That statement is a function of cultural ignorance, so it is understandable, but in Indonesia, dog to them is as cow to us. If you did not know that, you do now.
Quote from Lucrum:
So they have dog ranches and dog slaughter houses over there do they?
You're right, I didn't know that. What's a dog ribeye go for over there anyway?

You may want to send a memo to Wikipedia.
"The main meat source diet mostly are poultry and fish, however meats such as beef, water buffalo, goat and mutton are commonly found in Indonesian marketplaces...."
Funny how they don't mention dog as a primary food source. Why is that Mr. Know-it-all?
Quote from RCG Trader:
Indonesia
Dog meat is haram for Muslims and as such, it is not consumed by most of Indonesia's predominantly Muslim population. However, dog meat is eaten by several of Indonesia's non-Muslim minorities....The consumption of dog meat in Indonesia is mainly practiced by remote tribes and does not appear to be a widespread phenomena, given that Indonesia's population is largely Muslim.
In Indonesia, the consumption of dog meat is usually associated with the Minahasa, an ethnic group in northern Sulawesi, and Bataks of northern Sumatra, who consider dog meat to be a festive dish and usually reserve it for special occasions like weddings and Christmas.
