Pen Farthing latest news – Dog rescue mission ‘will inspire TERROR as extremists say UK puts Afghans lower than animals’

PEN Farthing’s rescued dogs are adjusting to life in quarantine after jetting into Heathrow from Afghanistan over the weekend.

But the rescue mission itself has been heavily criticised for making it appear the West was prioritises evacuating dogs over saving Afghan people.

Pen Farthing himself has argued the animals travelled in the hold of a plane where humans can’t travel, therefore meaning the dogs and cats he saved were not taking the place of people on board.

But while he refused to leave Afghanistan until he knew his dogs would be with him, Farthing did leave 68 members of his mostly female Afghan staff behind at the airport when their paperwork wasn’t approved.

Such a move will be exploited by Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS extremists around the world, one Guardian columnist , as they will use it to further their propaganda that the West considers Muslims lives cheap.
