Yes, it's very illegal. Don't ever sell, buy, or eat dog meat.

In the US Under current laws it is illegal to publicly buy or publicly sell dog meat for human consumption....However depending on the laws of the State in which you reside it may be completely legal for a person to eat dog meat provided the animal was harvested in a human manor..

The eating of dog meat is more common in the US than most people think,many ethnic groups consider dog meat to be a delicacy..

There are numerous States that have an open hunting season on coyotes(wild dogs) in which if a person chooses to eat the animal it is completely legal..

Several native tribes continue to eat dog meat. In the past, Americans from Ohio and New Jersey ate dogs as it was believed it could cure tuberculosis. In modern USA, dogs are viewed almost as family, and is therefore heavily taboo.

Yes.

Additional Information:

Many Native American tribes ate dogs frequently in the past, but not to many of them eat it now.

In the 1800's-early 1900's, dogs were eaten in parts of the USA, as believed to be a cure for tuberculosis, or just because of food shortages.

Today, dog meat is a very taboo meat in the USA, since many view dogs not only as pets, but as a part of the family.

However, some do eat dog meat when they visit places that serve it.

Why can't Americans eat dogs?

Some Americans DID eat dogs in the past. Dog meat was seen to be a cure for tuberculosis in the 19th century, and also as a source of food during food shortages. It was also a part of several Native traditions. Today, some Natives still eat dog meat, but it is not common. The reason why Americans do not eat dogs is because they have had an extended personal relationship with dogs over generations and have come to embrace them as pets only. It is not illegal, but heavily taboo, in a similar fashion to why Indians do not eat cattle.
