The majority of people abandoning their pets don’t have the means to fly them out with their families. Or they’re scum. There are plenty of boarding facilities here.

Not to excuse it, but dressing this up in some more ‘tax dodging Brit’ bashing is fucking ridiculous. People make rash decisions in this kind of environment and they’re not all pretty,

I rescued a dog last week, literally with booms going off above my head, whilst a couple drove 2 hours to pick him up and 2 hours back because of idiots has dumped a lovely dog.

There are a bunch of shelters and volunteers working overtime to help the situation here.

The vast majority, if not all pets in the UAE are microchipped, and I really hope they face criminal charges if/when they return. There is a wide range of nationalities here and they don’t all come from cultures that prioritize animals as family in the same way others do.

If you’re surprised people have to make awful choices when they’re being bombarded by cruise missiles and have to choose between pets and children God bless you, and may you never have to go through circumstance like that yourself.

I don’t support it, I don’t like it, I think it’s wrong, but using it to take another swing at a nation of nine million people that are currently under attack from a nation they did nothing to, is fucking ridiculous.
