In Viet Nam mostly the old northerners and punks. In Sai Gon it is available in a couple of cafés but you have to hunt for them. In the north it is more easily found but still not common. There are occasional fads among the street punks and lots of dogs get stolen over a few months until the fad fades out. Raising dogs to eat is a long term project and is not something undertaken in anticipation of fads. One reason the fads don't last is that to be palatable a dog's diet has to be controlled, rice and vegetables only. The stolen dogs from the villages have more varied diets and some eat occasional meat which renders them unfit for the table. I applaud the villagers for dealing with the problem directly.
