America's dogs are enraged by the revelation that canine owners in Iran could soon be facing fines and up to 74 lashes. As reported yesterday in a Times of Israel article entitled "Iran dog lovers face lashes, fines," a draft Iranian bill contemplates draconian action against those keeping dogs:
"Iran’s morality police, who deploy in public places, have previously stopped dog walkers and either cautioned them or confiscated the animals.
But if the new bill is passed by parliament then those guilty of dog-related offences could face lashes or fines ranging from 10 million rials to 100 million rials ($370 to $3,700 at official rates).
Patting dogs or coming into contact with their saliva is seen as 'najis' — direct contact and behaviour that leaves the body unclean — in the Islamic republic.
'Anyone who walks or plays with animals such as dogs or monkeys in public places will damage Islamic culture, as well as the hygiene and peace of others, especially women and children,' the draft law states."
Well, it has become known to JG Caesarea that America's dogs don't intend to take any of this lying down. Intent upon staging a public display of their dismay over attempts by Obama to appease Khamenei notwithstanding Iran's horrific crackdown against fellow canines, American dogs of all breeds are planning a massive "poop down" in front of the White House later this month. Stay tuned for further details concerning this protest as they become known.
I have been predicting for years that, ultimately, dog-lovers of the West will prevail against those who are ignorant dog-eating barbarians.
