Another Instagram user, Sonali, commented, "So disgusted so see people accepting barbaric practices and saying "That's the beauty of travel". Before anyone attacks me saying it's the local culture, A) they are not living in the Amazon to kill an innocent animal for survival. B) There is absolutely no excuse for torturing animals in 2024. And eating a dog is nothing different from eating a chicken, goat, cow or fish."
"I'm offended. Why eat a dog?" added someone else.
