Iran extends ban on dog-walking for ‘public order, safety and health’

***snip***


On Saturday, the state newspaper Iran said the latest measures were aimed at “maintaining public order, ensuring safety and protecting public health”.

Abbas Najafi, the prosecutor of the western city of Hamedan, was quoted by the Iran newspaper, as saying: “Dog walking is a threat to public health, peace and comfort.”

In 2021, 75 lawmakers condemned pet ownership as a “destructive social problem”, saying it could “gradually change the Iranian and Islamic way of life”.

In 2017, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said: “Keeping dogs for reasons other than herding, hunting and guard dogs is considered reprehensible.”

Of course they are evil because they are anti-woman and anti-LGBTQ+
But such regimes are a dime a dozen.

But saying dogs are "reprehensible?" That's a unique kind of evil.
Congrats Iran!!!
