You’ll notice there are zero citations to backup any of the claims, they reference one newspaper but if you try to find that article all you’ll find is the guardian claiming it exists. It also references 75 lawmakers from 2021, and the only reference I could find for that is this uncited quote: "According to media reports, 75 MPs, or one quarter of parliamentarians, recently signed a text entitled “Support for the rights of the population in relation to harmful and dangerous animals”.
This comes from theinsightinternational.com, an English only online publication claiming to deliver “unbiased reporting on events and developments in the Middle East and the Kurdistan Region”. Who needs sources!? 75 MPs said this on social media, trust.
Don’t get me wrong, Islamic fundamentalism and aversion to dogs is real, Iran’s Islamic laws are suppressive and awful, but before you start worrying about what local laws they may or may not be discussing on social media, do a quick Google maps search for pet store and you try to figure out how many people have dogs as pets in Tehran… Then remember two reporters were shot by rubber bullets last night in LA.
You smelled the propaganda, bravo!
