I worked at an animal shelter there and the amount of abandoned dogs was ridiculous as what often happens is once they aren't cute anymore they get kicked out of the house. I saw two full grown tortoises about 5 ft each stuck in a box where they couldn't move and where lying in their own feces. There was a monkey in a cage where he could only turn around in standing in the midday heat of around 45C.
    I could go on but it just brings back memories. I love the Middle East it is a fantastic place but sadly animals are either treated exceptionally well or like poop.
    True man.
    In Mexico too, the rural areas.

    I sometimes wonder how dogs and whatnot manage to survive there.

    No shots, no food, no shelter, no baths, no such thing as trimming their nails, or brushing your teeth, letting them sleep with you. People hang,shoot,kill dogs and cats over there when they find them to be a "nuisance".

    I sometimes get mad in the back of my head when people talk down on people who do one little tiny thing wrong in the care of their pets. When there is countless animals in other places who are 100x worst....

    Hell, there's countless PEOPLE... children who have it worse then some of our pets.
