It's just another excuse people have concocted because they like the taste of cow/pig/chicken/fish flesh. Many people support this, particularly affluent types, who have become dog and cat people and now own them as "pets." All they do thereafter is replace cows with chickens and pigs and fish.

And I received confirmation of something I've known since 2004, when we adopted retired racing greyhound, Violet Rays: That there's sort of a critical period for dog-behavior acquisition, and if it's missed, the dog isn't likely to mature into the type of loving being whose behavior we've come to associate with "pet" dogs.
