Giản thể: 中国人吃狗吗
“中国人吃狗吗？”，这个问题，无论是中国人还是外国人，都不是很喜欢。中国人会觉得，这个问题很不礼貌；对于外国人来说，“吃狗”是一件很可怕的事情。那么，中国人吃狗吗？
首先，必须承认，中国的汉族人以前是吃狗的。因为在古代的时候，除了鸡、鸭、猪之外，中国人也把狗作为食物的来源之一。狗肉是一种特别的美味，当有客人的时候，人们会拿出狗肉给客人吃，来表示自己的友好。吃狗在中国是一种传统的习惯。其实，中国还有一些其他的民族，他们是不吃狗的。蒙古族就不吃狗，因为狗能够帮助他们打猎，是很重要的朋友。
在很多国家，狗是很好的朋友。它们这么可爱，为什么要吃掉它们？这是很多人不理解中国人吃狗的一个原因。其实现在大部分中国人，也特别爱狗。他们家里会养狗做宠物，所以很少人还会吃狗。只有在很少几个地方，还保留着吃狗的传统。
在吃狗这件事情上，中国人被批评，还有一个原因是一些人对待狗的方式非常残忍。特别是在一些小城市，人们还会捕捉街上的流浪狗，用很残忍地方式去杀死它们，这些都让爱狗的人觉得很难受。还有一些人会去解救被捕捉的流浪狗。
我们都觉得，如果有一个合理健康的狗肉产业，吃狗没有什么错。只是，如果用不人道的方式去对待狗，对待任何其他一种生命，都应该受到批评！

English: Do Chinese eat dog?
“Do Chinese eat dog?” This is a question that no-one likes – whether foreigner or Chinese. Chinese people would consider this question impolite, and as far as foreigners are concerned, “eating dog” is horrible. So, do Chinese eat dog?
First of all, one must admit that in the past the Han Chinese did eat dog. Because in ancient times, besides chicken, duck and pork, the Chinese also took dog-meat as a source of food. Dog meat was a special delicacy; when there were guests, people would give them dog meat to eat in order to show their friendliness. Eating dog meat is a traditional custom in China. Actually, China also has some other ethnicities which don’t eat dog. Mongols don’t eat dog because dogs are capable of helping them hunt, and are a very important friend.
In many countries dogs are a great friend. They are so cute; why would one want to consume them? This is one reason many people don’t understand why the Chinese eat dog. Actually these days, most Chinese also particularly love dogs. They have dogs at home as pets. So very few people still eat dog. It’s only in a few places that they still keep the tradition of eating dog.
The Chinese have been criticized for eating dog, and another reason for this is that the way some people treat dogs is extremely cruel. This is especially true in smaller cities where people still capture stray dogs and use very cruel methods to kill them, which upsets dog lovers. There are also people who will rescue captured street dogs.
We all think that if there were a reasonable and sound dog-meat industry, eating dog-meat wouldn’t be so bad. It’s just that if you employ inhumane methods when dealing with dogs, or dealing with any other animal, you deserve to be criticized.
