"name and shame animals Executioners" the Saudi Shura Council
Riyadh People who torture and mutilate animals must be named and humiliated, in addition to other legal sanctions, the Council of the Saudi Shura announced. The Council noted that some people would not only torture animals, but filming their actions and download the clips on social media for others to watch. The committee chairman, Ali Al-Tikhais delivered reports. He said, naming the animal torturers would act as an effective deterrent. Tikhais said that if criminals are not punished severely and appointed peers might believe such actions are permitted by law.
The Shura Council has addressed the issue after several video clips showing animal cruelty went viral on the Internet. A video clip showing a running man on a dog several times with all four wheels until the animal died in the Al-Jouf earlier this year, has caused a sharp reaction among tweeters who called for the man and the person who filmed the incident be brought to justice.
tweeters described the act as "inhuman" and urged the authorities to take action. The incident took place in a desert area.
Another item posted on social media showed a driver dragging a dog that was attached to his vehicle moving fast on a street.
The tweeters have asked the Saudi Wildlife Authority (SWA), responsible for the conservation and development of wildlife, develop strong laws that would lead to severe penalties for anyone who torture animals. n
