Gonzales Greyhound "Come and Take It" Tee

Some segments of the population have proposed banning dogs as pets.  Ain't gonna happen.

TL; DR: The Battle of Gonzales was the first military engagement of the Texas Revolution.  In 1831, Green DeWitt asked the Mexican authorities to lend the Gonzales colonists a cannon to help protect them from frequent Comanche raids. One was supplied, on the condition that the cannon would be returned to the Mexicans on request. 

When the initial request was refused, Mexico sent 100 dragoons to retrieve the cannon. 140 Texians gathered in Gonzales, all determined not to give up the cannon.  As a symbol of defiance, Caroline Zumwalt and Eveline DeWitt, a young woman from Gonzales, made a flag with the phrase "come and take it."  Mexican soldiers opened fire as Texians approached their camp in the early hours of October 2. After several hours of desultory firing, the Mexican soldiers withdrew.

A Palestinian activist has called for dogs to be banned as pets in New York City claiming they aren't Islamic.  Nerdeen Kiswani said dogs have a 'place in society' but 'not as indoor pets.'  'Like we've said all along, they are unclean,' she wrote on X.  According to Islamic jurisprudence, dogs are considered "najis" or impure.  The Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) discourages unnecessary interaction with dogs, indicating that angels do not enter a house with a dog.

We vehemently disagree with this assessment of "Man's Best Friend."  Dogs are the perfect compliment to humans, and enrich our lives.  They are not negotiable.  Like the Texians of 1831, we say to the dog grabbers: "Come and Take It."  Good luck with that.
