Is the increase in dog thieves due to Vietnamese people eating dog meat?

Many people believe that eating dog meat is the reason for the high number of dog thefts in our country. They believe that if people did not eat dog meat, dog theft would not occur.

I think differently, in fact, eating dog meat has been around for a long time, but dog theft has only recently become a problem. The combination of technology: electric shock, guns and the speed of motorbikes makes it easier for dog thieves to escape and fight back.

What makes the community angry here is that dog thieves are becoming more and more reckless and daring, but the penalties for them are too low. They only need to pay a fine of a few hundred thousand to be released, so it does not affect the economy. They know very well that if they are caught, they will be beaten to death, so they recklessly fight back regardless of the consequences.

Eating dog meat or any other animal meat cannot be judged right or wrong based on personal opinion. After all, thieves are still thieves, if they don't steal dogs, they will steal other things.

If the local government does a good job in managing the situation, the crime will be reduced. Everyone knows that a young man who spends all day hanging around, has no job but has a lot of money, then the money must have come from crime. The question is, can the law punish dog theft?
