No that is NOT normal here. Never heard of anything like that here. Also President Milei is a huge dog lover so anyone abusing dogs are going to be in deep doggie doo.

Definitely never heard of something like this in Argentina. Dogs are loved here.

The fact that she got arrested shows you this is not accepted here. I have never heard of anything like this in Argentina. Parts of Asia yes but not here. The lady seems so calm in her rationale.

Wow! Was shocked to read some of the comments. That poster is saying it's ok to kill dogs and eat them? He commented that some places still kill horses and eat them. Is this common?

Thank you all for confirming eating dogs is NOT common in Argentina. I didn't know people ate horses. Shocking Argentina kills 200,000 horses a year to export them to other countries that do eat them. This shouldn't be a thing.
