Iran bans pet ads, brands dogs 'unclean'

IRAN today banned all advertisements in the country for pets, pet shops, pet food and other pet products, claiming that people's love for their dogs and cats may lead to "evil outcomes".

The edict, announced by Iran's powerful Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, is based on a fatwa issued by Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi, 86, a hardliner who lives in Iran’s holy city of Qom.

Declaring dogs in particular to be unclean under Sharia, he condemned Iranian dog owners for “blindly imitating the West” and warned that their infatuation would lead to “evil outcomes”, according to the state-run Mehr news agency.

“Many people in the West love their dogs more than their wives and children,” the Grand Ayatollah declared.

May the hind leg of a thousand male dogs go up in unison and urinate all over this guys' Fatwa and Koran, reducing both to a puddle of paper paste.

You know you've run out of ideas when you start going after dogs.

Meet my Saint Bernard, Harley...



He would like to know just who the hell this "Sharia" guy is, and why he's always being such a hardass.

He also told me that mohammadens always taste better if they die screaming. Hey, the dog said it, ok???

Yup. That's Harley. He was a rescue, and is the second Saint I've had. They're an absolute TON of work, but I love the breed so much, it's worth it.  :-)

Goats, dear.  It's goats in that part of the world.  Or camels, if you can get them to kneel.
