I think people here are in culture shock LDS. Although I do agree with you that Trinis should not be so judgmental since they eat wild meat including monkeys, but I suppose no one has ever seen or heard anyone eating dog meat. I believe that what the uproar over this incident is, the Chinese man is actually a chef to the construction workers and he just walked somewhere and picked up this dead dog from the road. As a human being, I consider this to be very disgusting to pick up a road kill like a human vulture and prepare it for dinner.
This incident and article will shed a negative light on all the Chinese who are currently here in Trinidad. In addition to this, the Chinese restaurants, especially the new ones which are opening recently in South, Central and even in the West, will be negatively affected by this, since people are going to question what kind of meat is being served: chicken, beef or dog meat? In the article, the mother of the guy who took the pictures said that she was so upset about this incident that she refused to eat food from the Chinese restaurants in Port of Spain. This incident will indeed hurt sales in all Chinese restaurants, even the reputable ones.
