Question

Do Vietnamese still eat dogs and cats?

Answer 1

Not true.  In Korea they resorted to eating dogs...as the result of a famine.  The younger generations don`t do it anymore.   Stop spreading lies, ignoramus.

They don't eat them but they drink they're blood.

They put it on a plate let it dry and serve food on top of it.

Answer 11

"Yes" to the dog question.  If you have the stomach, the proof is in the first link.  If you want more "fluffy" proff, the 3rd link is a BBC article regarding the raising of canines for human consumption in VietNam.

Despite the chorus of "Nos" your Question is getting, any unbiased net-search will reveal that the truth is the opposite.  Western values reject the idea that dogs and cats can be considered "food."  As a vegetarian and dog-owner, I find the idea of eating dogs no more disgusting than the idea of eating fish or chicken.

Here's a copy/paste from wikipedia regarding dog-meat consumption.  As info from wikipedia is just a shade more reliable than info from YA, you can do your own corroboration of their sources:

Vietnam

While it is not considered a daily meat, dog meat is eaten throughout Vietnam. It is more popular in the North than in the South. To many Northerners, dog meat is a popular, if relatively expensive, dinnertime restaurant meal. The term thịt chó, Vietnamese for 'dog meat', is used widely in the North. However, places selling dog meat in the South tend not to use the term, using instead "thịt cầy" (Chow Chow meat) or other word plays to conceal the meat's origin.

In Nhật Tân Street, Tây Hồ District, Hanoi, many restaurants serve dog meat, often imitating each other. Groups of male customers, seated on mats, will spend their evenings sharing plates of dog meat and drinking beer. Dog meat is supposed to raise the libido and is sometimes considered unsuitable for women; in other words, eating dog meat serves as a male bonding exercise. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for women to eat dog meat.

The consumption of dog meat can be part of a ritual usually occurring toward the end of the lunar month for reasons of astrology and luck. Restaurants which mainly exist to serve dog meat may only open for the last half of the lunar month.

Popular ways of preparing dog meat include stewing or grilling cubes or patties of meat. Dogs' feet are particularly popular.

In urban areas of the north, increasing incomes have sparked a search for new and more exotic recipes. There are about seven dishes featuring dog meat, and they often include the head, feet and internal organs.[20]

Answer 13

that is a myth.It is true that VC soldiers did sometimes, but that was purely a survival tactic during the war...anybody would do the same to avoid starvation
