GeckoTree Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Trying to think of a possible reason a captured dog would be released back to the enemy. Nup can't find one. I would hope it will be looked after by some warlord as a trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I found this on a site about animals in Islam. I have no idea if it's credible. But there's a reference to the Koran: Animals in War Even in war, animals cannot be killed except if needed for food. Hazrat Abu Bakr, the first Caliph after the death of the Holy Prophet Muhammad(s) (632-634 A.C.) addressed the Muslim army at a place outside Medina, called Jorf, before sending them off for the battle of Muta. Among the instructions he gave to the soldiers was not to slaughter animals except for food. (The Qur'an, 22:40; Tabari III, p. 123).

Nekhbet Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 That dog wont be looked after if it is a 'spoil of war'. Poor Malinois, let him go home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I very much fear for his safety, considering the situation and the type of people that have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwp4me Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The bravest among them are awarded medals, the unlucky ones will be unrecognisable - after they have been brave, too. Slaves, obey your earthly masters. Watching his georgeous eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Interesting that the Taliban spokesperson is quoted as saying Colonel is 'alive and well' .... & his fate would be determined later. He added 'well'. Just speculating ... but I wonder if they're thinking they might be able to strike a deal ...for something they want ... to return the dog, alive & well. Not that I'd expect the US military authorities to agree to something like that. Edited February 11, 2014 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
