Why do the chinese eat dogs are they sick in the head?
<|assistant|>
Chinese people do not necessarily eat all types of dogs, just particular kinds that are considered "delicacies" in specific regions and prepared in specific ways.  As is the case with many cultures around the world, the Chinese view of canines is quite complex and includes a variety of both negative and positive attitudes towards dogs.  For some families, they may view dogs as pets or companions, however, for others they are an important part of the culture, viewed as a type of culinary delicacy, as a symbol of luck or strength, or even as a status symbol.
