Keep your eyes posted to the current QAWS website - we will be launching our new updated and overhauled website soon:-)

QAWS has been in operation for 6 years. There have been times that it has had to close due to lack of funding, but it always resurrects.
With our charity status there would be so much we more we could do for the animals, and the recent articles in the GT and also the new laws pasted in UAE, go a long way in helping us achieve our goals in making Qatar a transparent animal protecting society - it been a long road, there are still many miles to go, but the destination looms before us:-)

Hopefully Qatar will soon realise that they need to take steps to help protect animals here. Fines for cruelty would be a great start, as would issuing charity status to QAWS.
Let's hope this news story and the recent article on QAWS in the Gulf Times helps to push things forward; http://www.qatarliving.com/news/160745/over-crowding-crisis-at-qatar-animal-shelter
just curious to what you think QAWS is, if not an SPCA?
Actually, the gentleman has met with us, and he has realised that joining us rather than opening another shelter will be better in the long run, since we are an established orgnisation, sans charity status,yes, but that is looming in the future:-)
Yes, DQ, it is important that we all highlight the plight of animals in this country, so that Qatar will be seen as moving toward a better future with regards to animal rights.

You are right.....I didn`t see it was mentioned before...and I don`t click the research ...and besides that I DO THINK we have to draw attention to this as I believe we owe it to the people who do care about animals and there well being......
The more people are aware of this the better world we can create for these animals.....
its okay. because not all member are responses to the earlier topics. did you see the above replies, meaning others did'nt see the earlier thread maybe because they are too busy and etc and take this opportunity to answer right. hope you get my point fatcat.
fritz_pinoy, she was just pointing out that is has been discussed before, she wasn't lecturing the guy. We don't want repeated topics all the time, do we? :)
What is the problem? are you a MOD? you are always like used the search botton or we discuss this already? Give others a break. maybe they are not online at that time, thats why. Hope you understand that everybody is not 24/7 on QL
I agree that Qatar should adopt animal cruelty law enforcement. The attributes of a progressive, developed society and nation can be judged by how their animals are treated.
Unquestionably, if a human were left to drown, or tied to a tree to die, or left in a box on a busy road or tied to a vehicle and dragged along the road at speed – necessary justice should be served by the perpetrator and laws are in place to deal with such crimes.
This happens to animals on an all too frequent basis. Why should the perpetrators not serve recompense for such actions?
Animals may be voiceless creatures, unable to defend themselves from such cruelty; surely it should be the duty of a more advanced species (human beings / society) to defend and protect their basic rights to co-exist without being subjected to such thoughtless, cruel and unjust actions?

As I said to DQ earlier, the new website looks good and is a big improvement. And Camy looks great on the front page :-)

This is really good news. But the fine is too less. And I agree with Xena that they should start by giving the charity status to QAWS first.

You know, there is a guy trying to set up an SPCA type of thing here. I really hope he can do it soon.
Well to support a law that would inforce this in Qatar wouldn`t harm anyone....now would it?
