It’s very compassionate of PETA India to care so much about the milk of animals, especially dogs considering they are called a human’s best friend. But one wonders why is PETA India so silent about what happens to dogs during Islamic festivals.

The folks at @PetaIndia want to force Amul to become vegan and give up dairy in the name of animal cruelty. Since they are self-appointed saviors of animals, could they also campaign to stop indiscriminate slaughter of dogs by lethal injection by Muslims during Ramadan?

Traditionally, dogs have been seen as impure, & the Islamic legal tradition has developed several injunctions that warn Muslims against contact with dogs. Many have used this view to justify the abuse and neglect of dogs

During Ramadaan, there’s a flood of thousands of Muslims taking their dogs to animal hospitals to have them put to death by lethal injection. The reason often touted is , “It is the month of Ramadan, and my religous texts forbids me to keep a dog.”

At other times dogs may also be neglected in Muslim homes during illness until the disease has progressed to an almost terminal state. This is because they are scared about the many Islamic religious injunctions that make it impermissible for them to touch a dog at home.

The Islamic Hadiths are a collection of traditions containing sayings of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) which, with accounts of his daily practice (the Sunna), constitute the major source of guidance for Muslims apart from the Koran.

The Hadiths clearly state that keeping a dog inside the house is not allowed in Islam under any circumstances, and angels will not enter a house which has pictures, idols or a dog. Keeping a dog deducts from a Muslim's reward in heaven everyday.

It is these instructions in Hadith that make many Muslims wary of keeping a dog at home, & the fear of incurring religious demerit is heightened during festivals like Ramadan. Even Muslims with service dogs sometimes get afraid enough to euthanize their pets for this reason.

Dogs have historically been considered impure and are said to manifest evil spirits called Jinns by ancient Muslims. Specifically black dogs are considered Shaitaan or devils. It is permissible for Muslims to kill them according to the Hadith.

Doesn’t this cruel inhumane practice of Muslims slaughtering helpless innocent dogs deserve to be highlighted by PETA India? Unless the truth is there is a very specific & selective agenda to only target the particular culture of Hindus for “reform” according to them?
