I have to admit that anything that reverses the ban on hunting with dogs has my vote. It is an utterly stupid law, as our great and good will discover once they are overrun with foxes.

Very few Muslims in this country seem to keep dogs, but the Afghan hound was bred in a Muslim country specifically for hunting (deer, mostly). There are lots of dogs around in Egypt, which is Muslim, so someone must keep them. Rabies is a dreadful disease, but if dogs are properly kept, then there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
