Piggy is Haram and Illegal

That ain't the limit, Dymphna. Wait till this haram nonsense truly arrives. Lassie, and her cousins, will be deemed unfit for TV.

Dogs are the ultimate target of this lunacy. I didn't see a single dog in over ten years of my sad life in Saudi Arabia. There, I only heard a dog once and it sounded like someone was beating the poor thing.

You have no idea how utterly repulsed Muslims feel when they see Westerners petting a dog on a TV show. To them, a dog is a filthy and dirty creature. They don't get how anyone could lower themselves to touch such a hideous thing. In my extended family in Pakistan, only one relative kept a dog. That dog would always be chained and kept outside for protection. More than once in Pakistan, I've seen a group of kids throw rocks at a hapless street dog and heard the terrible sounds of vicious pain.

We should not stand for such narrow-mindedness and cruelty when it shows its ugly face in the West.
