IRAN: Pet-product advertising banned as dog owners come under fire | Babylon & Beyond | Los Angeles Times

IRAN: Pet-product advertising banned as dog owners come under fire | Babylon & Beyond | Los Angeles Times

"Iranian authorities are cracking down, but this time their target isn't political dissidents or drug traffickers. It's dogs. Or rather, pets in general."

Well, finally the Iranian government is getting to the heart of the matter! Dogs are a corrupting Western influence. It's shocking that the crack down on pets didn't come sooner. What in dogs name has the world come to? Iran was clearly going to the dogs. And who knows what kind of sinful behavior bowser and meow-miu would have promoted?! Good dog! people being kind to animals?! How anti-Iranian can you get? Such corruption.

Imagine people loving a pet. What in the hell was the country going to? The cats and dogs?

But no one please tell the Iranian government about the Persian mastiff, the Persian cat. And especially not about the Persian Greyhound, or Saluki, which the " Muslims considered them a sacred gift of Allah, and they were never sold but only offered as gifts of friendship or honor".
