From breed-specific legislation and zero-tolerance shelter policies to insurance bans and housing rules, decisions driven by optics rather than evidence are quietly reshaping the human–dog relationship. This isn’t about irresponsible ownership or denying real risks, it’s about whether law, science, and common sense are being replaced by ideology and liability avoidance, with dogs paying the price.</description><image><url>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/images/Logo380x132.png</url><title>SI - America's War on Dogs                                       </title><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/subject.aspx?subjectid=60465</link><width>380</width><height>132</height></image><ttl>10</ttl><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] Herding Ducks  [youtube video]</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description /><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35463256</link><pubDate>3/21/2026 12:58:46 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] UK considering ban on 67 dog breeds for ‘animal health’ — oh, and coincidentally...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;UK considering ban on 67 dog breeds for ‘animal health’ — oh, and coincidentally, Islam hates dogs &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mar 6, 2026 11:00 am &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/samir' target='_blank'&gt;Robert Spencer&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/03/uk-considering-ban-on-67-dog-breeds-for-animal-health-oh-and-coincidentally-islam-hates-dogs#comments' target='_blank'&gt;10 Comments&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The  idea that these breeds must be banned because they are unhealthy is  ridiculous on its face. Beagles and dachshunds and Scottish terriers and  great danes and so many other breeds that have been known and loved in  Britain and the U.S. from time immemorial are suddenly unhealthy and  have to be banned? It is much more likely that shattered, staggering,  dhimmi Britain’s far-left government is once again engaging in  Islamopandering on a massive scale.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Islam hates dogs, and Muhammad, according to Islamic tradition, ordered them killed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; “Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but  Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a  house which contains a picture or a dog.’” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; “Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s  Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we  would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog  that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied  the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.” — Sahih  Muslim 3811&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; “Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon  him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e.  about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for  hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the  dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the  eighth time.” — Sahih Muslim 551&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Beagle_puppy.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Beagle_puppy-300x174.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Coco the beagle as a puppy by Slyronit,  &lt;a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0' target='_blank'&gt;Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0&lt;/a&gt; “Revealed: The 67 dog breeds that could be banned in Britain… is YOUR pooch on the list?,” by Sophie Carlin,  &lt;a href='https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15615693/67-dog-breeds-banned-Britain-list.html' target='_blank'&gt;Daily Mail&lt;/a&gt;, March 5, 2026:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;Sixty-seven dog breeds could be banned in Britain if new  breeding guidelines set by parliament become mandatory, campaigners have  warned.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The all-party parliamentary group (APPG) for animal welfare has launched a new tool to determine if a dog is healthy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The cross-party committee has developed a 10-point checklist of  extreme physical characteristics which can make for a poorly pooch.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; They include mottled colouration, excessive skin folds, bulging  outward-turning eyes, drooping eyelids, under or overbite and a muzzle  that interrupts breathing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The assessment – which is currently voluntary but expected to become  law within five years – aims to drive out breeds with these sorts of  exaggerated attributes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; It comes after studies have shown animals of these varieties can sometimes suffer pain, discomfort and frustration from birth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; But critics have cautioned the new criteria will see some 67 of the  most popular types of dog in the UK automatically dubbed unhealthy,  according to The Times.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; This includes widely adored breeds like dachshunds, shih tzus and  Scottish terriers – and even the late Queen’s beloved Welsh corgis….&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35447761</link><pubDate>3/6/2026 3:50:25 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Tom Clarke] [X]

  2.3k&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Shocking images and reports of dogs being killed in Morocco have drawn global scrutiny of a campaign    &lt;a href='https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5621453/Stray-dogs-rounded-shot-Morocco-ahead-FIFA-delegation-visit.html' target='_blank'&gt;linked to the country&amp;#39;s 2030 World Cup preparations&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The North African nation was confirmed in 2023 as a co-host alongside    &lt;a href='https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/spain/index.html' target='_blank'&gt;Spain&lt;/a&gt;    and Portugal, a decision that animal rights groups claim has  coincided   with a widespread cull of strays across Moroccan cities. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Activists    have said the alleged effort aims to make cities and tourist hotspots    appear cleaner and safer, as well as more appealing to international    visitors, fans, and media, in an attempt to avoid negative perceptions    associated with strays.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;       An estimated three million stray dogs live on Morocco&amp;#39;s streets.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Animal    welfare organizations have released images and testimony alleging    Moroccan authorities are using harsh methods, including clamping dogs by    the neck, loading them into trucks and poisoning or shooting them    before disposing of their bodies in mass graves.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A  report   published last month described Marrakech, expected to host World  Cup   matches, as a &amp;#39;kill center&amp;#39;, where canines were transported in  white   vans and processed in warehouse facilities fitted with meat hooks  and   washable flooring.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Witnesses in other host cities alleged that dogs were starved for days before being burned alive at rubbish depots.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The    International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition (IAWPC) said    Morocco has a pattern of large-scale animal killings ahead of major    international events, arguing that organizations like FIFA are not    issuing orders but are effectively enabling the practice.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;img src='https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2026/02/17/15/106453085-15567173-image-a-14_1771343352470.jpg'&gt;              &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Morocco has been accused of killing stray dogs in its streets in a &amp;#39;clean up&amp;#39;

  Officials said the effort is  aimed at making cities and tourist   hotspots appear cleaner, safer, and  more appealing to international   visitors, fans, and media, in an attempt  to avoid negative perceptions   of stray animals during major global  events&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The coalition   submitted a  91-page dossier to FIFA, including photographs documenting   poisonings,  forced starvation, and the shooting of dogs. Despite the   evidence,  questions remain about how seriously the allegations are   being  addressed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#39;After the [World Cup confirmation], the extermination of the dogs has increased dramatically,&amp;#39; IAWPC said in a statement.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#39;As a result, the fear is that Morocco will now    &lt;a href='https://www.dailymail.co.uk/galleries/article-14281645/Three-million-dogs-killed-Morocco-ahead-FIFA-World-Cup.html' target='_blank'&gt;go ahead with their plan for the mass slaughter of three million dogs&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A    FIFA spokesperson told the Daily Mail that during its bid for the  2030   FIFA World Cup, Morocco emphasized its commitment to animal  welfare,   noting government efforts to expand clinics and support  programs for   stray dogs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#39;With the bidding process  now  completed, FIFA is  following up with its local counterparts with the   aim of ensuring  commitments are upheld,&amp;#39; the FIFA spokesperson   continued.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;FIFA  also said it is working  with the animal welfare  group IAWPC, which  convened a global panel of  senior legal and animal  welfare experts to  review Morocco&amp;#39;s draft regulations; their  recommendations have now been  submitted to Moroccan authorities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Morocco&amp;#39;s   Embassy in London  has denied the claims, insisting there is no cull  of  stray dogs and  citing what it described as the country&amp;#39;s commitment  to  humane and  sustainable animal management.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A  spokesman said  last year that  Morocco launched a Trap, Neuter,  Vaccinate, Release  program in 2019 and  is investing in clinics,  veterinary services, and  municipal hygiene  systems, adding: &amp;#39;It is  entirely untrue that Morocco  is planning to  cull stray dogs ahead of the  2030 FIFA World Cup.&amp;#39; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Join the debate&lt;br&gt;Should the World Cup be boycotted? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;img src='https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2026/02/17/17/106453089-15567173-image-a-15_1771347843368.jpg'&gt;              &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Images from the North African nation show men collecting dogs and putting them inside cages&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;img src='https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2026/02/17/20/106463903-15567173-image-a-96_1771360218154.jpg'&gt;              &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Hollywood actor Mark Ruffalo has thrown his support behind the IAWPC campaign to stop the killings&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However,   documents obtained by The Athletic reportedly show local authorities   ordered 1,000 rounds of ammunition in September 2025 to deal with stray   dogs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In its evaluation report for Morocco&amp;#39;s World Cup bid, FIFA cited the country&amp;#39;s commitment to animal welfare. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PETA    spokesman Catie Cryar told the Daily Mail: &amp;#39;Morocco hasn&amp;#39;t attempted   to  hide the fact that dogs are being poisoned, shot, and burned alive   to  "clean up" for the 2030 World Cup, as this report details, so no    investigation has been necessary. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#39;PETA  entities worldwide have   been protesting FIFA events, and tens of  thousands of PETA members  and  supporters have sent urgent appeals  calling on FIFA to withdraw   Morocco&amp;#39;s right to co-host the tournament unless it stops the dog   slaughter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#39;FIFA  needs to stop dogs from being gunned down in   its name, and it can start  by funding a spay/neuter program to help   solve the homeless-animal  crisis on Morocco&amp;#39;s streets.&amp;#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hollywood    actor Mark Ruffalo has thrown his support behind the IAWPC campaign  to   stop the killings in an X post that reads: &amp;#39;Killing millions of  dogs  to  prepare for a global sporting event is not progress, it&amp;#39;s a  moral   failure. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#39;The World Cup should unite the world, not be  built on  suffering that happens behind closed doors. Humane solutions  exist, and  choosing compassion over violence is a responsibility we all  share.&amp;#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;img src='https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2026/02/17/17/106453091-15567173-image-a-16_1771347849539.jpg'&gt;              &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; An estimated three million stray dogs live on Morocco&amp;#39;s streets&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;img src='https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2026/02/17/17/106459641-15567173-image-a-17_1771348098540.jpg'&gt;              &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;   Animal welfare organizations  have released images and testimony   alleging Moroccan authorities are  using harsh methods, including   clamping dogs by the neck, loading them  into trucks and poisoning or   shooting them before disposing of their  bodies in mass graves&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The    International Animal Coalition has launched a campaign to expose what   it  calls &amp;#39;Morocco&amp;#39;s ugly secret&amp;#39;, detailing horrifying methods used  to   kill stray dogs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They claim dogs are being poisoned with strychnine, injected directly into their bodies or fed through bait.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gunmen reportedly patrol the streets around the clock, shooting the animals and often leaving them wounded to die in agony.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Other    dogs are said to be trapped with clamping devices, thrown into  trucks,   and transported to facilities where they are inhumanely  killed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The  coalition alleges that since FIFA&amp;#39;s announcement  in  2023, the killings  have dramatically increased, despite Moroccan   authorities claiming in  August 2024 that the initiative had been  halted.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The   psychological well-being and moral development of  children witnessing   the reported dog slaughter in Morocco have also  become a growing focus   for the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child  (UNCRC). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In   September 2023, the committee issued General  Comment 26, in support of   Article 19 of the Convention on the Rights  of the Child,  stating:  &amp;#39;Children must be protected from all forms of  physical and   psychological violence and from exposure to violence,  such as domestic   violence or violence inflicted on animals.&amp;#39;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35430824</link><pubDate>2/18/2026 2:16:21 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] Wake County Deputy dog shooting case back in spotlight   [youtube video]</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description /><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35430823</link><pubDate>2/18/2026 2:15:18 PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
