Dog meat is the flesh and other edible parts derived from dogs. Historically human consumption of dog meat has been recorded in many parts of the world.[4]
In the 21st century dog meat is consumed to a limited extent in China,[5] Vietnam,[6] Cambodia,[7] Laos,[8] Indonesia, North Korea, Nigeria,[9] Ghana, Switzerland,[10] and India;[11] In this region, the legality of dog meat consumption is marked by differences, with some areas permitting it or lacking a nationwide ban. Some cultures view the consumption of dog meat as part of their traditional, ritualistic, or day-to-day cuisine, and other cultures consider consumption of dog meat a taboo, even where it had been consumed in the past. Opinions also vary drastically across different regions within different countries.[12][13] It was estimated in 2014 that worldwide, 25 million dogs are eaten each year by humans.[14]
