Dog owners could face arrest and 74 lashes if they are caught walking their pets or even keeping one in their home under a proposed new Iranian law.
A bill before the country’s parliament says that keeping a dog as a pet harms Iranian society because the animals are “unclean”. Those who break the law will be subject to a fine of up to 100 million rials (around £2,000/$3,700) or 74 lashes. Pets may also be confiscated and sent to a zoo.
