While I'm not saying to turn a blind eye to anything that you feel passionately about, we have our own battles to fight in the US before we can fight other countries' battles.

And yes, eating dog and cat meat is very normal in other countries. Not negating the abuse that happens to those poor dogs and cats in the process, but just to say that, in some countries, this is a normal course of life for them.
