I had once emailed them about the animal situation in Qatar, as I couldn't think of any other international animal rights group at the time, and got this response...thought might be helpful to share it...
"Thank you for contacting PETA. We recommend that you contact animal advocacy groups in Qatar. For them, the problem is local, and they will be your best source of information about local laws and other relevant matters. To find animal rights groups in a particular area, consult http://www.WorldAnimalNet.org, a Web site that offers an extensive listing of organizations categorized by country. We also recommend contacting the World Society for the Protection of Animals (http://www.wspa-international.org) and the Humane Society International (http://www.hsus.org/about_us/humane_society_international_hsi/index.html); both organizations are dedicated to fighting animal abuse internationally.
Ultimately, great courage and strength will be required to fight against the injustice and cruelties currently practiced in Qatar. It is vital that local activists enlist as many influential people, as well as “people on the street,” as they can to support their cause by writing to the papers, talking to the media, and encouraging those in power to help effect change.
