The lady in the video is concerned about the dog’s suffering. I don’t know if many Arab Muslims would give it a second thought.

Muslims do not keep dogs as pets.

They consider them unclean (similar to the way they view pigs).

Pigs cannot be eaten because they are not kosher. Dogs, too, are not kosher. However, while we do not eat pork, based on a biblical prohibition, which would include dogs in the same prohibition, that doesn’t mean that we cannot raise pigs on a farm on a farm or have a dog as a pet. We just can’t consume them.

I heard that as well but why are there so many dogs in Iraq? I see dogs every once in a while in those video’s out of Iraq.
