A bit random, but...

Out here in Dubai, people have pretty much zero respect for other people, never mind animals. We "rescued" a little pug from a 2ft square cage at the back of a farm. No clean water, and no shade from the blistering heat. He's now doing very well and is spolit rotten.
Thing is, a girl at work, her brother has a cheetah. Another guy's mate has 2 tigers, and had white lion for a while, before the Government decided they weren't allowed.
There is a guy up the road from us who has a Giraffe in his garden.
The Mrs has seen baboon's and crocodiles in people's gardens, all kept as pets...and kept badly at best. It sickens me.

Oh, and I have a cricket stuck in my air-con unit. He goes mental only at night and the noise is driving me senile. Changing rooms doesn't help, neither do ear plugs, a broom stick or insect killer. He's won...I give in.

I worked a rotation (Gas wells),out of Dubai for 4 years, out in the Desert (Sharjah), we would often see exotic birds that had escaped from averies (sp), but never any real 'wild'life.

A shame that people care so little about animals. Perhaps we should invade and kill the locals and steal all the oil. After all, Blair did it for Iraq.............

Sounds good to me, they don't deserve it as they have no appreciation of money whatsoever.
Send them back to living in tents, we'd probably all be a lot happier, including them!

Am I right in thinking that they don't believe in euthanasia either.
