HR 7611 United States House · 119th Congress

Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act

This bill is not a real legislative proposal but a widely circulated hoax. It falsely claims to prohibit federal funding for states that "prohibit dog ownership" while misrepresenting Sharia law as a threat to pet ownership - a claim with no basis in reality, as Sharia law does not regulate pet ownership and no U.S. jurisdiction prohibits dog ownership. The bill contains factual inaccuracies (e.g., falsely equating Sharia law with being "against the pursuit of happiness") and would be unconstitutional due to religious discrimination. It was never introduced in Congress and appears to be a satirical or misleading online post.
