Police ban selling cats, dogs, or walking them because men use them to approach women.
"The reason behind reinforcing the edict now was a rising fashion (I think they mean trend!!) among some men using pets in public "to make passes on women and disturb families," he said..
wow, talk about educated........ This one tops the charts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm now in Jeddah KSA and near my house here there is a shop which sells pets before 3 hours it's still open and nothing wrong with them.
they have a kitty costs 30k SR :O)
Why people in KSA dont hear these things :s
I posted this just last week as I thought, like you, it was just over the top!!!
Great minds think alike eh?? :)
Last month KSA goverment passed sentence of death to a Turkish barber due to cursing to God .
oh lordy me.... what ever next..
imagine you meet someone who is not your cousin
you fall in love
you get married
and you have healthy babies
gosh awful scenario.....true love and healthy sprogs
Governments make rules for the welfare of citizens. In KSA being highly conservative country, they would make sure to do anything to protect ladies or families. Lets not be wicked by using the word 'educated' in this matter. Different countries / places have different cultures & norms to adhere to & to ppl to whom these things are new could give them cultural shock which is absolutely normal & whether to accept them or not is an individual's choice but making fun or passing ironical / degrading remarks shows one's mentality.
No offence meant though
