Nothing at all, insofar as there's nothing wrong with eating meat in the first place.
Okay, eating a dog is a bit strange, and I'd find it sort of nasty if the dog in question wasn't a pitbull..

He really should have taken it to a dog pound if he was bored of it. But then, it was a pitbull which wouldn't have been likely to find a home. However, I'm not overly disgusted by his actions. We eat pigs, cows, chickens and many other animals, it's seems rather odd for western culture to shy away from eating other things.
And on a slightly related note, I wish to quote a gem:
"A dog is not just for christmas; there should be some left on boxing day too."

No, not really. Considering this quote from the article: "Under New Zealand's Animal Welfare Act it is legal to kill a dog if it is slaughtered swiftly and painlessly."
That seems like a fair law, the dog is his property after all and it wasn't particularly cruel to kill it.

Meh, the only difference between him eating his pet, and him eating packaged meat is that he did the deed himself and most of the animals eaten aren't domesticated. Maybe I should domesticate a deer and call those who eat venison scum.
It's all a matter of perspective, he hasn't done anything wrong in my eyes.

Basically all I can think of.ChromeAlchemist said:
If he ate almost any other creature then people would turn a blind eye. But just because it's a dog, we're gonna see many "It's so wrong!" opinions. What makes it any more "wrong" than eating the cooked flesh of a cow, pig or fish? Nothing at all.
Yes, the man is a dick.
He killed his pet because he was bored of it, when in reality he bought it so he should put up with the responsibility of owning it and taking care of it in a healthy manner.
You can't legally kill your child even if it was conceived on accident and you get tired of caring for your 'mistake', owning a pet falls under the same set of responsibility, only this time he never had to buy the animal in the first place. It makes no sense to punish the animal for this persons own idiocy.
I don't have a problem with him eating the animal, or if he had killed it for a legitimate reason (the current not being one of them).
Pit bulls are only violent since they are still used and bred for fighting, the person who wrote the article is an idiot.
The man who killed his dog out of boredom is just as much of an idiot, only for different reasons.

Godwin'ed already? It's only been two pages!
Also, a dog is a dog like any other animal. We eat meat from animals. The only time I vaguely draw the line is when you're talking about human or primate meat, mostly because of the dangerous diseases that can be passed by consumption of such (see prions and the possible origin of AIDS from consuming bush-meat). If the choice is between starving to death and eating your dead companion, however, even human meat can be fair game.
My biggest problem with so-called animal lovers is the fact that they refuse to acknowledge that humans are simply animals; a more intelligent and evolved animal but one nonetheless. Animals eat meat to survive. The end.
