I'm actually surprised as to why QAWS is still not a recognized charity?? Are we to assume that Qatar cant "afford" to care for these animals? How much would it cost to give a small plot of land to house these creatures?

Agreed that the public needs to know what happens to the money they give, perhaps a monthly statement from QAWS giving details would be appropriate to satisfy those concerned with the financial side of things. Something like a newsletter posted on the site or something?
