wtf is sick about eating dogs? when compared to smarter animals like pigs.

The problem is that we selectively bred dogs for looking cute/being loyal/being useful in some way (hunting, searching for truffles etc). We selectively bred pigs for better tasting/more meat. Therefore, we have a creature that we can relate to better vs. one we cannot, so we naturally don't want people eating dogs.
I don't have a problem with it on an intellectual level, but it's bad on an emotional level and that's what ultimately tells us what to do.
