That’s crazy of course. Even if a pooch got loose from you, I wouldn’t view that as a license to make dog fricassee. No civilized person would.
Again, I've said nothing on this thread that approaches excusing or condoning his behavior...merely speculating about the motives.
And yes...if you were starving to death and one of my dogs is all that stood between you and certain death, I could understand you eating him. I may not like it, but I value human life that much. Now, from all the additional info that's played out, that does not appear to be the case here, but that wasn't readily obvious from the initial article.
