While Iran's leadership is showing signs of cooperation with the West in nuclear talks, the Islamic Republic's law enforcement authorities continue their efforts to fight "outside influences."

 

Tehran police are beefing up enforcement of Islamic law against women improperly dressed ahead of the summer, and adding a new target: pet dogs.

 

Police in Tehran are conducting a new crackdown on women wearing mandatory headscarves improperly or in "vulgar" dress.

Typically, such women are fined or detained in police stations until relatives collect them hours later with more modest clothing.

Iranian officers in action

 

As part of police operations in Tehran, officers also issue warnings to dog owners walking their pets outside. In Sharia-ruled Iran, dogs are considered "impure." Dozens of dogs in Tehran were round up last month and placed in quarantine.

 

Iran's Islamist rulers consider ownership of pet animals "un-Islamic." Authorities distinguish between pet dogs and "work dogs" used for guarding and helping in rescue missions.

 

Iran's parliament even introduced a bill according to which dogs cannot be taken out in public, with offenders facing fines of up to $1,000.

Harp! Harp!
The dogs do bark,
The beggars come to the town,
Some in rags, some in tags
and some in green gowns.

Thieves and immoral are mostly afraid of the dogs.

I heard that small dog sales are on the increase as they are easier to hide...so that's what a burqa's for.

Most dogs are wonderful animals. I can understand requiring a leash for safety reasons and picking up their droppings but to ban them altogether is wrong.
