In their defense, however, the trend demonstrates how quickly and dramatically attitudes toward pets — particularly dogs — have changed in many parts of Asia. In Taiwan, for example, just 10 years ago, dogs were still eaten in public restaurants and raised on farms for that purpose. Traditional Chinese medicine held that so-called “fragrant meat” from dogs could fortify one’s health.
