Unfortunately dogs are considered unclean by many muslims, which would explain their actions.

Well I think Muslims are unclean going by the state of this country but it doesn't give me the right to stone them.

The only reason for their actions in my mind I'd their ignorance.

So who took this photo - hmmm

Anyone who s*its over a hole with two foot plates, wipes their arse with one hand and eats with the other is pretty weird to me. Anyone who stones a dog in company with their owner needs a slap.

Yep especially when we were 10 to 15 Feet away from them and all dogs on leads.. I was tempted to let them off the leads just to teach her a lesson ...poor ela let out with a yelp and jumped .

The woman is very very lucky I didn't throw a rock back at her .

Bitch

It is one culture clash I do see in different places, with the attitudes of locals versus Brits, and also some other northern Europeans, towards dogs and certain other animals.

The northerners often think it's an education problem.

But I think it isn't really - it's just a different cultural attitude towards specific animal species. After all, it's not like you have vegans on the one side and carnivores on the other. (And people who eat animals obviously do treat at least some animals pretty shitly. And then make clothing out of their skins, like Hannibal Lecter )

That's a great picture .....

You do realise two thirds of the worlds population use squat toilets and wash themselves, rather then using paper? Not my preferred method but we are actually in the minority
I agree about the dogs but it's their country and their religion. I believe dogs can be kept for hunting and guarding but should not be allowed in the house and physical contact with dogs should be kept to a minimum, which is probably why there are so many strays, they've probably run away from their owners.

No excuse for throwing stones at them though

It is inevitably political though.

The Spanish flu was not known as the Spanish flu in Spain. It was the French flu there.

And Trump, that delicate arbiter of etiquette, once referred to Covid as Kung Flu.

Aids was initially known by some as GRID (gay-related immune deficiency).

But flu is just flu.

And haven't you now gone and weaponised it against those with Multiple Personality Disorder (or Dissociative Identity Disorder in the current nomenclature) and also against people whose ... proclivities may not match your own?

I'd be careful. There are many cautionary tales in fiction - eg Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Fight Club - that suggest that you may not want to rile the mild-mannered Clark Kent.

No idea what you on but for your own good I’d give it a rest.
I’m sure no one wants your retoric drivel spoiling Tams thread.

If it was a culture thing then all Muslims would do it surely .

I don't believe it is , I think it's just certain scumbags who think they can get away with it. If I'd have been in any eu country that woman would have had a rock thrown back at her.

The only reason I didn't was because I don't trust anyone in this country including the police.

After seeing the state of the chickens etc here too I wouldn't buy any chicken or meat here either . I'm glad I brought a fair bit with me in the freezer .

While I appreciate there is poverty etc here , every person has a phone they're always on them ,they can therfore see the outside world and how a civilised society behaves. Also most of the cars parked here yesterday were 4/5 years old etc so the people here on the beach werent/aren't poor or uneducated as I doubt cars are cheap here.
I do personally feel a lot of people gloss over or excuse the culture etc here under the banner of poverty etc but I think on the whole it's a cop out .

There is poverty for sure.... but it doesn't excuse the squalor etc , the amount of families I watched yesterday just throwing their trash on the beach and leaving it behind them was unreal.

The only country I've seen thst comes close to the behaviour was Turkey.... closely followed by Albania...and sadly all three have one major thing in common .

And dare I say it because I'm normally the first to say you can't judge that way but I'm starting to see why many big UK cities are becoming the way they are .

It's quite eye opening

Not in the UK, no. In Morocco?

In any country.

They were on a lead by my side .

It wouldn't matter what country we were in

I suggest you two read Rule 1. There are better ways to say that without resorting to being rude.

 

[jumar]

Great photos of the dogs and those colourful buildings too.
You write with a great deal of positivity today Tam...makes great reading.

 

[scotzsue]

Brilliant photos Tam give Ela an extra hug from me.
Good to see you getting back on form.

 

[Scotch mist]

Just as well that woman throwing stones was a bad shot
As She might have got you

Aye and if she had id likely be in a Moroccan jail tonight as I'd have beaten her with a stick and peed on her

 

[Carol]

Good to see the photos poor Ela hopefully she's not too sore. You do see and come across some strange things in Morocco we were with a group from Fun in Morocco taking a bus ride and the women were looking properly down their noses at us , they had little posies waving them under their noses, it certainly wasn't us smelling then this woman all covered up from head to toe wafting hers posie around processed to pee her self on the bus, and just sat there as if it hadn't happened, it was talked about for quite a while.

I have to admit I really enjoyed our time there and these Moroccan threads brings it back but much has changed over the last few years not sure I'd enjoy it as much now.
When we were there if the police pulled you over for speeding or anything they would walk around the van and put a little yellow cross on your tyre so if your pulled over again it gives the police more info on you, we had a little yellow cross on our van.

Glad it's not Flu and just a cold.
