Heroin dogs of Kabul: Shocking photos show homeless Afghan men giving Class A drug to stray mutts
Permalink   
 

Ahmad (not his real name) has been smoking heroin for several years, feeding his addiction through a mixture of stealing, begging and collecting plastic bottles for recycling. A mixed-breed stray dog, likely born on the streets of Kabul, lies nearby. Ahmad places a plastic bottle tight over the dog's nose and blows heroin smoke through the open top. After a few 'hits' the subdued dog stands and stares.

One of the homeless men explains that giving heroin to the stray dogs – which appear to be suffering the same effects of addiction as you would see in humans – means they return each night and provide both body heat and comfort to the addicts.

After a video emerged on social media in the summer of 2016 of a young dog showing disturbing signs of heroin addiction, there were reports that homeless men in Kabul were feeding the drug to the stray animals.

The Dodo shared the story of Nesha the dog who had been seen rubbing her head against the walls of a bridge in apparent discomfort, exhibiting distressing signs of addiction. 

Nesha had been living among the homeless addicts under the Pul-e-Sokhta bridge in Kabul and the video showed her being fed drugs and suffering in an intoxicated state.

Veterinarians put Nesha on a rehabilitation program that involved low doses of pain medication administered three times per day to ease her withdrawal off the heroin, and she was given a wheelchair to help her walk since the muscles in her legs had wasted.

What a sad state of affairs, both for the people and the poor dogs.

 Yeah, and things won't be getting better for man or beast anytime soon in that country.

Even in a drug addled state, why would you want to inflict that on an innocent animal? You may as well do it to a baby.

 Why do homeless addicts scream at a brick wall?

People that shit in the street don't care about dogs.  Now take these people out of LA and put them in a third world country and they may eat those dogs..

I am sure many people in the world do.

We are the Alpha and Omega of species.

But progress throughout history is so incredibly slow and has been even since the Enlightenment.

Religion is still the basis of life for most humans on this planet.

I was born in the wrong era - I wish it was a few millennia from now when people around the world were free of organised 'Faith'.

 You think religion causes addiction, animal abuse or both?

“Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

What would you call going into a building every week (or day) to worship an invisible man in the sky?

Sounds like addiction to me.

OK, one could call that an addiction I guess. Same as following sports. 

 

Generally addictions suggest a serious problem, not simply engaging in an activity though. Most people who drink, are not addicted just because they use the product. 

 

Addiction usually results in people who can't work, support themselves or function in society. 

 

In any event, I don't think animal or drug abuse is tied to religion.
