: (....)
Fact is, I live for nearly 5 decades in this country and neither have I heard of such a case before nor could I point at anyone who did it.
But I would assume you could find 5 guys in ANY country, who anonymously would admit that they did.
(....) (swearing) Siannah: ... "sos chats noiraigue".... (issued) the petition and pretty much everything else is about media picking up the claim of Swiss eating cats - congratulations, you've just found the source of it.
Another "it's a hoax" link from Pranksters.com that you missed in your "research".

There's nothing wrong with a law to forbid it. The "problem" is that we're rather liberal and don't what everything regulated by law. It's downright insane to drive around in winter time without winter tires here, yet they aren't compulsory by law.
