Very little has been written on people’s attitudes to dogs in Vietnam. We collected data on this in two ways. First, relevant information on the history and current status of dog use and consumption was sourced from academic literature, newspaper reports, websites, and animal welfare organizations. Second, in 2004, the polling agency Market & Opinion Research International (MORI) was contracted to survey 1000 adults (15 years and above) in the cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City about dogs. Respondents were asked about their attitudes to the roles that dogs played in their society and whether or not they would support a ban on eating certain animals, including dogs. Of the participants, 46 % were male and 54 %female. Fifty-two percent of participants owned pet animals (this was the percentage for both cities): overall, 27 % had dogs, 30 %cats, 5 % a bird, and 6 %pets which were categorized as “other,” for example, fish, guinea pigs, and monkeys.

In line with this, most would support a ban on the eating of dogs. However, there was a major difference of opinion when residents of the two cities were compared: the majority of people living in the north (Hanoi), as opposed to the south (Ho Chi Minh City) were actually supportive of using dogs for food and would not support a ban on the eating of dogs. These keywords were…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
