Although i can kind of see it scaring off possible diners. So i think it would be something the restaurants would decide on their own.

it's probably for the best. Show of good faith and sensitivity to other culture's love of not eating dogs.

Exactly my thoughts. Do I want to do it? No. Do I think it's sick and disgusting? Yes. But that's just because of where/how I was raised. I know that.

And yeah, def. can see it keeping some visitors out of places so that's something I could see the restaurants wanting to not "advertise" while the Olympics are going on.

Definitely not something they have to do, but shows a nice balance of caring of other cultures, something we don't always do ourselves.
