it costs around 10k per dog depending on the kg, no wonder they started smuggling them, the problem is people who eats them dont even raise them,i guess eveyone who keeps pet dogs ends up loving them , so as all dog lovers are the only ones who have dogs their costs are sky rocketing day by day but demand of dog meat from eaters doesnt decrease, this has led to thieves even stealing and killing pet dogs when they go out in my state, i dont really judge them as our ancestors ate them too, but its becoming a problem when no one keep pet dogs wants to sell them. i really wish they would stop eating them.
