Lion under the Chair !

Man finds lion under his chair. A Qatari man was shocked to find a lion cub under his chair in a tent inside his house at Al Aziziya,local daily Al-Arab has reported.
He immediately contacted the police who rushed to the house and “handled the situation”, the daily said. The lion cub apparently belonged to a neighbour, according
to the report. The lion’s presence was discovered when the man sat on the chair after returning home from work and “realised that something was wrong”, said the
report.

Can we really keep lions and tigers as pets in our homes here ?
What will happen if that cubs mother runs away from the cage on the street ? :(
Rizks and Brit ,, You ninnies
Fluffy don't listen to them ,, Simply
Just Run run run
And if the lion caught you lie and tell him "I have HIV",, He will get scared and run.
brit ,, You dreamer
Don't watch movies ,, it destroyed you :O(
Fluffy Just put the word Tiger instead of Lion
Go and have a strong Karak Chai with a mix of Red Bull.
Our dear Fluffy is worried about Tigers, NOT Lions - Everyone knows that all you need to control a Lion is a chair and a whip!
and the tiger like a sissy will turn his back at you and run away ? :( wat a silly idea britey ! :(
How about when you see a tiger, just roar at the Tiger back with your claws wide open and the tiger will smile at you and go away ? :)
Get yourself a loud whistle. If you see a tiger than just blow hard and shout "Tiger, Tiger"
And I thought it was bad enough finding rats under our chairs in the villa we used to occupy! I recall some years back it was clearly published that owning wild animals was against the law here, so I hope the guilty neighbor was duly penalized. Personally I find the whole account quite hair raising!
Im scared now. I live in Azizya. I hope i don't find a tiger when I go outside to chill
most are smuggled from yemen and before that east africa
Are these animals caged or roaming free ?
But my friends BF who has a farmhouse.. I don't know the address and I am not even interested to see the wild animals in captivity and especially when i know they would be killed sooner or later..
ROFL.....
I think Kareena is mistaken.
Thelonius and I went to the farmhouse and did not see any wild animals..
Thelonius, i dont need it now buddy !
When i get flu, will surely use the drugs...:)
I would love to visit his farmhouse, if Kareena gives me the address ? :)
and britey wat connections are we talking abt here ?
Internet connections or Wireless connections ? :(
If you have connections, you can do anything - even bring in animals by air..
Rizks: Perhaps this guy has a Hyena which could be adopted by you. Why not visit his farmhouse
Besides, the wild animals in captivity ( as in pets )you see here, are mostly drugged so they stay calm.
oh dear...:(
No Rizks, most of them die.
i wonder how much time,days it had to travel to reach this place ?
I think till the time these animal babies reach here, they already attain their puberty ? ...:)
All the way from Mid or Southern Africa to north to Egypt then over to Saudi and then to Qatar..
as i mentioned above 'obviously not by Air' whether its frm Africa or Honolulu....:)
Chances is by crossing through the border in their CArs ?
I wonder how they bring them in..
how do they bring these cubs ?
Obviously not by AIR, i think so frm Dxb or Saud through the border in their cars ?
They send them to UK together with K74.
tatz even more SURPRISING ! :(
As soon as they grow up, attain puberty and start getting agressive, they just shoot them or give them a lethal injection..
Really Kareena, tats so surprising !
Wat they will do if tat cubs grow up ? Give it to the zoo ?
Or wait until it doesnt kill anyone and later handover it to zoo ? :(
Has a boyfriend who owns a farmhouse.. She has been there few times and she saw with her very own eyes.. Hold your breath... Lion cubs, Tiger cubs, Cheeta cubs, leopard cubs and a few other wild animals babies.. To say she was shocked would be an understatement. Yeah allt his happened in Qatar, he has a farmhouse somewhere up shamaal
Animals must be let free as humans are in their natural habitat. Its when we bond them, the problems start. By the way, answering to painther, painther what you saw in cornice might be a cat. Not a tiger or panther.:-)
Yesterday i was sitting on my portable chair at Bida Park and watching the sun set, suddenly i saw something under my chair. To my surprise it was a RC car...:(
Those kids were trying to scare me with their RC cars...GRRRRR !
yeah lots of people have wild animals here , remember ur in the middle everything can get smuggled here XD
ppl have hyenas , wolves ,tigers, cheetahs and lions here its not that odd
a couple of incidents have happened in the past by the way its definitely not the first one nor the last....
Nothing will happen,,,, its just that many will be screwed and many have to wash their clothes :P :P :P
If i get Hyna, the next thing i will keep as pet is Vultures....:)
Nasty. But as it is in life, what comes around, goes around.
I am less worried about a local keeping a Lion and more about Rizks and his Hyena ..
Is there an animal protection society in qatar?
If you knew what chickens eat, then you would not eat chicken - Tikka or Masala.. :O(
Fishes eat chickens ,, after what brit said there is nothing impossible :/
So the chickens we eat, eats about anything fed to them ? :(
How about the fishes then ?
brit ,, u mean they can eat lungis? :/
Mods ban Rizks, he is wasting my time translating with no results :O(
Specifically, Chickens will eat just about anything.. Including Masala Crab or paprika papadoms.
be specific, is it chicken or Pigs ? :(
Chickens , like pigs will eat just about anything.. Including Masala Crab or paprika papadoms.
Chickens dont eat Mutton Roast or Masala Crab ? :(
Sulie, go ahead - use tat google translation !
I dont speak no lie....:)
Only last week a zoo keeper was mauled and killed by a Lion... :O(
By the way , chickens will eat anything ..
Rizks ,, Lols
I like what you wrote in English , but i am not sure it is the right translation :O)
Wake up Sonia. the cubs are stolen from their mothers and sold illegally in the animal trade market...the mother is probably somewhere in Africa still.
No it isnt !
There is a saying in hindi:-
Kutte ki dum ager hazaar saal nalli me daal ke rakho aur nikalo to wahi teedi ki teedi rahti hai...:)
English: Falcons and Lions are two different speicies with different diets....:)
Anybody remember that story of that Falcon who grows up with chickens ,,
He forgot how to fly and he was vegetarian
Is that the same for lions ?
i cant recall any such things...:(
Go away.
But I recall you telling me that she was a beautiful and "wild animal"
sure soniya, jus pm me ur buzzer number ! :)
Rizk, don't forget to buzz me when you see cubs anywhere...:)))
Nope.
Shes a domestic animal.
Can we consider Bella a wild animal ?
Even i wont miss to hold tat cub in my arms and give a bear hug too ! :)
Lol rizk...
I didn't say anywhere that one should tame such wild animals at home...They are meant to be either in the zoo or in the forest...But yes, if i do get the chance to see or play with the cubs, i won't miss the chance....:D
Lols Soniya, your kid can play with it for a year or two after that wat u gonna do with tat grown cub ?
Throw in the street for tat cub to find a prey ? :)
"What will happen if that cubs mother runs away from the cage on the street?"....ROFL.
Heard this kind of news even in the past...It is really scary..But cubs are cute and harmless...One can play with them...:))) I wish if i could see any such CUBS in the street, i will make my kid to play...:D
I know dozens of locals who have pigeons, cats, horses, hunting flacons and dogs but never the big “Wild animals”.. And no, it’s not common in this part of the world...
Tats sad Kareena...:(
Didnt they know, tat these are wild cats and can bite anyone and at anytime before keeping them as pets ? :(
I know so many locals who have wild animals as pets.. It is common this part of the world..
In fact someone told me about a guy whose pet cheetah or something bit his hand and then he shot him.
It is funny when people think of "wild" their imagination automated think of lions, tigers, bear, wolves etc thing is just because an animal like a tiger is more dangerous than a dog, bird or a cat does not make it more/less illegal/wrong of an animal to be confined in a cage than the latter.
coz more then public, police knows the locations/ directions of these malls....:)
Police is purely 'law enforcement' and nothing else. They are there to ensure that the laws are followed by all....but in this case how would they teach the law to the animal? or are they even trained to capture and restrain an animal without causing harm? I don't know why people call the police for everything outside the law??? I have heard of so many people calling the police to ask for directions coz they couldn't find landmark mall.
then the question is where was the cubs mother ? :(
For goodness sake.. It was a cub.. Not a full grown lion ..
What was the Lion looking for?
Ans : Hot-dog.
Marco the hype is an adult Tiger can kill you in a couple of seconds!
They maybe living in peoples homes but they are not domesticated!
Just in the same way as if you get a wolf and keep it as a pet it is not the same as having a dog!
Such animals are ILLEGAL in Qatar but this is just another example of how the laws don't apply to some people!
Rizks ,, that new bald copied brit's comment ,, LOls :O)
antonyaaron, how about i throw a lion on you too ? :(
You silly poppadum juice extractor...
I want a real one not a fake one.
To be honest I fail to understand what all this hype is for?
Fact of the matter is that, wild animals domesticated as indoor-outdoor pets are no longer wild.
You ninny..
The easiest way is to go to Qaws. Adopt a scrawny dog and trim its hair to looklike a hyena..
Rizks ,, here he is :O)
Am not lying ,,Lols
you are looking great.. Go ahead and send us pics of the two of you.
http://howtoreducehairfall.in/
No its not me...now get lost ! :)
Rizks ,, Sorry for the Hijack but i just met a new member in other thread and he has this link in his signature line
http://howtoreducehairfall.in/
Is that you with a fake ID. :)
have been to Souq Waqif to buy one, couldnt find...:(
No one is stopping you from keeping a Hyena. Go ahead and send us pics of the two of you..
Can we really keep lions and tigers as pets in our homes here ?
For you it could be dangerous, foxes and tigers are not a good friends ,, as brit remembered us about mogli,,,
Mogli fox brothers, they didn't like sharikan the one eyed tiger. :O(
What will happen if that cubs mother runs away from the cage on the street ? :(
She will die from heat and will go back home
So tat means only they are allowed to keep these big cats as pet not we expatriates ? :(
I want to keep a Hyna as a pet....:)
Was at the Al Samariya Stables on Friday afternoon for the open day. Sheikh Faisal Al Thani was walking around with his pet Cheetah, which the visitors where allowed to pet, including me :)
It is becoming a normal practice in Qatar that the wealthy Qatris are keeping these big cats as pets.
Sulie a usual typical nonsensicle response from you...:)
I wish i can throw a hungry and horny male Lion on your face....:)
scaryyy...
I think the picture is a female tiger... the ways she looks on men...
You are so right..
Remember when Mogli goes into the Jungle and disturbs Bagheera who is snoozing on a tree limb ?
times it's humans who have treaded the animals' habitats.
oh dear, lion and now panther !
Wat Next ?
a Giraffee or an Elephant peeping out from the rear window ? :(
one day i saw a tiger (or a panther..cant say..not expert on 'em) peeping out from a car window in cornice.
Well, it seems we can.
I think these type of animals should stay on their natural habitats.
