Introduction
The UAE is seen by many as being a land of wealth and glamour.
People visit from around the world to take in the sites and
experience the luxury, and it is not only those who visit who see
these things. Residents can obtain many luxuries including some
seen in few other places around the world in general.
There are times where images pop up in which a resident of the
UAE is seen with a pet that most would consider highly unusual,
rare and dangerous. These include lions, tigers and many more.
However, these cases are rare, and the government is aware of
the potential issues that may come with such pets. There are
stringent regulations in place concerning the subject, such as the
2016 ban on owning them, though the problem is a broad one. More
than just the safety of the owners and the public requires
consideration. It is also of importance to consider the protection
of the exotic wildlife itself, which is often brought up during
their transportation.
