Banning dogs from taxi? That's just unreasonable...Originally posted by dakkon_blackblade:Maybe we should just ban dogs from taxis, or make some guidelines for cabbies to clean their vehicles after a dog had been in it.
Anyway, I think cats' tongues are more likely to be dirtier than dogs', since cats use their tongues to clean themselves, and dogs don't.
Also, just curious, why are Muslims not allowed to eat pork? Is it the dirtiness thing again?

Q: why did SLAPPY want to buy dog tags?? unless...............

animals when slaughtered are recited a few prayers and cut on their neck.the jugular vein is cut off. the thing abt pigs is that they have a big neck and their jugular veins are well-embedded beneath their neck, thus making an instant death for the pig hard to carry out. the Islam law wants the animal to die an instant, painless death. hope that answered ur question.Originally posted by dakkon_blackblade:Also, just curious, why are Muslims not allowed to eat pork?

me too wouldnt want to ban dogs frm taxies. but, dogs in carriers please?Originally posted by DrTech:Banning dogs from taxi? That's just unreasonable...
If i'm not wrong... the restrictions on pork is also due to filth...
I'm not going against the religion here... but if you did something wrong unknowingly, you should not be blamed for it. How would you know if there's lard or not? (Referring to lard spilt onto tables and stuff) So how would you know if it is dog's saliva? Besides... dog's saliva is probably everywhere... And they aren't really the source of the problem. I just feel that this case is just purely over-reacting... Correct me if I'm wrong... I feel that it's just not fair to the dogs and their owners.
really? i tot they use a bolt gun n fire a bolt to the animals head..killing it instantly.Originally posted by sinicker:animals when slaughtered are recited a few prayers and cut on their neck.the jugular vein is cut off. the thing abt pigs is that they have a big neck and their jugular veins are well-embedded beneath their neck, thus making an instant death for the pig hard to carry out. the Islam law wants the animal to die an instant, painless death. hope that answered ur question.

I understand that going through the cleansing process is very troublesome... or inconvenient... But wouldn't keeping dogs in carriers a kind of imprisonment...?Originally posted by sinicker:me too wouldnt want to ban dogs frm taxies. but, dogs in carriers please?
i think i shud divide the word "unknowingly" to "unknowingly w/o taking precautions" and "unknowingly with taking precaution". it's okay if ppl say we're over-reacting, we're just taking precautions. we do not want to go thru the cleansing of the body part involved with mud/clay 7 times just because we were too careless with ourselves.![]()
A muzzle is still a form of restriction... that's how dogs lose heat from their bodies... I feel it's just not fair to the dogs... just because of our religions... or beliefs...Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:A compromised has definitely to be achieved.
If not people will be calling for dogs to be caged up and animal lovers will be unhappy.
Vice Versa , so im thinking of writing something like a muzzle to the straits times.
Makes both muslims happy and dog lovers happy.
