| Clerics rule besieged Syrians may eat dogs, cats & donkeys |
| 2013-10-16 |
| A group of Syrian clerics have issued a ruling - or fatwa - allowing people living in besieged suburbs of Damascus to eat meat that is normally forbidden. In a video, the Muslim clerics said people could eat cats, dogs and donkeys to stave off hunger. The fatwa comes amid reports of starvation in the besieged, rebel-held Damascus suburb of Muadhamiya. In a message to coincide with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha - normally a time for celebration and feasting - the religious leaders authorised those left in the Ghouta agricultural belt around Damascus to eat animals usually considered unfit for human consumption in Islam. |

| #1 "people could eat cats, dogs and donkeys" Is 'cats, dogs and donkeys' the Syrian euphemism for 'long pork'? |
