As a result of the escalation of the conflict between the United States and Iran in Dubai began to leave their pets on the streets in large numbers. These are the first visible victims of the war, which is already affecting the lives of thousands of people.
Causes of mass animal dumping in Dubai
The conflict between the United States and Iran has caused economic instability in the region, which is also affecting the people of Dubai. Many families cannot afford to keep their pets, so they are forced to give them up.
According to The Guardian, The rising cost of food and housing, as well as uncertainty about the future, are forcing people to make tough decisions to survive.
Reaction of local organisations and authorities
Local animal welfare organisations are sounding the alarm over the increasing number of abandoned animals. They call on the authorities to tighten control and help animal owners in difficult circumstances.
The Dubai authorities promise to develop support programmes for families suffering from the consequences of the war and to increase responsibility for animal cruelty.
The impact of the conflict on the lives of local residents
The war between the United States and Iran is already having far-reaching consequences for the people of the region. In addition to economic problems, social tensions are rising, which is also affecting attitudes towards pets.
Experts emphasise that without proper support from the state, the situation may worsen, and the number of abandoned animals will increase even more.
