text: why does the law( at least in the philippines) prohibits the killing of dogs as food consumption? i personally dont eat dogs, but few filipinos do specially the minority groups.its kind of cultural but the law prohibits them. when the muslims protested the raising/killing/eating of pigs, the lawmakers just ignored it. same thing happened to the hindus who protested the killing of cows. why does the law allows chinese to kill and eat cats?  it is because most lawmakers are christians? even the bible did not prohibit it.  what about in your country? well, maybe you're kind of true! maybe it is because the majority of the law makers are christians, that's why they only prohibits whatever that will benefits them.  and that is all it!  by the way, why should they eat the dog, anyway?there're lots of animals to be eaten, yet healthier and taste better for sure!
