Animal Cruelty in the Bird Souq at Souq Waqif
Baby Ostriches can't even stand up straight as the ceiling was too low. Very small cage![img alt="" src="http://www.lifeonthespot.com/wp-content/flagallery/bird-souq/thumbs/thumbs_img_4366.jpg"]Colored Chicks
Chicks are dyed with different colors to attract kids to ask their parents to buy them.[img alt="" src="http://www.lifeonthespot.com/wp-content/flagallery/bird-souq/thumbs/thumbs_img_4369.jpg"]A Dead Rabbit
Saw this dead rabbit in a bin in front of one of the stalls. How many die each day/week?[img alt="" src="http://www.lifeonthespot.com/wp-content/flagallery/bird-souq/thumbs/thumbs_img_4377.jpg"]Peacocks
Peacocks placed in a very small cage.[img alt="" src="http://www.lifeonthespot.com/wp-content/flagallery/bird-souq/thumbs/thumbs_img_4378.jpg"]A Tortoise
I'm not sure if anybody would be interested in keeping a tortoise and if it is an endangered specie, but it is being sold at the Bird Souq[img alt="" src="http://www.lifeonthespot.com/wp-content/flagallery/bird-souq/thumbs/thumbs_img_4379.jpg"]Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits
Lots and lots of rabbits packed in a cage. In one cage, they were too packed that they were on top of each other!
Qatar Academy’s Quackfest 2010 was well attended at the Senior School grounds. We enjoyed the Camels and the quick walkthrough/sitdown with the Helicopter. There were several games that Mavis and Xiane joined for 2 tickets each game. Tickets cost 2 rials each but didn’t matter as the proceeds would benefit the Qatar Animal Welfare Society (QAWS) and would continue to support the Bayat Klaten School, Indonesia.
