What's the difference between pigs, cows, sheep and dogs? Why is it okay to eat the former but eating the latter causes outrage?

My understanding is that the outrage is over the method in which the dogs are kept/killed. Some (many?) are burned/boiled alive to release endorphins/chemicals which is said to enhance the flavor:
