Iran: Terrified camel slashed open at public event! Support Animal Rights Now!

The shocking video of a camel being cut open with a huge knife at a public event in Iran is making the rounds on social media. The footage shows how a large number of people gather around to see the camel being sacrificed in the name of religion. The men in charge of the operation tie the camel up, before slicing the animal, as the crowd makes a large, cheerful noise. Moments after, the camel falls to the ground and bleeds on the tarmac. But the wound is not deep enough and the terrified animal is able to get up and escape, as the crowd starts running and shouting in panic.

The camel leaves a trail of blood behind, as it runs away in complete distress, hitting several cars during the process.

Exclusive: Punish thugs that cut dog’s ears off and posed for photos!

Iran currently has no animal protection laws and none of the people responsible for this will ever be held accountable. But it is not just animals such as camles who have the suffer the indifference of the authorities or the general population. Cats and dogs are severely mistreated on a daily basis. For instance, in many parts of the country street dogs are regarded as ‘vermin’ and routinely poisoned. In Tehran, local authorities are screening people that are walking their pets on the street or in parks and confiscate them without hesitation. The pets are taken to the local pound, where they are euthanized without any justification. There are numerous cases of cruelty to animals and none of them is ever investigated.

These are just a few examples of why Iran is in desperate need to adopt animal welfare laws. The country’s president, Hassan Rouhani, has made important steps in connecting with the United States and other Western countries. By lifting the decade old trade embargo, Iran is looking towards a new era of Western cooperation. We, the undersigned, sincerely hope that Iran will learn from Western countries to treat animals with dignity and respect and therefore implement animal welfare laws as soon as possible.

Help stop this senseless and needless suffering of our beloved animals in Iran. Support the animal rights laws in Iran now by signing and sharing this petition.

Thank you.
