Hunt Begins For Pet Wild Animals
‘Safety Of People Vital’
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 26: The Interior Ministry
in cooperation with the Public Authority for Agricultural Affairs and Fish
Resources (PAAAFR) is said to be looking for ‘pet’ wild animals which put at
risk the lives of citizens and residents, reports Al- Anba daily. The
authorities have called on residents and citizens to notify them if they are
aware of any wild animals in their vicinity. The daily added, the authorities
plan to confiscate wild (pet) animals and punish their keepers.
This is done in the best interests and
safety of the people. The sources added the Kuwaiti Penal Code punishes those
who neglect animals and the civil law punishes the owner by forcing him to
compensate the victim if attacked by the wild animal.
The source pointed the concerned authorities
have received several complaints accusing people of breeding wild animals such
as tigers, lions and crocodiles. Meanwhile, a Kuwaiti man shot dead a crocodile
with a bullet to his head after the reptile crept into his house recently in
Salwa, reports Al-Rai daily.
According to reports the man was at work
and his maid called him to say she could not enter the house because a big
lizard was in the doorway. The man rushed home and found the ‘pet’ crocodile
which had reportedly escaped from its keep from a neighboring house.

So here's what I want to know: What are they intending to do with the animals? Maybe give them to some snipers like what they allowed to happen with the stray dogs in Kuwait? I can see this being very bad.
If I were the (STUPID) owner of a wild/exotic/endangered animal and LOVED it in Kuwait, right about now, I would be thinking of ways to ship it out of the country to a game reserve somewhere. Idiots.
