Just wait until you hear about what they do to the women.

The animals were abandoned across the highway from the government-run Abu Dhabi Animal Shelter in al Falah, a residential area in Abu Dhabi. The shelter told CNN it was unaware of the incident and refused to comment further.

Uh huh. What a mystery.

Sadly, dumping cats and dogs in bum fuck nowhere is a thing that happens more in the Middle East than other parts of the planet.

My pup was a dog that someone dumped in Qatar. Someone was racing her, she had elbow dysplasia, so they just left her in an abandoned fishing village to die.

This just in: country contemptuous of human rights doesn’t care about animal rights either

Bloody savages

Why the cats were returned to the original owners if the shelter disposed of them like it was trash? Maybe even worse than trash, as you just don’t throw the trash in the desert but you accurately deposit it in special land area

Garfield has been mailing kittens again.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A group of United Arab Emirates residents has found more than 140 cats dumped in a desert lot in the capital Abu Dhabi, in a phenomenon that has drawn criticism from international animal rights organizations and prompted a government investigation.

Cats of all breeds, including non-native varieties like Persians, were left to die trapped in their carriers or have been wandering the desert without food, shelter or water, according to Chiku Shergill, an Abu Dhabi resident who took part in the rescue.

The animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is offering a $5,000 reward for information on “whoever dumped these cats in the desert,” PETA Asia Vice-President Jason Baker told CNN in a statement.

“This act of cruelty must not be swept under the rug … The solution to the homeless-animal crisis is spaying and neutering and adopting from overworked and understaffed shelters, which PETA Asia has been asking the UAE to require for years,” Baker said.

Dr. Katherine Polak, Humane Society International vice president of companion animals told CNN she was pleased to see the authorities taking the matter seriously.

Ten pet cats from Dubai, an hour’s drive from Abu Dhabi, were identified by microchips and returned to their homes.

Jesus, in the heat too. Poor creatures :(

Garbage humans doing garbage things. Surprise surprise.

8 billion chickens were killed in the US last year. 10 million pigs as well.

I can’t get worked up over a hundred cats. I guess it would have been not news if they were killed more quickly, like the shelters do?
