IDK what the motivation is here for Iran, but I think humans blew it with pets. We have non native cats destroying sensitive ecosystems, i was just reading about rabies outbreaks in stray dog populations. Theres over population of these pets in general so we kill them. the abusive breeds that exist. If people really cared about taking care of animals we wouldn't have breeders making pure animals for people to have as status symbols. Then people just dump their pets when they get bored of them. Dont bother training them or taking care of them properly.I could go on with the issues pets cause.
theres to many terrible owners and issues pets cause, we really should have some control over these animals. its wild out there.
why? so we can continue to ignore the externalities of having little fluffy things around? the comment and observation makes you uncomfortable? please tell me why bulldogs should be allowed to exist. its insane what we allow to happen to animals
This a widely used rhetoric used by islamists, and "post-colonialists" in my country (Algeria). No amount of philosophical sophistication will defeat this intellectual tool of terror.
It's such a bullshit excuse, but TBH the real reason is: "we need to show you that we the government still have ultimate power over you, so let us implement this harsh rule that serves no purpose but to show you who is boss".
Like, doesn't the headline refer to every country (and without the “soon”, too)? Sure, which pets are problematic is a cultural variable that differs from country to country and within countries over time, but...

The title without clickbait would read: In Iran, having a pet could soon land you in jail (bbc.com)
