After an exhaustive but fruitless search for a new home, the Qatar Animal Welfare Society has announced that it will be closing its doors for good.

I am least surprised that no one came to their rescue. You cant belittle everyone who isnt associated with QAWS calling them Tom, Dick and Harry and not worthy of even sharing a talk even on a virtual platform like QL. Guess the high and mighty attitude of some people who ran it got them here.

However, I sincerely wish, just for the sake of the animals there that even now they could find someone to come to their rescue and these animals can have a shelter and care.
