Iran:
Dog’s Brutalised And Buried
https://www.facebook.com/animal.cruelties/photos/a.447623918591779.97097.118881171466057/1072359386118226/?type=3&theater
Stray dogs are shot to death in residential streets by
city workers while others are buried alive after being thrown into deeply dug
grave-pits, which they are unable to jump out of. The dogs sense they are in
imminent danger and cling to each other in terror.
Using semi-auomatice weapons, government workers either
fire rounds of bullets into the grave, indiscriminately hitting and missing the panicking trapped dogs,
which leave many injured, or they simply start back-filling the mass grave with
rubble as the panicked dogs desperately try to leap to safety, which they are
unable to do. Howling and whimpering the dogs are buried alive
Covered in rubble, whimpering can still be heard so
to shut the dying dogs up, government workers fire their semi-automatic weapons
into the freshly back-filled grave, spraying bullets into the just re-filled
dirt and rubble. When the noise of whimpering dogs shut up, they stop firing
bullets (BZB.) In sharp contrast, the Prophet Muhammad commanded: “Every animal
or bird that is killed unjustly, the day will conflict with his killer” (PBUH)
In 2010 Iran banned all advertisements for pets,
pet food and pet products after powerful cleric Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem
Shirazi issued the fatwa and stressed that, in line with the Islamic tradition,
dogs are unclean animals.
Buried alive, Government workers keep firing into
the covered over mass grave of dogs, until the whimpering shuts up.
The ban on pet ads and products came about because
Ayatollah couldn’t accept and come to terms with the Iranian people’s love for
“unclean animals.” Ayatolla Shirazi said dog owners were “blindly imitating the
West” and their devotion to animals would result in “evil outcomes” (AAM)
Dog owners used to be able to keep their pets safe
by regularly paying fines but Tehran police announced police would capture
every dog they encountered [which is possibly code for kill.] The official
reason given is said to be religious: Iran’s Islamic law forbids the possession
of dogs, considered to be “impure” animals. In the past, several politicians as
well as state media outlets had already condemned this practice.
Although it is forbidden to keep dogs at home, it
is not forbidden to sell puppies alongside express-ways, where its reported
that puppies are treated very badly and those which are not sold by the end of
the day are killed and thrown away as trash.
A 70-year-old man was caught walking his pet dog on
the street and he was arrested, sentenced to four months in jail and given 30
lashes [Shahr Rey, a suburb of Tehran.] An Islamic judge charged the man for
“disturbing the public order.” Domestic animals are forbidden from being taken
on to the streets because Islam considers dogs to be impure (Fox News.)
The association of the dog with the devil may have
motivated several attempts at eradicating the animal. The Prophet Mohammad (and
later Yusof b. Hajjaj) was said to have ordered all dogs to be put to death but
to have modified his order to only apply to black dogs, especially those with
two spots (noqtatayn) over their eyes.
The black dog figures prominently in magic. Its
satanic connections mean that harming it may bring injury or misfortune to the
perpetrator. In Khorassan, it is believed that he who kills a dog will lose a
child or seven years of bad luck. Such beliefs may at least partly reflect
Pre-Islamic taboos against harming dogs, reinterpreted to conform to the
Islamic association of the animal with evil, says Ardeshir Mohassess in Life In
Iran.
Iran’s history is closely flanked by it’s
Pre-Islamic use of dogs in herding, hunting, war and dog-fights, known as
sag-e-kazari which refers to canine warriors or dogs trained for dog fights.
Ancient Persian myth says one third of a dogs’ essence is human and that dog
was created to protect man’s possessions against wolves, and that a dog can
repel evil by it’s mere gaze. Many Persian myths revolves around around dogs
being created by God, ultimately to teach man humility (LinA)
The Prophet of Islam showed kindness toward all
animals, including dogs, yet the Iranian government have a vendetta to murder
all stray dogs and encourage members of the public to join in their killing
spree, by paying dog killers with rewards. The hate spree against dogs has
resulted in countless dogs being shot but not killed outright. Injured dogs run
and take days, sometimes even longer to die painful, drawn-out deaths.
Mistreating animals is considered a sin in Islam. A
Muslim is responsible for the care of animals, so much so that an ill-treated
animal will testify against the one who abused it on the Day of Judgment. Islam
forbids branding animals and killing them in vain, such as for sport. The
Prophet Muhammad forbade people to capture birds, burn anthills or whip
animals. Even slaughtering animals for food, Islam (requires that the
slaughtering be done according to Islamic procedure), which is “humane” and
aims to cause the animals as little suffering as possible
While Iran blames dogs for being unclean, the
Iranian government doesn’t seem to have a problem with a general lack of
hygiene in and around towns and cities, in areas such as food safety, clinical
and hospital waste, road safety, air pollution and contamination of rivers and
reservoirs that feed into waters which are used for public consumption, and so
on.
It is time the Iranian government show the merci
that was shown to them by the Prophet of Islam. Their on-going actions of
butchering dogs is no longer a secret and people worldwide are appalled and
horrified at the cruelty being perpetrated against companion animals and the
Iranian people who defend them.
