The journal Science published an article entitled Dog breeds really do have distinct personalities — and they’re rooted in DNA.[3]
The aforementioned article in Science declares:
“ | American Kennel Club descriptions of dog breeds can read like online dating profiles: The border collie is a workaholic; the German shepherd will put its life on the line for loved ones. Now, in the most comprehensive study of its kind to date, scientists have shown that such distinct breed traits are actually rooted in a dog’s genes. The findings may shed light on human behaviors as well.[4] | ” |
Below is information relating to atheists and dog meat eating.

China and dog meat eating
See also: Communist China and cat meat eating and Atheistic China and baby eating and Atheism and China and Atheism and stealing
China has the world's largest atheist population and it practices state atheism.(see: China and atheism).[8][9]
Most atheists in the world are East Asian (see: Asian atheism).
Each year thousands of dogs are stolen in atheist, communist controlled China and as many as 20 million dogs are killed in China to satisfy the dog meat industry.[10] In China, Chinese gangs have cropped up that kidnap pet dogs to sell to dog meat traders.[11]
In 2009, The Star reported: "China's Chengdu Business Daily estimated recently that as many as 10,000 cats are consumed throughout Guangdong everyday." (see also: Communist China and cat meat eating).[12]
North Korea and dog meat eating
North Korea practices state atheism and belief in God is actively discouraged.[13]
In 2018, USA Today published an article entitled 'It’s healthier than other kinds of meat': North Koreans eat dog meat to beat the heat.[14] The USA Today article declares: "In North Korea, summer is not a good time to be a dog."[15]
Vietnam and dog meat eating
Officially, Vietnam is an atheist state.[17]
Many Vietnamese believe eating dog/canine meat increases stamina.[18]
In 2018, The Independent declared:
“ | Officials in Vietnam's capital are urging residents to avoid eating dog meat, as part of a move to eradicate rabies.
Hanoi's vice mayor Nguyen Van Suu also said that slaughtering dogs and cats for their meat was disturbing to foreigners and would "negatively impact the image of a civilized and modern capital." His message was published on the city's website. Suu also instructed local governments to raise awareness of the risk of rabies when consuming dog and cat meat. His move is part of an effort to stamp out rabies in Vietnam by 2021. The move is a contentious one as many Vietnamese believe that eating dog meat increases stamina and the dish is thought of as a delicacy. There are 493,000 dogs and cats in Hanoi, of which 10% are raised for commercial purposes, including for their meat.[19] |

Judaism and dogs
See also: Judaism and dogs
Rabbi Levi Welton wrote:
“ | ...I've often wondered if the Bible supports animal activism and what exactly God would say if I posed the question, "Do You love dogs?"
Dogs are the only animals in the Torah that receive a reward for their actions. When the Jewish slaves flee Egypt, it states "not one dog barked” (Exodus 11:7). As a reward for that, God said, "…and flesh torn in the field you shall not eat; you shall throw it to the dog[s]" (Exodus 22:30; Mechilta)... The notable sixteenth century Jewish leader, the Maharsha, says that a dog is a creature of love. Hence, the Hebrew name for a dog is "kelev" which is etymologically derived from the words "kulo lev" or "all heart"... Now remember that Adam and Eve were instructed by God to give all the animals of the world their Hebrew names (Genesis 2:19-20). When they made this personal connection with the beasts of the world, the names they chose were prophetically accurate so as to encapsulate the essence of each animal into a name that truly revealed its soul. (Bereishit Rabbah 17:4). Thus, one may extrapolate from this that the Hebrew name for a dog was precisely chosen to be indicative of the loving soul of this marvelous creature.[25] |
