If it's not endangered than it's all fair game. Who has the right to draw the line on what animal should or should not be eaten, hunted, or farmed? There are different cultures and different perspectives on what animals are a norm to eat. There is NO single set of rules for the world to follow when it comes to eating animals. Mankind has been eating all kinds of animals for millenniums and there are all kinds of animals that has been extinct either by man itself or nature (think dinosaurs) before and yet we haven't stop eating meat and never will.

I agree with your reasoning, and as you pointed out, humans have been eating animals since the Garden of Eden. Nevertheless, I think some animals made a special social compact with Man early in our history and should be treated as more than cattle. Loyalty of dogs to man is deep to the point where they willingly put themselves in harms way for us, and IMHO man should return canine loyalty by not using them as culinary delicacy.

Chimpanzees are classified as endangered and are therefore protected by law in most countries. Farm raising an endangered species doesn't make it legal to kill and eat them. The same doesn't apply to dogs. In some countries dogs are also protected but not for the same reason. If you're using level of intelligence as an argument, be aware that there are no conclusive evidence suggesting that pigs or cows are any less intelligent than dogs. The reason more people hate seeing dogs being used as food than they do with other animals is because dogs are more sociable with people and withoutare easier to keep as a companion, therefore more people develops an emotional connection with them. But does this warrant the act of enforcing such value onto other people who hold different views, making it a universal ethic? How well does this argument hold when even in countries where dog eating were wholly or partially prohibited (e.g. United States), millions of dogs continue to be "humanely" killed every year so that people can keep the streets clean and safe?

I think the bigger problem about eating dogs in China is the lack of regulation and its enforcement in dog farming. The source of meat dogs were poorly regulated and the acts of thieves stealing other people's pets/work dogs and selling them to restaurants still happens here and there. This has already caused multiple human causalities including dog owners being killed by poisoned darts and dog thieves being beaten to death by angry villagers. The government need to take a more active stance in managing these problems, but then there's also a whole bunch of other problems that they need to improve on.
