CNN doesn’t even come close to explaining why this is happening. It’s because Islam hates dogs:
“Narrated `Aisha: “The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, ‘Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people).’ I said, ‘You have made us (i.e. women) dogs.’ I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away. for I disliked to face him.” — Sahih Bukhari 8.158.511
“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
“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
“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
“The US sent bomb-sniffing dogs to Jordan. Now they’re dying from poor treatment,” by Jessie Yeung, CNN, September 16, 2019 (thanks to Mike):
(CNN)Bomb-sniffing dogs sent from the United States to its Middle Eastern ally Jordan are falling ill and dying due to poor treatment and negligence, a federal investigation has found.
A year-long evaluation by inspectors at the State Department found that at least 10 such dogs in Jordan died between 2008 and 2016 from medical problems. Even those who survive are suffering from “unhealthy conditions,” such as inadequate kennels, poor sanitation, and overwork.
Photos in the report, published last week, show emaciated dogs with ribs protruding from their sides. Their nails are overgrown, and their ears are home to ticks so engorged they have likely been feasting on the dogs for days. In some facilities, there weren’t any dog bowls — the handlers fed the dogs by simply throwing food on the floor.
For more than 20 years, the US has sent bomb-sniffing and specially trained dogs to partner nations under an anti terrorism assistance program. Despite spending “millions of dollars” training and dispatching the dogs, State Department officials failed to ensure their health and welfare, said the report, which was launched after a hotline complaint about the dogs’ treatment….
Steve says
The American armed forces have been so overrun with left wing progressive commies this is the new norm.
bob kelly says
Why is the state department not going to rescue them and bring them home ??? Whats a wrong with these Government people. Fucken Arabs and muslims all they want to do is torch-er anything that is alive
Leslie Fish says
Enough of this madness! Bring the dogs home and don’t send those rag-head idiots any more. Tell them to sniff for bombs themselves.

Bomb-sniffing dogs US sent to Jordan are dying from poor treatment
……………..
God, how horrifying–just look at that picture.
This gives the lie to the claim that Islam only objects to keeping dogs as pets, but loves working dogs.
Dar-al-Islam is a cesspool of animal cruelty, especially for dogs. That my own nation foolishly sent a Muslim country dogs is appalling. I am going to write my officials–I hope they stop this program and rescue the dogs who are still alive.
AnneM04031959 says
There is only one breed of dog, which the Muslim royals in the Persian Gulf area use for hunting, but that is about it.
gravenimage says
When Muhamemd went on his orgy of murdering dogs–supposedly because an angel would not enter his house because there was a little puppy under his bed–Muslims begged him to spare working dogs. But Muslims so often treat even working dogs like crap.
barbaracvm1 says
We take back our dogs. Why should we let them have our trained dogs when they just murder them They HATE dogs no matter how much the dog tries to do his job. Since they do not appreciate what the animals are doing we are not obligated to give them our dogs. NO MORE
mortimer says
Many Americans are dog-lovers … even dog-worshipers. They couldn’t care less about Islam’s treatment of religious minorities, but they care a lot about the way animals are treated !!!
When Islam abuses ANIMALS, then the animal-lovers start to be open to Islam’s mistreatment of humans.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, I care about humans *and* animals. I think most civilized people do.
mortimer says
Dear GI, PRESENT COMPANY NOT INCLUDED IN MY PREVIOUS COMMENT… of course.
Point of my post … perhaps not fully clear … is that SOME animal-lovers have been AROUSED ABOUT ISLAM *ONLY* after they discovered that Mohammed commanded killing all the dogs, lizards and snakes in Arabia. Lots of Muslims follow Mohammed’s inhumane attitude towards animals, because he is ‘the perfect man’ in Islam.
SOME American animal-lovers HAD NOT been TRIGGERED by 9-11 or by Islam’s murder of 270 million kafirs, but by Islam’s HATRED OF DOGS expressed by many Muslims in the TV series ‘American Muslim’. It was EXPOSED TO THEM for the first time by the TV show ‘AMERICAN MUSLIM’ … and it was that ISLAMIC AVERSION TO DOGS that led to the cancellation of the show!
That animal aversion within Islam was the LAST STRAW for many Americans … they were turned off by it.
SOME Americans no doubt thought, if Muslims hate ANIMALS so much, what will they do to our pets?
This article SHOWS what Muslims do to dogs when the world is not watching them !
gravenimage says
I get your point, Mortimer. Thanks–and I agree.
smoris says
it is generally true that someone who will mistreat an animal is very likely to mistreat humans, especially those physically weaker than themselves – women and children. There is no reason for us to be sending anything or anyone to the Middle East. We should shut them out instead. Jordan is not worth saving from blowing up. Neither is Saudi Arabia. These countries are the source of terror. It is in their blood and in their religion and philosophy. We should have nothing whatsoeve to do with them and we should keep them out of our own country. Period.
Joss says
Heartedlt agree – let the muslims find tge bombs themselves. After all, they’re very willing to plant bombs on the dirty karar!
Greyhound Fancier says
Anyone who is that cruel to dogs is no friend of mine. I became aware of the Islamic hostility to dogs right after 911, when CNN, of all media outlets, showed footage of Islamic terrorists testing poison gas by administering it to dogs in booths.
I remember going to a beautiful public garden in the Midwest. Someone had brought their wee little dog on a walk in the garden. A family of Muslims were also visiting the garden. They had two toddlers who were terrified of the little dog (which appeared quite friendly).
I thought, “What is wrong with people like this?”
I believe that the theory that Mo the pedophile prophet hated dogs, because the dogs warned the victims of the caravan raids that the Muslims conducted against their neighbors. Sick, sad people!
gravenimage says
True, smoris–most serial killers stared out abusing and torturing animals.
DHazard says
Imagine the difference if Muhammad 1. hadn’t treated women and non-Muslims as inferior to Muslim men, 2. was OK with some alcohol consumption and, 3. liked dogs. Then again, imagine the difference if Muhammad had never been born.
ntesdorf says
You can judge people by the way they treat their animals. Islam is easily judged by the wy it treats dogs. Bring the dogs home.
Peter says
Muslims treat ALL animals as beasts to be beaten. Dogs, especially.
Paul J says
Don’t forget something to have sex with as well; goats, donkeys etc. A dog is a greater friend than ANY muslim, and better company.
gravenimage says
Yes.
mortimer says
Yes. Ayatollah Khomein wrote:
”A man can have sex with animals such as sheep¹s, cows, camels and so on.
However he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village, however selling the meat to the next door village should be fine.”
From Khomeini’s book, “Tahrirolvasyleh”, fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom,
Iran, 1990
”A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However he should not penetrate, sodomising the child is OK. If the man penetrates and damages the child then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however does not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl’s sister.”

PETA *does* condemn Halal slaughter:
“The Cruelty Behind Muslim Ritual Slaughter”
https://www.peta.org/blog/cruelty-behind-muslim-ritual-slaughter/
a day in the sun says
How disgusting. Dogs are no more “ritually impure” or “dirty” than any other animal. God made them all, and said it was good. “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.” Genesis 1:31. No mercy, no pity among these benighted people. Bring our doggos back.
mortimer says
Dear ADITS: Islam’s teaching about impurity is what we are discussing:
Among things that are najasun (plural of najis, translated variously as “impure” or “filthy”) are the following:
*dirt
*human urine and feces
*other liquids that come out of private parts (presumably including sperm)
*excrement from animals
*menstrual blood
*dog saliva
*dead animals
*donkey’s flesh
*the foul smell that accrues on a long hem of a woman’s abaya over time from contact with the dirt
*the urine from a breast-fed baby
And these are not merely “dirty” things for physical hygiene — they directly relate to a Muslim’s “purity” during prayer.
Among the list above, for example, we see “menstrual blood” — and that is why we see Muslim women girls not only segregated from Muslim males (as is customary in general) but also segregated from the other females during prayer — because they happen to be in the process of menstruation.
smoris says
So . . . why is it that we send them valuable dogs?
Anjuli Pandavar says
Because we do not understand what we are dealing with.
Joss says
smoris – becaue the top-end authorities’re completely ignorant of islam!

Exactly, Anjuli and Joss.

KWJ says
The US State Department must bring the remaining dogs home and never send dogs to other countries, many of which, whether Islamic or not, have bad animal rights records.
A lot of time goes into training bomb-sniffing dogs. Dogs have also been good friends to police and soldiers. Let foreign countries train their own animals. Maybe camels can learn.
Our State Dept has sucked for some time. Diplomacy has gotten so ridiculous at times and has also hurt American citizens as a result. Will they ever do the right and ethical thing?
Bring the dogs home and tell King Abdullah that the dogs’ treatment is unacceptable and they can figure out how to train their own bomb-sniffers.
There have been Muslims in Europe complaining about dogs and some mysterious poisonings. There is a video I saw of a town dumping dead dogs in the town square using a backhoe. There were many of them…really disgusting like the two Muslim guys who slaughtered a cow right in the back parking lot of Home Depot where employees and deliveries are. Apparently they don’t care where it happens.
smoris says
We send them dogs and they abuse them; we send them soldiers to train them and they kill them. Why are we now sending military aid to Saudi Arabia? Didn’t they kill enough of us on 9=11?

How can this be?
Aren’t their hadiths about the Prophet’s fondness for his two favorite dogs, Blacky and Drooly?
R Russell says
I wonder if your country’s laws can help. Is it possible that it could be illegal to pass a dog ‘s ownership over to those who have a history of being cruel to dogs?
Angemon says
Money thrown away, and easily avoidable animal cruelty. How about new rules? Poor treatment of bomb-sniffing dogs would be grounds for ending any and all help regarding combating terrorism.
Jan Disher says
I thought all the islam hated dogs. Of course, they would mistreat them. Bring them home!!
Chrissie says
why wouldn’t they place a reporting system in place. First incident of abuse: no more dogs. Mistreated dogs withdrawn immediately. Poor things! Makes me angry.
Pearls to the swine…

“why wouldn’t they place a reporting system in place”
Do you understand the leadership we have at the moment? That would require a functioning brain and there are none to be found at this time.
tgusa says
This is how they treat animals that are doing them a service by sniffing out the bombs that would blow them up. If that is the way they want to operate, I say forget it doggies, leave them bombs alone. They don’t deserve your efforts.
Marigold says
Thankyou Robert for especially drawing American attention to this atrocity because they probably don’t know about it.Dogs are part of God’s creation when all is said and done and should be looked after. I hope Americans will demand that the practice is stopped now they know.
Don’t get me wrong because I have always admired the generosity of Americans which started during WW2 when my pen pal used to send my family food parcels etc.However, I have to say in no uncertain terms that in this case American authorities are the bigger idiots for sending Jordan dogs in the first place.They can’t plead ignorance.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
These government officials are too stupid, arrogant and certain of themselves to consult experts like Robert Spencer on the wisdom of sending dogs to a Muslim country. They are too stupid, arrogant and certain of themselves to learn from their mistakes.
Proof that these US government officials cannot protect the American people and that, in fact, they are a threat to the safety of the American people.

They hate dogs and pigs. But who created dogs and pigs? 😉
