We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

It’s a dog’s life

Dogs and their owners could become the latest target of a clampdown on moral corruption in Iran after a hardline cleric called for canines of all shapes to be arrested. Gholamreza Hassani, Friday prayer leader in the northwestern city of Urumiyeh said:

“I call on the judiciary to arrest all long-legged, medium- legged and short-legged dogs along with their long-legged owners… Otherwise I’ll do it myself.”

Commentators noted that in his latest comments, Hassani appeared to be widening the net of his anti-canine campaign since last year when he thanked police for confiscating short-legged dogs in Urumiyeh.
