Paws Up, Fido! Pet Dogs Arrested In Iran + video


sag-iran-The Iranian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Against Animals (SPCA) says that 20 pet dogs were recently arrested in a park in Tehran.
RFE/RL ) - The dogs were reportedly being walked by their owners in the Pardisan park last week when security forces took the canines away and transferred them to what appears to be a detention center.

The SPCA has posted on its website a video of the arrested dogs inside a cage. The group warns that the dogs are being kept in "unhygienic and difficult conditions" and that their owners have not been yet able to secure their release.
Reza Javalchi, the spokesman of the SPCA, 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.
But every day in confinement is dangerous for the animals, Javalchi says.
"Unfortunately, because these dogs are being kept together, they often become sick and they're not being given enough food. There have been some cases where some of the dogs have died during their detention."
This isn't the first time that security forces have cracked down on dogs and their owners in the Islamic republic, where dog ownership has always been a sensitive issue. In 2007, a number of dogs in the Iranian capital ended up in a "dog prison" after police forces took them away from their owners who were walking them in the streets. Read the rest on: logoen

The Iranian Society for Prevention of Cruelty Against Animals report that last week about 20 dogs in Pardisan Park in Tehran were arrested as their owners walked them. Iran's government considers keeping pet dogs un-Islamic, but has mostly tolerated it. Film by Iranspca.com uploaded and shared with permission.
