They are worse than any animal.
Arab or Arabized mudslimes consider dogs to be garbage. They know westerners, especially from cultures that have British or German antecedents idolize woof-woofs. This is how Arabs think. They knew cruelty to little dogs would upset the Israeli soldiers so that struck the human garbage that perpetrated this act as the cream of the jest. Do something to hurt dogs and upset Israelis at the same time. The pedophile prophet would be pleased. After all Jews are less than dogs to mudslime Arabs.
