An animal protection charity claims they found dozens of dead cats in the desert amid reports of pets being dumped. An investigation has been launched, but authorities do not know who is behind the incidents or why.
Authorities in Abu Dhabi are investigating reports of cats being abandoned in the desert, with dozens said to have died.
Described by the International Organisation for Animal Protection as"unimaginable and unacceptable suffering", the Department of Municipalities and Transport is now investigating. The department added"all necessary measures" are being taken to identify any individuals and just how the incidents have come about, which"contradicts civilised morals and values"."DMT has also underscored that it values the sentiments of the public and communities and recognises the contributions of volunteers in responding to this incident."Images shared on social media appear to show cats lying still in the sand, with dozens found, according to OIPA.
