Iran Bans Pets!

[Kool-Aid]

Now Iran will have clean streets, cleaner water, no dog shit everywhere, no barking meaning less noise pollution, no dog attacks, reduced chances of zoonotic diseases, no economic resources wasted on pets, Less environmental damage. Lower carbon foot prints. No more zoophiles. I could go on and on!

Animals do not belong in the homes of humans they belong in the wild where they can live free!

I can only dream of this happening in the west!

Iranian animal lovers decry plan to ban pets

"No, my cat is not dangerous," says Iranian animal lover Mostafa, outraged by a proposal from ultraconservative lawmakers to ban pets.

www.france24.com

In their introduction, the authors condemn the practice of humans living under one roof with domesticated animals as a "destructive social problem".

The phenomenon, they explain, could "gradually change the Iranian and Islamic way of life" by "replacing human and family relationships with feelings and emotional relationships towards animals".

The proposed law would prohibit "importing, raising, assisting in the breeding of, breeding, buying or selling, transporting, driving or walking, and keeping in the home wild, exotic, harmful and dangerous animals".

It lists the animals to be banned as "crocodiles, turtles, snakes, lizards, cats, mice, rabbits, dogs and other unclean animals as well as monkeys".

Offenders would risk a fine equivalent to 10 to 30 times the "minimum monthly working wage" of about $98 or 87 euros and the "confiscation" of the animal.

In addition, vehicles used to transport the animal would be confiscated for three months.

Should we stop keeping pets? Why more and more ethicists say yes

Ninety per cent of Britons think of their pet as part of the family – 16% even included them on the last census. But recent research into animals’ emotional lives has cast doubt on the ethics of petkeeping

masha'Allah, maybe we can get people onboard with this by saying

pets = slavery = RACISM.

that being said, we have to figure out how to make a loophole that allows for cats but no dogs. maybe we could emphasize dogs as being disease carriers and then demonize people as science-deniers if they oppose banning dog ownership (except in cases of hunting or security dogs)

that being said.... Peter Singer is supposed to be a top "ethicist" of the West and he says beastiality is halal according to him.... it is weird to me... beasiality = halal and pet ownership = haraam to these people????

I bumped the thread, it deserved to have been bigger imo. what's crazy to me is I actually read one of his books when I was younger (I was a teenager) and didn't really know anything about Islam. I didn't know back then that he had such weird views, though.

Keeping pets is taking a wild animal out of a home of its species and putting it in a cramped unnatural environment with a bunch of creatures its unfamiliar with so that u can control it and use it for ur pleasure.
If another animal did that to a human we would be crying, humans r the biggest hypocrites. Let the animals live where Allah created them to live.
freedom for animals

This law is towards street animals, right?

I thought it included cats til I clicked on the post. I'm cool with that. I love cats, so to ban them would be saddening.

Cats are better than dogs. People laugh at me when I say that

Agreed. In Islam, we can keep cats as pets, with no conditions but dogs can only be kept for certain purposes.

I somewhat supports endeavour. If you are not keeping animals for work, then they are pretty much useless.

Also the ecological point of view needs to accounted. For example, cats are one of the biggest reasons for the decline in the number of birds, small mammals and reptiles. They kill billions of them yearly. Their numbers should be extremely limited, only in farms where they hunt mice and other critters who eat the crops.

Iran was never free. They arguably have more representation today than did under the Shah.

Keep believing these narratives and you'll end up with a very skewed perception of the world.

You'll see a picture of women in a bikini in the 70s and forget that female literacy back then was 32%, or that under the Islamic Republic, Iran has the highest female to male ratio in universities among all sovereign nations. More than 70% of students in engineering and pure sciences are women.
