At present there is no law against eating dog in China as this is a traditional food. As an example the 4th annual Yulin, Shaanxi food fair in May 29, 2011 saw about 15,000 dogs consumed in 10 days. There is draft legislation (proposed at the start of 2010) which aims to prohibit the consumption of dog meat. The effectiveness this legislation will have is questionable.

The slaughter and consumption of dog meat is illegal in Hong Kong, however.

Why do Chinese people eat dogs?

Most Chinese people don't eat dogs. The minority who do eat dogs only eat it probably because they simply have nothing better to eat. In some places in China it is referred as a 'delicacy', which is very similar to other countries, for example, France with horse meat. Another Answer: Most Chinese people do not eat dogs, and it is illegal in Hong Kong. However, the reason why dog consumption has prominence in China is because, unlike the West, humans and dogs in China did not have such a comfortable relationship. Many people starved, and since they had nothing better to eat, dogs were eaten. Similarly, the West did not have a super-comfortable relationship with cattle, unlike the Indians who frequently revere them as sacred (Hindus only).
