Are they nice to eat?--178.99.232.11 (talk) 00:10, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has an article titled Dog meat. You can start your research there. --Jayron 32 00:13, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Having worked in Africa, where hunting for game was a part of life, I have eaten a lot of unusual meats. The general principle is that meat from carnivorous mammals tends to be very strongly flavoured - to the point of being unpleasant. That does not apply to non-mammals: crocodile is delicious. I believe that dogs which are bred for food tend to be raised on a diet with very little meat in it. 81.132.106.10 (talk) 18:15, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Crocodiles say the same thing about us, don'cha know. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:26, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they're delicious. Does that answer your question? No it doesn't because it's purely subjective.--Ykraps (talk) 18:40, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking frankly, I find that dogs are especially good with mustard. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 22:11, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, yes. Those would be hot dogs presumably. :)--Ykraps (talk) 18:00, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But not just any mangy old hot dog, speaking frankly. InedibleHulk (talk) 14:24, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We cannot give legal advice (see the information at the top of this page). Talk to a lawyer. Bar association, law society, and government (e.g., court system) websites for your jurisdiction may have some helpful information. --71.110.8.102 (talk) 00:50, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also please do not post all capitals. It means you are shouting. Thanks.--ColonicLog (talk) 01:40, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You can also contact a Student Law Clinic, if you are anywhere near a Law School. They will often take interesting or odd cases. The usual requirement is that you are poor/low income, since it is a "clinic", after all. But a phone call to them would not hurt. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 03:51, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
