In addition, the bill also stipulates that for some animals including crocodiles, cats, turtles, and rabbits, once "import, trading, transportation, and breeding" occur, a fine of about 800 US dollars will occur.

Dr. Piam Mohbi, chairman of the Iranian Veterinary Association, said in an interview that as early as 10 years ago, the debate around this bill had opened. "At that time, a group of members tried to promote a law. Confisca all pet dogs and send them to the zoo or throw them in the desert. "

According to Mohbi, for many years, the Iranian Parliament has been discussing the bill, and even proposed a corporal punishment of the dog owner, but has not achieved substantial progress.

"I dare not apply for a license to my dog. What if I was rejected? I can't leave it on the street." Martha said.

For local dog lovers, this is not good news. However, the situation may be worse for those who are raised.
