Op-ed - comment on the latest Middle East news: Quick note because I have had a long day! LBC radio told me today that there is an exodus of British (?) expats and other residents in Dubai who are leaving the country due to the Iran war and in the process abandoning their cats and dogs or worse: tying up a cat to a lamp post so tightly a nasty injury was caused or in one case a pair of dogs were shot dead in the desert. The rescue centres are overflowing and are at a loss as to what to do.
This is a terrible form of animal abuse. To think of it is hard to bear. I understand the panic as drones are falling on Dubai as Iran retaliates but there cannot be any kind of true relationship between these caregivers and their companion animals.
It is humans hitting a new low in animal welfare. It shows how humans behaviour when under pressure towards animals.
Here is another short video on this:
P.S. please forgive the occasional typo. These articles are written at breakneck speed using Dragon Dictate. I have to prepare them in around 20 mins. Also, sources for news articles are carefully selected but the news is often not independently verified. And, I rely on scientific studies but they are not 100% reliable. Finally, (!) I often express an OPINION on the news. Please share yours in a comment.
