Over the weekend someone was briefing the press that they'd get the alpaca treatment if they weren't in tip top health so staying in situ might have been better after all

Does it stem from keeping dogs as pets being haram and only working dogs allowed?

So, I'm aware of this Farthing guy, but haven't really seen anything on why it was so important that the dogs got out? I've seen no indication that the Taliban were planning to kill all the dogs, or that an animal charity was at any risk of being unable to continue to function.
When I was in Afghanistan, there were loads of dogs. Working dogs, rather than pets, but seemed to be better cared for than in many other countries I've been to. Didn't seem to be the most anti-canine of countries.
