Around a year ago in Iran, I took these in Shiraz, Isfahan, and Ghalat. From the anti regime and police protests to workers strikes all across the country, each one of these pics has come to life.

there’s got to be an easier more efficient way of making plans than going back and forth in a groupchat.

we need to publicize this. as soon as the yt ppl learn about the dogs, they will become the fiercest advocates for iran ….

[Arsalan Naamdar @arsalannaamdar]

One issue I truly hope will finally be correctly addressed post revolution, is the stray dog situation in Iran.

Iran has absolutely beautiful dogs. They are gentle, affectionate, and remarkably calm.

I’m the type of person who will run up to a dog and start petting it without hesitation, often forgetting that a dog could react aggressively, especially in Iran, where many of these poor animals have endured harsh lives.

Yet I have never had a single negative experience with stray dogs in Iran. I have carried them, washed them, and cared for them, and not once did they show any sign of aggression.

There are compassionate individuals trying to help where they can. Some people have built small informal networks with local butchers to collect leftover bones and scraps so they can at least feed the dogs.

These efforts come from genuine care and personal sacrifice. But this is not a structural solution. It is only a bandage on a deep wound.

The current way the government handles the stray population is cruel and inhumane.

Dogs are captured, their mouths are taped shut, and they are left to slowly starve.

At the same time, ordinary people face heavy restrictions on keeping dogs. Small dogs can sometimes be hidden inside apartments, but larger ones are nearly impossible to keep.

If you walk your dog outside, you risk it being confiscated. Even inside your own home, a hostile neighbor can report you simply for owning a dog, and authorities can act on that complaint.

This creates an environment where ownership is punished, while the real problem continues unchecked on the streets.

What Iran needs is a humane, practical, and modern solution:

1. A nationwide Catch–Neuter–Vaccinate–Release (CNVR) program

2. Properly managed municipal shelters with medical standards

3. Public education and cultural change

We have many urgente matters to attend to after this vile and evil regime falls.
