There are several vets, pet shops & even a place in Souq Waqif that offers breeding. Some vets tell people that their pet HAS to be bred or they will get depressed. When a female cat is in season, they howl non-stop for a couple of weeks, and instead of telling the owner to neuter their animal, they say you have to mate her to get her to stop.

Unfortunately no matter how many times we tell people why not to breed their animal - they just don't care. They're not interested in what will happen to the puppies after they have given them as gifts to friends, they're not bothered about the responsibility involved seeing as they'll have a house boy to clean up after them, they don't care about the cost because they'll never have them vaccinated anyway and when we suggest neutering we get the whole "it's haram" story.

We're trying to get the whole website translated into arabic (well at least the policies/proceedures etc) so it's something we can have added in.

I don't know where the thread was and I wish QL would leave them up. Now I have to re-type it all to the next person who asks about breeding.
