I can butcher it if she wants help. It shouldn't be too different from pigs.
(It's really precious though. Think on how many kilos of meat it has!)
Pigs are as smart as dogs. It's weird that harming onenis animal abuse and the other is breakfast. Especially when some cultures eat dogs as well.
Some of us don't draw a distinction at all. Shout-out to Elwood's Organic Dog Meat!
Dunno about other people, but in my case:
Wouldn't make much sense to raise dogs as livestock though, not enough meat on them and they pretty much need a diet that includes meat so it gets very expensive, especially for a dog that gets big enough to make a real steak from it...
That doesn't need to stop us. We got pretty good with breeding animals for specific traits. So you could take dogs which are very massive and breed them until they yield even more meat. Just like we did and do with cows and pigs. Also it is possible to feed dogs on a plant based diet, so it wouldn't be that much more expensive. (Besides, meat is extremely cheap due to subsidies. It costs much more to have a plant based diet, especially if it's organically grown. You could also use meat scraps as it is also done for pet food. Further lowering the price.)
