The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
The Parliament of Iran is on the verge of passing the "Protection of Public's Rights Against Animals" bill, which outlaws pet ownership without a permit issued by a special committee. This includes the criminalization of owning pets such as dogs, cats, and even crocodiles. Those found in opposition to this law would be subjected to a fine of around $800 and can be detained. Many conservative Iranian authorities have previously tried to ban dogs altogether. The President of the Iran Veterinary Association, Dr. Payam Mohebi stated, "Debates around this bill started more than a decade ago when a group of Iranian MPs tried to promote a law to confiscate all dogs and give them to zoos or leave them in deserts. Over the years, they have changed this a couple of times and even discussed corporal punishment for dog owners. But their plan didn't get anywhere." The local police in Tehran started a crackdown on citizens who were walking their dogs in public parks as a measure to "protect the safety of the public." Tehran authorities justified their decision to protect and uphold public safety, but the reason is very conservative and ideological. In Islam, dogs are considered to be impure animals, and since the Islamic revolution of 1979, dogs have been seen as a symbol of Westernization.
