Islam don't support pets. Why

Just quoating someone else here " How do we know that Muslims are not forbidden to be around dogs? We look at God's word, at the Quran. In the story of the men of the cave in Sura 18, it becomes clear that God sees dogs as part of men's lives. 18:18 "You would think that they were awake, when they were in fact asleep. We turned them to the right side and the left side, while their dog stretched his arms in their midst." Hadith tells us that angels won't enter a room where there is a dog. That means that for 309 years that the sleepers were in the cave, no angel ever entered. Yet God says "We turned them...." The use of "we" clearly indicates the participation of angels. There is absolutely no reason to mention the dog as part of this story, except to make it clear to future generation that dogs are permitted to live among people, right "in their midst." And 18:22 clearly shows that the dog was counted right along with the believers. "Some would say, they were three; their dog being the fourth, while others would say, Five; the sixth being their dog, as they guessed. Others said, seven, and the eighth was their dog. Say, My Lord is the best knower of their number. Therefore, do not argue with them; just go along with them. You need not consult anyone about this." I think it's very interesting that dogs and pigs aren't supported as pets or to be kept. Here's something else "It is forbidden (haraam) to keep a dog unless it is for the purposes for which Islam permits keeping dogs. Whoever keeps a dog except a dog for hunting or farming, his reward will decrease each day by one or two qeeraats. The word qeeraat refers to a large amount of reward; if a person’s reward decreases by one qeeraat, that means that he is sinning, for losing reward is like earning sin, both indicate that something is haraam because of the consequences it leads to. The impurity of dogs is the greatest of animal impurities. The impurity of a dog can only be removed by washing seven times, one of which should be with earth. Even pigs, which the Qur’aan states are haraam and describes as an abomination are not impure to such an extent." You might find http://www.submission.org/pets/dogs2.html an interesting read. I'd love to hear some views from Muslims as well!

yes its trur that a muslim cant keep a dog or a pig as a pet, and i wounder who would keep a pig as a pet anyway.. muslims are not supposed to eat pig meat either...

well.....Islam is not against pets my dear.....who has created this misconception in u my friend........cats,pigeons,cocks,roosters,lions,fishes,ducks,lambs,deers n many more animals were most liked my the Prophet of God....but yes dogs n pigs r supposed to b haram (forbidden) due to the hygenic reasons.....but if u want to keep a dog for the safety reasons then it's allowed....coz dogs have cancer germs in their saliva according to the medical perspectives...
