Banning dogs?

"People who walk their dogs in public places shall be dealt with severely," he told YJC.

Dogs will also be banned from cars, Rahimi said, underlining that "police will seriously confront dog owners who let their dogs ride in their cars."
The announcement follows a longstanding effort by clerics and officials to discourage dog ownership in the Islamic country.
No better way to get children to hate their leaders than to take their beloved pets away.

What a pointless and stupid idea, to discourage dog ownership. There is so much we can learn from dogs that would benefit all humanity.

Dogs can be quite protective of their owner and also offer a sense of security and can be a natural alert system.
I see people wanting to be rid of dogs is either this reason or that people dont clean up their poop.

Dogs are poorly thought of in Islam. They generally are only allowed for hunting or protecting property. Even then, a person is expected to wash after interacting with them.

More so. You never know what sort of activity a leftist might have engaged without washing their hands.

I think in it's specifics it's a good idea, but in the general sense, not a good idea.

I'm no fan of islam and all it's perversions.

Dogs can be great companions and protect their owners. Here, a dog saves several British soldiers:

I really like dogs, and would love to have one...but the poop issue is seriously a major one for me. I already have one kid's diapers to change and a couple other bottoms to wipe. Things are improving the older my
Kids get, but at one point I had 3 kids in diapers. I can't handle more poop to clean up!
