"Cancel your dinner plans. CNN has something new on the menu for you. \nA CNN op-ed titled \"The Argument for Eating Dog\" published Wednesday by columnist John Sutter profiles the illegal dog meat market and suggests that eating dogs could be less cruel than euthanizing them. Sutter goes on to say that while he couldn't bring himself to eat dog meat, it is curious that meat eaters in the United States have no problem with killing and eating other animals.  \nSee also: 10 Dogs That Eat Like Humans\nUnsurprisingly, CNN's tweet about the story sparked harsh criticism on Twitter with many canine lovers appalled at turning man's best friend into man's best dinner. \n\nWe euthanize 1.2M dogs a year. It's tough to hear, but @jdsutter asks: Would eating them be so different? http://t.co/4pDgKh9Ovz @CNNOpinion\n\u2014 CNN (@CNN) July 23, 2014\n\nThere were even some pooches who had a word for CNN. But we'll give CNN the benefit of the doubt; the network was referring to hot dogs, guys. Lots and lots of hot dogs. \n\n\nCNN Is Eating Dogs \n\n\n\n\n\n.@CNN so should I eat my dog or not, because my oven is preheated and ready to go.\u2014 Jon Tayler (@JATayler) July 23, 2014\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease don't eat my dog, @CNN.\u2014 Gourmet Spud (@gourmetspud) July 23, 2014\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n.@CNN What do I do about this dog?
