Saudi Arabia bans pets

Cat and Dog Owners in Saudi Arabia will have to resort to using
disguises on their pets to fool the religious police

Saudi Arabia's religious police have banned the selling cats and dogs as pets. The ban also extends to walking pets in public because of of a claim that men using their pets as a means of making passes at women.

6,000 religious police oversee the adherence to Wahabism which is a strict version of Sunni Islam. It also forces women to cover from head to toe when in public, bans women from driving. It is also Osama Bin Ladens chosen sect.


Othman al-Othman, head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in Riyadh, known as the Muttawa said the commission is enforcing an old religious edict.

The Muttawa said the commission was implementing a decision by the acting governor of the capital, Prince Sattam bin Abdul Aziz, and said it follows an old edict issued by the supreme council of Saudi scholars.

The reason behind reinforcing the edict was a rising novelty among some men using pets in public "to make passes on women and disturb families," said the Muttawa without giving more details. He said the commission has instructed its offices in the capital to tell pet shops "to stop selling cats and dogs".
