Payam S

You forgot to mention this is Orientalist.

Payam S. A society is

Payam S. A society is judged by how it treats its animals. This is what the great Ghandi said. It is not their fault that their owner took them out and dispaly them in public. By the way in case you did not know dogs are alot more usefull than you think they are. We use them for teraphy. They are great companion. They are alot more loyal than many human including friends and relative. I personally was very sad when I lost my belovet golden ritriver Polo. I was as sad as if I lose a family member.     

So what?

There are other more urgent matters such as child workers, street children, exploited women, unemployed men and women, workers who are unpaid, folks who depended on the subsidies to survive, the impoverished working class, the oppressed minorities in Iran, drug addicts; none of whom could ever afford to purchase one of these ridiculously useless dogs as a pet. They can hardly feed their children nevertheless feed a stupid dog. These dogs are essentially a way in which the afluent classes in Tehran ostensibly demonstrate their priviliged and westernized lifestyles.

I suggest you do not leave your GF alone with your dog. They can be even a better friend to Women than to men:))

I know . i know what you meant.

Holy crap, Must you relate every single thing that goes wrong in there to the "betrayal" and "deprivation" of whatever that was good that was on display by Mr. shahanshah aryamehr and the gang?

Perhaps Mr. reza should start sending letters to the International canine organization, asking them to mobilize the canine population in exile and inside the county to collect donation and send it over to his office in Virgina?

Woof Woof! we want reza!

Dogs will be dogs

They would all be adopted in 5 minutes if they were goats wearing bright lipsticks.

Dogs

Doge = loving animal

IRI=Akhoond = Dirt

Islam has always hated Dogs

And here is why, Persian army had dogs trained to help them in battle filed, and was able to inflict real pain to Arab soldgers, from then on dogs were najes. As ignorant as this Mullahs are, they still folow 1300 years ago rull to fear dogs. I love my dog, and I don't call him Mohammad, or Ali, cause I don't want to humiliate him.

Well if people didn't name their dogs Ali, Mammad, Hassan, Hosse

,..., Mehdi, etc. maybe and just maybe the authorities in IRR wouldn't round them up and confiscate them!

Who let the dogs out!

Dogs are great and they are man's best friend.

سئوال اَساسی‌ این است:آیا این حیوان (سگ) در جامعه‌ای چو جامعهٔ ایران جا افتاده است یا خیر ؟

sign a written document promising not to walk their dogs in

public?

Dogs are social animals they need to be taken on walks daily and to see other dogs and people for their health.

betraying the best we had (in comparison to the alternatives), the late shahs team, for the anti-progress anti-peace & anti-human rights alternatives who called for revolution in 1979, even resulted in harming dogs and yet the shameless politics against Irans 2500 year political & cultural institution continues by some despite its lack of support among the majority of Iranians who have seen and experienced the results of supporting alternatives.

Islam hates puppies

heartbreaking

You can only imagine what the owners, let alone the pets, are going through. I wonder what will happen to these dogs. Does anyone know?  :( 

Actually just found this

//www.rferl.org/content/iran_dogs_arrests_/24559175.html 

"Reza Javalchi, the SPCA spokesman, told RFE/RL’s Radio Farda that the dogs will likely be kept in the detention center for a while and then released after their owners sign a written document promising not to walk their dogs in public." 

Excellent quote

When a man is sympathetic toward animals he will have mercy on other people too.Our
main goal is not to save a single animal, but to revive a culture and
line of thought which is present in society, but is largely ignored;
that is, paying attention to all creatures.

Say hello to the family.

HI Dr Mohandes

I Just came back home yesterday. Hope all's well with you.

I got a bad flu in Europe. 

Stay well.

They have started already!

Promoting those donkeys and even monkeyes around the country. poeple in the know would know exactly where to look for them. That is right!

Well, at least, these dogs got one thing going for them and when these bastards kick the dust and become extinct, they can always go and pee on all over their graves.

GO DOGS! PEE AWAY BABY!

I posted this video on a blog I wrote yesterday

//iranian.com/main/blog/amirparvizforsecularm...

this is very upsetting to me as a pet lover.

Marg Bar ISLAM & ISLAMISTS

THey do not leave even animals alone.

marg bar sag

probably will be a new slogan at namaz jomeh :)

maybe they will start promoting islamic pets like, donkey, goat, sheep, or cow so people can parade them around in the streets of tehran :)

Personally I think this is just another way for IRI thieves to make money. Once those dog owners pay the fine, they will most likely get their dogs back. But, they may be sexually abused while in captivity. I wouldn't put that passed beyond their captors.
