One example of Westerners helping to stop the utter cruelty of Islamist culture

"Wylie had become a symbol of Kandahar"

by Eric Dondero

Disgusting. Revolting. What the Islamist culture does to our canine companions is directly anti-thetical to American culture and values, and everything that we stand for here in Western society.

And Ron Paulists, paleos, the antiwar wing of the libertarian movement, and other weak of foreign policy advocates could care less. Their non-interventionist policies have no regard for human rights, let alone protecting man's best friend against the ravages of Islamic culture.

Conservative radio talk show host and diehard dog lover Marc Levin read this story in full on air this week. It is the story of a remarkable dog named "Wylie," who was brutalized by Islamists in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan. The repeatedly hit him with wooden boards to get him to fight against another dog.

Excerpted from TheAustralian.com (photo credit), "Wylie the Afghan mutt shows how every dog will have its day" Aug. 15:

IN Afghanistan's 10-year war, where acts of cruelty are commonplace and so many thousands have died, the account of one dog's extraordinary survival is an oddly affecting tale.

In her 10-month tour, the 37-year-old [Australian Federal Police officer Narelle Jensz] has treated countless dogs and successfully adopted 15 Afghan strays out to returned coalition soldiers across the world, many of whom have testified to the rehumanising impact of their animal companions...

But Wylie's injuries were so bad Jensz judged him unlikely to last the night.

Two weeks later Jensz received another call. Local dog fighters had cut off Wylie's ears and had scalped him in the process, before using the same homemade knife to cut his muzzle wide open from his nose to under his eye. He was patched up again by Jensz and a team of Australian Defence Force doctors only to return from his perilous forays outside the base with new injuries -- a stab wound to the chest and a savagely docked tail.

Then, horrifically, one day he limped back to the camp after Kandahar locals -- many of whom despise dogs only marginally less than they do coalition soldiers -- had tried to sever his penis.

Three times Jensz and ADF doctors had to restitch the wound.

"Once we stitched for 90 minutes without anaesthetic," she said. "I can't fathom how much pain he must have been in but he just lay there motionless, looking up at us. He didn't bite or growl once."

Wylie has recovered, and is heading to Australia for a hoped for long life on a dog protection farm, thanks to these advocates of Western cultural values from Australia, and the helpful Troops from the United States.

I read the story of Wylie at a California Starbucks preparing LR for the morning. As a dog owner, (Keesha) I was literally brought to tears. If you are a reader of Libertarian Republican I impore you to send this link to any friends or political associates you know in the non-interventionist/Ron Paul camp and ask them straight out - what the fuck?
