"Also the only reason that dog is not legal to eat in Europe or the US is because there are no health standards for slaughtering them (unlike pigs). You can't just take an animal of the street, kill it and serve it in your restuarant, that's not sanitary, and that is what is illegal, not the actual eating of dog. If I wanted to kill and eat my dog I would have every right to do so as long as I wasn't serving it to others."
That is not the ONLY reason. It is inhumane to slaughter a DOMESTIC animal and eat it. That is why it's not done. The "Americans" that would do this, are generally from other countries.
