A video showing stray dogs being injected with a substance presumed to be acid in Iran has sparked outrage, prompting activists and celebrities to protest against animal cruelty.
The footage showed the dogs dying in agony after being injected in Shiraz, capital of Fars province. It was filmed by animal activists who alleged that the people who killed the dogs were paid $4 (£2.70) for each animal they injected with acid.
After the video circulated on social media, protesters gathered outside Shiraz's provincial department of environmental protection, demanding punishment for the killers, news agency IRNA reported.
Iran's Vice President Masoumeh Ebtekar called for an investigation and criticised the killings.
This is not the first time that the Islamic republic has sparked controversy regarding the treatment of dogs and their owners. Last November, the country proposed a bill punishing dog owners with 74 lashes if they were caught keeping a dog at home or walking the animal in public.
The new bill, if passed, would also punish those charged with dog-related offences to pay fines up to 100 million rials (£2,363).
"Anyone who walks or plays with animals such as dogs or monkeys in public places will damage Islamic culture, as well as the hygiene and peace of others, especially women and children," the draft law stated.

Horrible thing to do to dogs. I wonder if they get as outraged with the public stonings, lashings, and hangings of people?”
No outrage over the things done to people. That is just a part of their culture and therefor always accepted.
I’m outraged as well; however, I’m even more outraged that they do this $hit to innocent people.

Going to send this to every dam liberal I know!!! Obama ate dog meat!!!! you guys do know that right? I forgot how he said it tasted. sicko
I think we need to inject those subhumans with acid...battery acid would be my first choice...
Hitler loved dogs and was repulsed by animal cruelty.
Ya Know, you can cut off the heads of children avowing allegiance to Christ, and we’ll still give you the bomb, but ...this might get the libs to react a little
Sexual fetish of sadomasochistic actions against dogs? All Moslems are looking like degenerate perverts.
My dogs neither... I have a selfie like that only with a giant red poodle
ya know, It’s way past time for a little senseless slaughter of these miserable ****s. I hope Bibi scorches that earth.
Muzzies don’t like dogs ( reminds them of their mothers I guess ). That’s another reason to like dogs.
I wish I could be in charge of punishing those sick ba$tard$.
Canine loyalty and decency makes islamderthals look bad.
Send in the US Marines.......PETA finally asks for military intervention in Iran for Muslim dogs but not humans! ( sarc.)
Yes, that’s in the article too. Seventy-four is a lot of lashes. According to the article, they are adding more laws on dogs. If beheadings and stonings don’t get liberals filed up, this may!
seventy four is an awful lot!!! If we can get this out to the useful idiots it would be great. But seeBSNBCCNNMSNBseesnothing will never report.
Ugh! EXTREMELY difficult to watch. Those people are cruel through and through. :(
There is only one proper punishment for the demons that inject dogs with acid, enjoying their intense suffering...like punishment. Ditto for those who torture and murder people.
ISLAM DELENDA EST!
Moslems don’t like dogs because the dog can sense the evil in the moslem.
