Sign of the Times: UFO Sightings All Over the World
Is it just me, or is it because I was scaredy obsessed watching Final Destination, Doomsday, Independence Day, The Day after Tomorrow and 2012 movies..... is it just me realizing the constant news about volcanoes being active, earthquakes, tsunamis changing earth's landscapes, sinkholes, and weather changes...
Scaredy Times Ahead: Taal Volcano continues to show heightened activity
MANILA, Philippines -- Restive Taal Volcano in Batangas province continues to show heightened activity, a day after the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised the alert level over the volcano.
''The volcano's seismicity, ground deformation and carbon dioxide content remain high. We will continue to observe if the volcano's activity will intensify in the next days. But for now, Alert Level 2 remains hoisted over Taal Volcano,'' Phivolcs science research specialist Jojo Cordon said.
In its latest volcano bulletin, Phivolcs detected six volcanic earthquakes around the Taal Volcano in the last 24 hours.
Although the number of volcanic earthquakes is lower than the 21 quakes last Saturday, seismicity around the volcano remains active. Source: ph.news.yahoo.com

Ultimate Loyalty: Japanese Dog Refuses to Leave Injured Friend Behind
I can't believe they lived through it! It's adorable how one protects the other dog. Sometimes I cannot fathom the undying
Emerging coverage from Japan offers a moving example of ultimate dog loyalty, and clearly illustrates the challenges faced by animal victims of the earthquake and tsunami.
It has been said that the dogs were picked up after the video was filmed, and are in the care of a local shelter. Updates and pics will be offered at the link above in the coming days, as available. Translation of conversation in video:
We are in Arahama area. Looks like there is a dog. There is a dog. He looks tired and dirty. He must have been caught in the tsunami. He looks very dirty.
He has a collar. He must be someone's pet. He has a silver collar. He is shaking. He seems very afraid.
Oh, there is another dog. I wonder if he is dead.
Where?
Right there. There is another dog right next to the one sitting down. He is not moving. I wonder. I wonder if he is alright.
The dog is protecting him.
Yes. He is protecting the dog. That is why he did not want us to approach them. He was trying to keep us at bay.
I can't watch this. This is a very difficult to watch.
Oh. Look. He is moving. He is alive. I am so happy to see that he is alive.
Yes! Yes! He is alive.
He looks to be weakened. We need to them to be rescued soon. We really want them rescued soon.
Oh good. He's getting up.
It is amazing how they survived the tremendous earthquake and tsunami. It's just amazing that they survived through this all.
Update:
They have already saved by rescue team within that day. I heard that the white dog could not eat and a doctor gave him a drip transfusion at the hospital. The brown dog has an appetite and vitality^^ They are staying at protection facility. The owner seems to have come out by their micro tip, but I don't know their safety. I hope these two dogs will come back to their owner. Uncountable animal volunteer from all over Japan are still working very hard for animals.

A Unlikely Tsunami Survivor
3 weeks after the devastating tsunami in Japan, rescue teams found a very unlikely survivor; a dog amongst wreckage that had floated out to sea. Much like humans, dogs can go weeks without food, but only a few days without water. The question remains – how did he survive? He couldn’t have survived off of salt water, because he would have died from dehydration. Due to the amount of rain endured over the last few weeks, scientists believe he lived off of pools of rain water collected throughout the dog’s floating wreckage.
Please Tell Canada to End Its Shameful Seal Slaughter
I received an email about this and I am sharing these information from PETA because these animals cannot speak up. I am appalled that there are people who would do such gruesome deeds to these small and helpless creatures.
For thousands of years, harp seals have migrated from Greenland down the coast of Canada, stopping each spring to give birth on the ice floes. Every year, a band of fishers descends on the ice to beat hundreds of thousands of seals to death and sell the animals' pelts on the international fur market. Sealers routinely hook baby seals in the eye, cheek, or mouth and drag them across the ice, often while the animals are still conscious. Many of the seals killed in the massacre are only a few weeks old.
Baby seals stand no chance against club-wielding seal hunters—pups must look on as fellow seals are bludgeoned to death only to then meet the same bloody fate. The commercial seal slaughter is an off-season profit venture for the fishing industry, and it accounts for less than 1 percent of Newfoundland's economy. The seal slaughter is not a subsistence activity for native peoples—Inuit sealing accounts for only about 3 percent of the annual slaughter.
The price of seal fur is plummeting as international outrage against the seal slaughter rises. The U.S. and the European Union have banned seal products, and world leaders such as President Barack Obama and His Holiness The Dalai Lama have denounced the massacre.
The annual seal slaughter will continue unless people like you speak out and take action to stop it, so please add your voice to the global outcry against Canada's shameful seal massacre. Please write to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and Canadian ambassadors around the world to demand that they bring the massacre to an immediate end.
Why is Canada Killing Seals?
Most people would agree that there is something terribly wrong with shooting and smashing in the skulls of baby seals, yet despite international outrage, the Canadian government allows sealers to beat and skin hundreds of thousands of these gentle creatures every year. So why is Canada killing seals?
The seal slaughter exists because of the overall demand for fur. During Canada's annual war on seals, sealers routinely hook live seals in the eye, cheek, or mouth to avoid damaging the fur, then they drag the seals across the ice. Many of these gentle creatures may not even have eaten their first solid meal or taken their first swim before they are slaughtered for their skin.
In 2009, the European Union voted to end the sale of seal products, and the U.S. Senate unanimously passed U.S. Senate Resolution 84, calling for an immediate end to the annual seal slaughter. It's time for Canada to wake up! And with the help of caring people like you, we can put an end to the slaughter once and for all.
Another PETA advocacy where I cried watching the video can be found here. I hope more and more people will be compassionate about every creature and animals in the world.

BBC's "Toughest Place to Be" - A must watch for Every Filipino
This weekend, I was able to spare some time browsing the net and came upon some thought provoking videos about a program in the British Channel BBC titled The Toughest Place to be. I watched all six videos with almost 10 minutes each and was appalled with Philippine's condition. The second worker was sent to Manila, Philippines to perform his work as a bus driver.
His name was Josh West from London. After watching, I researched for the videos online and found out that BBC is only showing the programme in London. I wish these videos could also be shown in the Philippines to make all Filipinos realize how revolting it is to live in the conditions of being a very poor Filipino. I was deeply heartbroken watching it and wish that by sharing this videos would give our corrupt government a jolt and make them see how oppressed the poor are. I myself came from a poor family but got educated and is now living more decent than most Pinoys living in slums. After watching, I reflected much on my life and made me think that with all the challenges I face right now, I am still lucky than most people. Watch the videos below and make sure to finish all six and let me know what you think and feel about being a Filipino.
BBC's Toughest Place to be - A Bus Driver
In the second program in the series where British workers accept the challenge to do their jobs in some of the toughest conditions in the world, London bus driver Josh West heads to Manila, the capital of the Philippines and the most densely populated city on Earth. Josh will be driving a Jeepney, a colourfully decorated, adapted jeep which has no power steering, dodgy lights and an uncomfortable seat.
His host is Rogelio Castro and together they brave the chaos of the streets. It's a hair-raising and often hilarious ride, but Josh also learns about the incredible over-crowding and devastating poverty of Manila. He forms a strong bond with Rogelio and is moved by the daily struggle of an ordinary Filipino working to feed his family.
It's an emotional roller coaster and Josh returns a changed man, aware that all the separates his life from Rogelio's is the country he happened to be born in.

Three British workers. Experienced. Qualified. And looking for a challenge. They are on a quest to find out what it would be like to do their job under some of the toughest conditions on the planet.
These British workers travel to countries thousands of miles away, to live with local people, and do their own jobs, under some of the toughest conditions on earth.
Angie is a paramedic going to Guatemala, Josh a bus driver going to the Philippines and Suzanne is a midwife going to Liberia.

Reyane's Online Shoppe is back with Human Heart♥ Nature!
Happy February 20, 2011!
Today is the day that I re-launch my online shoppe Reyane Haven! I started this shoppe May 2009 wherein I opened offering pre-loved products, bargain finds and brand-new affordable bags. It was a hit! most of my products sold. However, I changed my career / day job that required me to adjust. I became hectic and somewhere along I was not able to update products and the online shoppe became stagnant.
So many exciting changes happened to me since the start of the year and I'm counting on my luck, my inspirations and my determination to succeed in this year of the rabbit 2011.
Allow me to introduce one of my projects and challenge this year. REYANE'S ONLINE SHOPPE is now in Facebook! Please like my page and receive updates on new and awesome products that I will be adding to the shoppe this year.
My goal is to bring to you a choice of the nicest products and bargain finds in the comfort of your home and time. Please check my photo albums. You might be interested with the awesome products I offer. Happy shopping!
Products that I am selling on my online shoppe are from, Human Heart♥ Nature.
My passion to be a dealer of Human Heart♥ Nature began when one of my pregnant best friend asked me if I know some organic products she can use. She started living healthy when she decided to get pregnant. As we know, some of the toiletries that we daily use are made of harmful chemicals. My friend wanted something that will not only keep her and her baby safe from harmful chemicals but also protect the environment. We both support this advocacy. Another officemate introduced me to Human Heart♥ Nature. She brought some sample products and I fell in love instantly with their luxury body scrub and body butter. The next day I dragged my Sweetypie♥ to Gandang Kalikasan Inc.'s head office to sign up as a dealer. I fell in love with the store and their products. Aside from the fact that they are 100% No Harmful Chemicals, the products are Philippine made and supports Gawad Kalinga. It is also note worthy that GKI's staff are approachable and kind. I left with a loot bag of products that I can't wait to share with my friends.
I will be uploading more awesome products meanwhile please click on this link and LIKE my page. It would be a great favor too if you would check and consider using the organic products in my albums.

Are you a Spider Man Movie fan?
Today as I was browsing the net, I saw the first photo of Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) who will star in the reboot story of the successful franchise film by Sam Raimi starring Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man.
If you are a Spider Man fan..... who do you think is hotter?
And what the heck is a reboot anyway? I mean in terms of movies? The reboot I know is the on-off of a computer. 
If you are a Spider Man fan..... who do you think is hotter?

"Spartacus" has a New Leading Man
Yes. You heard it right.... Spartacus ... one of my favorite US tv series has a new leading actor. Spartacus himself will be replaced with a fresh and hunkier gladiator under the name of Liam McIntyre.
Australian Actor Liam McIntyre Taking Over Starz 'Spartacus' Role From Andy Whitfield.

| Andy Whitfield vs. Liam McIntyre: They have the same piercing eyes! |
Just days after Starz announced they were planning to recast the title role, left vacated by Andy Whitfield, who has been battling cancer, a rep for the cable channel confirmed to Access Hollywood that Australian actor Liam McIntyre has won the part.
Liam, 28, will take over the role, which Andy left due to his cancer battle, as the network proceeds with Season 2 of the bloody drama, which begins shooting this spring.
"Since no one can really replace Andy, we realized that we should instead find an actor who can truly lead 'Spartacus' forward," Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht said in a statement. "It was important to us to have Andy endorse the idea of recasting this part, which he did in the same heroic manner that he's dealt with his whole ordeal. And that, coupled with our fortune in finding a young actor with the gladiator credentials and the acting ability of Liam, makes it easier for us to keep this hit franchise going."Season 2 of Spartacus will air starring Lucy Lawless and John Hannah beginning Friday, January 21, 2011. It will be titled "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena". I can't wait to watch it!

Winter Solstice
Something good happened yesterday. My only wish for Christmas was granted - to spend a perfect Christmas with Sweetypie♥. And hindi naman ako binigo ni Lord. On the way home in a cab ride, I saw na ang beautiful ng moon. Yun pala winter solstice.
Winter solstice! Yesterday marks the shortest length of daytime and the longest length of night time. Sunset is earlier and sunrise is a bit late. If you live in the northern hemisphere (say, Canada, Europe or USA), sunrise is approximately 8-9am and sunset is 4pm. If you live within or near the Arctic Circle, which lies 60 degrees above the equator, then you won’t see Mr. Sun. You have to wait for the next three months. Total darkness for the next three months. In other news, Australia, Argentina, south Brazil and New Zealand will be celebrating their Christmas and New Year at the beach. It’s summer in the southern hemisphere. Pretty cool, eh?

What happened to Aaron Carter?
I used to have a major major love for Backstreet Boy's Nick Carter. But do you remember Aaron Carter? He is Nick's little brother who sang songs like "Crush on You" and "I'm gonna Miss you Forever" in a cartoony-chipmunky way but still managed to be in the charts. He was the Justin Bieber of the1997 era. ^__^
He dated Hillary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, was engaged with a beauty queen turned Playboy model and was also arrested in 2008 for speeding and possession of marijuana.
He used to be this cute!
But last week, October 5 he posted in twitter a ripped, flexed and scary shirtless physique with the comment, 'I've been at Johnny Wright's compound working on my mind, music, and body for a new album release!'

The Benefits of Being Barefoot
When I was a child, I like playing "patintero" with my friends barefoot.
When I was a teenager, I love walking around the beach and feeling the sands in barefoot.
And now that I'm a working lady, whenever I get home, I like kickin' my black heels shoes and lounging in the house barefoot.
The Benefits of Being Barefoot
We have all been born barefoot. A long time ago, people have lived and survived without using protective footwear. But, today, because of technology and the many changes it brought, wearing shoes became an essential part of life. But beyond all the protection and the style shoes provide, we seem to have forgotten the significant benefits and sense of freedom being barefoot brings.
Shoes were first invented thousands of years ago—way back when people used to live in caves. Back then, they used animal hides and leather laces to protect their feet from the rough terrain. Millennia passed and the concept of shoes evolved in countless ways from its design, material, and even its uses. It became a necessity to shod oneself. However, no matter how things change, most people still prefer to do a lot of things barefoot. It is all because being barefoot is very comfortable. But, aside from the unrivaled relaxation being barefoot brings, it also has a considerable number of benefits, not just to the feet, but the body as a whole.
Doing activities barefoot brings a lot of advantages to the body’s flexibility and mobility. It allows people to exercise, stretch, relax, and strengthen muscles they normally don’t get to use when wearing shoes. Barefoot running also corrects the way people run—making them land on the balls of their feet—as compared to wearing rubber shoes which gives the tendency to land on the heels first. Landing on the heels of the feet releases more pressure and shock to legs and knees. Doing things barefoot also improves range of motion in ankles, feet, and toes because of movements that are more natural and free. It also heightens body awareness since the body has the sense of being freer than being shod. Balance and motion agility are also developed because doing things barefoot further stimulates the neurons and nerves that are essential to lower body movement. And because there are no heels to torture the foot heel and the ankle, it enhances natural posture and the alignment of the spine. And, most especially, it is much easier to relax and stretch after a workout if someone is barefoot.
Countless health benefits have been associated with being barefoot. That is why athletes, to attain better health and movement, prefer to do their sports without any footwear on. It is because when barefoot, movements become the movements of a child—playful and sensitive, yet purposeful and confident. A person experiences the unbound joy of stepping, hopping, and running across any surface on earth, simply to get from here to there. This is the reason why a lot of sports enthusiasts prefer to deal with their activities barefoot.
Numerous runners have been hitting the tracks without any shoes on because the benefits of running barefoot have long been supported by scientific research, coaches, and athletes who’ve offered ample evidence that training without shoes allows you to run faster and further with fewer injuries. Motion studies demonstrate that when running barefoot, one naturally lands on the forefoot, directly below the center of gravity. This results in optimum balance, increased stability, less impact, and greater propulsion.
Indeed, undertaking activities barefoot has a lot of benefits and advantages for the body. However, the feet—most especially those of the more active people—need to be protected from the many possibilities of injury. That is why some footwear are developed to mimic the feel and freedom of being barefoot. A good example would be the Vibram Five Fingers which is a proof that many people prefer to do things barefoot. With a slot for each of the toes, it actually gives all the freedom and feel of wearing no shoes on.
Many other innovations in footwear have been introduced into the market to make our feet as comfortable and relaxed as if barefoot. It is because it takes no genius to agree that—aside from the benefits of going barefoot—the feet has taken the humans a long long way and they deserve a break and the freedom.
The Vibram Five Fingers store is located at Level R1 Bridgeway in PowerPlant Mall, Rockwell. For inquiries, call (02) 513-1449 or e-mail marketing@barefootwearinc.com. You could also visit the official website at http://www.barefootwearinc.com/.

Postcripts To A BloodBath... Aug. 23, 2010 Quirino Grandstand Bus Hostage Drama
I would like to share an article circulating online on facebook and blogs. I am not sure if this one is authentic and if Mr. Bang Lu Min really exist as one of the survivors..... But what the heck.... read on and feel the goosebumps.... (the same goosebumps I felt when I heard Ms. Venus Raj's Major Major! ^_^ )
Mr. Mendoza was already upset even before he saw on television what the policemen did to his brother. The other tourists who remained inside the bus were complaining. Wei Ji Jiang wanted to go to the bathroom. Dao Chi Yu was hungry and the rest were just groaning and whining like they have forgotten that our lives rest in Mr. Mendoza's hands. The hostage taker, as you know him was really nice. He treated us okay and even let the elders and the children leave the bus. He said your policemen treated him unfairly. He was a policeman too and was accused of doing something he had no knowledge of. But your government didn't listen so he used us to get everyone's attention.
Things would have never turned for the worst if he didn't see how his family was dragged out of their house and taken into custody. He was watching the news all the time as we huddled around each other behind the bus. He shouted some words in your language then started shooting in the air. A girl about my age started screaming. Mr. Mendoza demanded her to stop but she didn't understand English. God, he had to slash her neck with a knife just to put her to rest. Her boyfriend who tried to hit him was shot in the head. Tension was rising. You can see in his face how scared and confused he was.
The bus driver ran away leaving him alone with strangers from a distant land. I can see him walking across the aisle, sometimes pointing his machine gun to one of the tourists. But he tried his best not to hurt us, especially those who really cooperate. I guess its in your nature not to inflict pain on others unless it was necessary. I remember him saying that he will free us before sundown and implored us to forget everything when we return home. But his words don't matter now. The policemen were trying to force their way in, while we all lied down to shield ourselves from bullets. Mister Mendoza blindly shoots at his enemies which I think kept them from rescuing us. I hear sobs under the chairs. Some were even shouting the names of their loved ones even when the air merely eat their words. Kevin Tang tried to escape when the glass door was was shattered, but one shot and he slumped on the floor with blood gushing from his mouth. Heavy rain pitter-pattered on the rooftop. In old Chinese saying, it means an end to a struggle.
Finally, somebody was able to open the escape hatch at the back of the bus. Freedom. But I knew Mister Mendoza was still alive. I knew he was just waiting for a chance to strike back at his enemies. So I told those around me not to escape. Let the authorities come for us instead. Then there was gunfire. He was firing at his enemies with a machine gun. Those who were at the escape hatch fled abandoning us once again. It's like a nightmare with no end and to wake up means a certain death.
Then somebody from outside the bus threw a canister. It forced out a black smoke that is so painful to the eyes and putrid smelling to the nose. People started screaming. We cannot breathe. Some ran in front of the bus but Mister Mendoza warned them of stray bullets. It was too late. One was hit on the head, the other was hit on the shoulders. Bullets were now flying. Its like the authorities thought we were all dead. Mister Mendoza finally admits his mistake and said sorry to everyone, dead or alive. He then ran towards the front of the bus where he would meet his maker. As he passed by my chair with bullets whistling overhead, I clutched my hand on the velvet curtain and wrapped it around my face. All I could think of was to stay alive - for my child who is waiting for me back in Xinjang. I know I will survive, I will come home.

Major Major!...... Major Disaster on Venus Raj's Answer
I was not able to watch the live streaming of Ms. Universe 2010 since I was at work but I have my prayers and is rooting for our bet Ms. Venus Raj. She seems to be a very confident and talented lady...... not until she answered the final question and answer portion for the Top 5 candidates.
Here’s the question: What is the one biggest mistake that you have made in your life and what did you do to make it right?
And here’s her answer:
“You know what, sir, in my 22 years of existence I can say that there’s nothing major, major problem that I’ve done in my life because I’m very confident with my family with the love that they are giving to me. So thank you so much that I’m here. Thank you, thank you so much!”
Anyhooo.... I am so major major proud of her! ^_^ Philippines 4th placer in the Ms. Universe Pageant!. Congrats Ms. Venu Raj! The last time Philippines won a major award in the Ms. Universe Pageant was 1999 with Ms. Mirriam Quiambao as 1st placer for Ms. Botswana. In fairness, Venus Raj only shows that she has a positive outlook in life that whatever problem or mistake she went through, she never considered it as a hindrance.
I would be nervous too if I had to answer that same question..... but I would like to share the answer from a friend in FB....
Here is what he would answer if he we’re in Venus Raj’s position…..
” I am a human being, it’s normal to make mistakes.Every time we stumble and fall, its an opportunity to stand up and fight. I don’t really believe in major mistakes instead I advocate major learnings which made the person that I am today…” – John M.
Kabog!

Here is the translation of Ms. Venus Raj's answer into Bekimon language:
"Sa wadey-wadey kez pagkashoo ditey sa earthlaloo, waley namang BONGGANG BONGGANG nyoblem sa buhayla kez. Kasi confing-confi si watashi sa nyomily rubbing alcohol kez at mahalia jones nila si watashi! Tenkyubells tenkyubells at nanditey akez!"
aylavit!!! *tumbling* ^_^

Here are the Top 5 constestants Q&A:
Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete: What effect is unsupervised Internet use having on today's youth? Through an interpreter, she says the Internet is an "indispensable, necessary tool" and we have to make sure kids are using it according to family values.
Miss Australia Jesinta Campbell: What role should the government play in regulating potentially offensive clothing? "One of the greatest things we have is the freedom of choice...I don't think the government should have any say in what we wear."
Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillipps: Is the death penalty acceptable and why? "I believe that life is a gift...I believe that none of us as humans have the right to take a life."
Miss Ukraine Anna Poslavska: How do you feel about full-body scanners in airports? Through an interpreter, she says, "I think it's a very important question of security...if that helps us to save the lives of people, then I'm for it."
Miss Philippines Venus Raj: What is one big mistake you've made and what did you do to make it right? She says she hasn't made any major mistakes, then gives a shout-out to her family. "Thank you so much that I am here."
OK, that was the worst answer of the bunch.

Megan Fox: Married!?
Yes….. Ms. Foxy is already married!
Transformers' actress ties the knot with long-time beau Brian Austin Green.With all the pressure I get from being asked by everyone and seeing all my friends getting married left and right…. I can relate to Megan’s “I’m not one of those girls…” ….. One of these days…. in the near distant future… I’m going to elope with Sweetypie and only a few close friends will know. *winks*
ON-off-on-again celeb lovebirds Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have gotten married, and we have the pictures to prove it.
The couple tied the knot in secret last Thursday in Hawaii at a small ceremony with only half a dozen guests. The nuptials took place at the Four Seasons Resort on the Big Island and Brian's eight-year-old son Kassius - who he has from a previous relationship with Vanessa Marcil - gave his dad away, according to gossip website TMZ.
Megan previously hinted that when she did wed it would be discreet.
Said the sultry 24-year-old 'Transformers' star: 'It's not going to be a big wedding. I'm not one of those girls - if it happens, it will be very low-key and quick and unplanned.'
Brian - who made his name in TV show 'Beverly Hills 90210' - also admitted the pair would prefer discreet nuptials, saying: 'Originally we were talking elopement and now we might have a few people there. Source: http://news.ph.msn.com/photogallery.aspx?cp-documentid=4188899

Glad that I don't Live in Iran!!!... where a Cleric said Dogs are "unclean"
I think this Iranian cleric is absurd!..... he along with all the dog-meat-eaters-in-Asia should all be condemned. I have never known a love so unconditional like the way my dog does for me and my family. I could never trade anything for the happiness Bachie gives me whenever she sees us. And honestly, My love for dogs will not be tainted with the ramblings from this stupid religious fanatic. It is so ridiculous for him to say that Dogs are "Unclean"! As if naman the people from Iran are all clean ha?! Baka nga mas mabango pa si Bachie ko kesa sa kanila eh! Hmmmmpf! *mainit na ang ulo* Haven't he heard of Gelert, Bobby, Shep, or Hachiko? Who are the most loyal dogs ever in history and even if their masters are dead..... their unconditional love extends beyond grave. These dogs patiently waited for their masters and was never discouraged by heat or cold. Gelert even gave up his life for his master's son. So to fine anyone on their country for just playing with dogs in public is absolute lunacy!
Source: http://newsfeed.time.com/2010/06/21/iranian-cleric-dogs-too-unclean-to-be-pets/#ixzz0rZUSZcMdMan’s best friend is too filthy to be kept in Iran. That’s the verdict from cleric Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, who issued a religious ruling (a fatwa, in the Islamic faith) decrying the practice of keeping dogs as pets.
“Friendship with dogs is a blind imitation of the West,” Shirazi said, according to a Reuters report. “There are lots of people in the West who love their dogs more than their wives and children.”
Iranians face fines for bringing dogs out in cars or playing with them in public parks. Shirazi says Islamic tradition teaches that dogs are “unclean.” (Reuters, via Calgary Herald)
