Iranian Cleric Declares Jihad On Dogs - Leftists Agree


From Watcher:

Iranian cleric decrees dogs are "unclean", too Western and not to be kept as pets

(Reuters) - A senior Iranian cleric has decreed dogs are "unclean" and should not be kept as pets -- a move aimed at discouraging Western-style dog ownership in the Islamic state, a newspaper reported on Saturday.

Dogs are considered "unclean" under Islamic tradition but, while relatively rare in Iran, some people do keep them as pets.

By issuing a fatwa -- a religious ruling -- Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi has sent a clear message that this trend must stop.

"Friendship with dogs is a blind imitation of the West," he was quoted as saying in Javan daily. "There are lots of people in the West who love their dogs more than their wives and children."

Guard dogs and sheep dogs are considered acceptable under Islamic law but Iranians who carry dogs in their cars or take them to public parks can be stopped by police and fined.

The Koran does not explicitly prohibit contact with dogs, Shirazi said, but Islamic tradition showed it to be so. "We have lots of narrations in Islam that say dogs are unclean."

Pet Dogs Are A Clear And Present Danger To The Environment, Claims New Book
If you didn't already understand that environmentalists are completely out of their minds, then read this.

You may think this idea is crazy, but the fact is, it's completely logical if you buy the eco-leftie/Anthropogenic Global Warming paradigm.

And, if you do believe in AGW, it is incumbent upon you to kill your dog immediately.

From the Telegraph:

Owners should consider doing without, downsizing or even eating their pets to help save the planet, according to a new book.



Pet dogs as bad for planet as driving 4x4s, book claims

It claims that the carbon footprint left by domesticated animals is out of proportion to the size of their paws.
A medium-sized dog has the same impact as a Toyota Land Cruiser driven 6,000 miles a year, while a cat is equivalent to a Volkswagen Golf.
But rabbits and chickens are eco-friendly because they provide meat for their owners while a canary or a goldfish has little effect on the environment.
At the same time a pair of hamsters do the same damage as running a plasma television, suggests the book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living.


Stop the snickering and start the slaughtering.

Once again, if you buy the eco-leftie/Anthropogenic Global Warming paradigm, and you don't kill and eat your dog, you are destroying the Earth and you are a hypocrite.
