Why do many children in western nations love cute widdle fluffy lambs, but a lot of adults eat roast lamb?
Same reasons:
为什么在西方国家，很多孩子喜欢可爱的小羊羔，而很多成年人却喜欢吃烤羊肉?
原因是一样的

I am not that familiar with these cultures, but I do know some cultures do not value dogs the same as others. The cruelty that is shown towards dogs is heartbreaking but on that same note farm animals are often treated in similar inhumane and horrifying ways. Children learn from the people around them and if never form a strong bond with a pet dog then they probably just look at them as a pest and occasional food. Dogs are incredibly loyal and even when mistreated they still have unconditional love for their owner. The Yulin Dog Meat festival is so horrifying and it’s inconceivable to me how people can be so incredibly cruel to “mans best friend”
我对这些国家的文化不是很熟悉，有些国家并不像其他国家一样看重狗。对狗狗的残忍令人心碎，同样的，农场里的动物也经常被虐待。孩子们有样学样，如果他们从来没有和宠物狗建立起亲密的联系，那么他们可能只是把它当成畜生，偶尔也会拿来吃。狗狗非常忠诚，即使受到虐待，仍然无条件地爱主人。玉林狗肉节太恐怖了，我无法想象人们怎么能对“人类最好的朋友”如此残忍。

Eating dogs is something they do in some places, just as cute ducks and rabbits and pigs and goats and lambs and calves, etc are eaten.
Dogs are not the most practical creatures to raise for meat, because they eat meat.
At some point, one can hope the culture will get past the tradition. Adults see dogs raised for food as livestock, not like “pets” and the dogs born for that purpose are never treated as pets.
the practice becomes less popular every year, but some things are going to persist as long as people who want them have not died off and they are not made illegal.
Impotent, horny, old men in some places still pay to eat the body parts of endangered and nearly extinct species….which does NOTHING for them, when they could pay a lot less for Viagra.
The people who make money selling the things? Will do it until they can no longer make money.
有些地方吃狗，就和有些地方吃鸭子、兔子、猪、山羊、羊羔和小牛仔一样稀松平常。
狗也要吃肉，不是人类最划算的肉食动物
在一些地方，阳痿、好色的老男人仍然花钱吃濒临灭绝物种的某些器官……这对他们毫无益处，他们可以买伟哥，还更便宜。
没有买卖，就没有杀害

Hi, my friend
In fact, there are a lot of children love dogs all over the world. They treat dogs as their best friends and play with them. They think dogs are cute and active who can understand their naive world.
Why adults from those countries eat dog meat? That’s a question so difficult to answer. Just like some people can not believe that why people eat pork. There are many factor cause it. For example, their culture, custom, tradition and so on.
嗨，朋友
全世界有很多孩子喜欢狗。他们把狗当作最好的朋友，和它们一起玩。狗很可爱，谁能理解孩子天真的世界。
为什么成年人吃狗肉?这是一个很难回答的问题。就像有些人不敢相信为什么人们会吃猪肉。原因有很多。有文化因素，也有习俗、传统等使然
Children loves lamb, calves, piglets and baby chooks, but that did not stop western adults from eating beef, chicken and pork.
Dogs just a part of their tridional meat source. Same as deers and bear meat in lots of regions, its not a nessary, but it does have a unique flavour to attract certain people to eat.
孩子们喜欢羔羊、小牛仔、乳猪和鸡，西方成年人还不是照样吃牛肉、鸡肉和猪肉。
狗只是这些国家传统肉类来源的一部分，就像很多地区吃鹿肉和熊肉一样。狗肉不是必备食谱，但它确实味道独特，一些人就好这口。
