Unwanted pet crisis in UAE

[Catherine]

It sounds like the various shelters are overwhelmed.
I wonder why this year is so bad.

If I understand it correctly some pet owners were never permanently in the country, but made no plans for the pet that they chose to get while they were there.
I wonder what the spay/neuter situation is like.
I wonder if the animals could be moved to countries that have room for them.
