I am a dog lover, but with all the abandoned dogs we have in this country that are euthanized every year, why would we import abandoned dogs from Iran?

P.S. The dog on the first link looks like he is getting ready for his morning prayer.

Wife and I just went to a giant pet adoption event in Round Rock. All the local shelters were there. Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Georgetown, Taylor, etc..........

There were many many dogs and cats that needed a home. They are all overwhelmed. I asked one of the staff why so many and she told me in this economy people are just turning their pets loose. Some are taking them to shelters. They had 1/2 price adoption fees and many folks were getting new pets. We got a new cat that is a good fit in our home.

It's a sad situation.

It is sad how many get "put down" each year. If only people would spay/neuter their pets, adopt from shelters instead of buying from puppy mills or buying from pet stores (who bought from puppy mills), the situation would get a little better.
Also, to those who do adopt, a pet is a life long commitment. Not only for when you have time for them. Short of God, a pet is the only creature on earth that will give inconditional love.

I'm sure Korea would be happy to take them.

This will bring tears to your eyes

Winner.

Is Iran trying to beat out N. Korea and China for the most un-fun places in the world to live. Poor Iranians. They have to deal with insanity on a daily basis...let them have their dogs for crying out loud.
