Definition
狗肉 literally means 'dog meat' and is consumed in some parts of China, especially in the northeast and certain festivals like the Yulin Dog Meat Festival. However, it is a highly controversial food — many Chinese people oppose eating dog meat, and it is stigmatized internationally. The word itself is neutral, but using it in conversation can carry strong cultural and ethical implications.
