In India cows are sacred.
In Hawaii (traditional culture) and Korea dogs are eaten-these of course are not Yorkies but a breed of wild dogs.
Same in Australia.
In Germany horse is an upscale meat.
Personally I boycott Chinese goods because of the government's choices on humanitarian policy, political choices and of course animal treatment-don't buy any fur products from China in the least, coats and scarves are often made of dogs not rabbits or even synthetic fur as labeled.
However to each their own preference in dietary choices-my only hang up is just because you are going to eat it doesn't mean you shouldn't treat it Inhumanely.
The only chicken I eat (yes eggs too I also only consume hormone and antibiotic free) is free ranging.
When I go to the local burger places (Toni's Surf Side Burger Shack Philly Cheese Stake Shoppe) I occasionally eat cow-local grass fed organically raised free ranging cows-I even know the farmers and wave to the cows when we drive by them! You are what you eat and I beleive in karma also so while I am a carnivore I prefer my meat lived a decent life and was humanely treated and humanely slaughtered.
