Have you visited the animal section in Souq Waqif, Qatar?

These shops in Souq Waqif are known for selling animals – including dyed animals – that are housed in cages and fed deficient diet.

Some residents and tourists in Qatar have decided to create a petition to improve the conditions of animals (potential pets) in these stores.

The petition can be found on this link:  Petition for Animal Rights

Are you going to sign this petition?

Some societies take care of animals better than the humans. They keep humans as slaves to take care of the animals. This is high society reflects the morality of that nation. They dont have hearts to humans but have hearts to pet dogs and cats as fashionable in the society. How ugly is this society and this world

Compassion is not a finite resource, it grows and multiples the more you practice it. Compassion should be given to anyone who needs it. It does not matter if animals can speak or think. What matters is: they can suffer, and we should not make them suffer.

You can judge the morality of a nation by the way the society treats its animals.
