A group of armed men stormed a secure
facility in Qatar used to feed and shelter stray dogs, killing 29 of
them and injuring others over claims that one of them had bitten one of
the men's children.
According to the Independent, the
unidentified gunmen threatened security guards with weapons before
entering a secure factory area, where the stray dogs are looked by the
community. The assailants are then thought to have shot 29 dogs,
including puppies, leaving others badly injured.
Speaking to the Independent, a source
described the incident as "horrific" with people running for cover as
the group of men shot at the defenceless animals. The source added that
after the shootings, a number of animals have still not been found, and
locals fear they are hiding, possibly with terrible injuries.
The incident on 10 July was confirmed
on social media by the Doha-based rescue charity PAWS Rescue Qatar, who
mentioned that the group turned up on the first day of Eid.
"The security team tried to stop the
men from shooting a group of beautiful friendly neutered dogs, but they
realised that they were also putting themselves in danger also," the
organisation stated, adding that the animals posed no threat to anyone
and were well looked after. One puppy is fighting to survive under a
vet's care.
The charity also questioned why there
wasn't stricter gun controls in the Gulf state: "Why can civilians own
guns and be allowed to use them as they wish? Why are there no stricter
regulations?"
"If these monsters can kill so easily and threaten men what will they do next."
The announcement invoked an angry response by social media user who condemned the killings.
"This is barbaric," one user wrote. "I am genuinely shocked and heartbroken," wrote another.
"Very disappointed Qatar! The Gulf
region must start to evolve on such matters – this is inexcusable! Poor
babies," commented another.
In 2021, AFP reported that there has
been an uptick in animal abuse in Qatar, particularly among strays and
abandoned animals left behind by departing expatriates. The number of
strays in the country had seen a surge as coronavirus lockdown
restrictions were lifted.
Also last year, the government
started a new initiative called Rifq, or Kindness, where stray dogs are
captured, vaccinated, neutered and rehabilitated before then being put
up for adoption.
Despite a 2004 law criminalising
mistreatment of animals, law enforcement is said to be inconsistent.
One Qatari animal rescuer was quoted in a report by Doha News last year
as saying "There is a law against torturing animals, but it's just a
1,000 riyal fine, so it is not really a deterrent".
According to Qatari law, in order to
own a firearm, you must obtain a licence from the Ministry of Interior
(MOI), however you have to be over the age of 21 and not have a
criminal record. Even with a license, you aren't allowed to brandish
your gun in public.

The New York Times reports showed

the Qatar Charity Foundation. In addition, the system grants a
diplomatic passport for Al Hammadi to facilitate his suspicious
movements; and coordination for implementing Tamim’s extremist agendas.
Also,recently It provides with 71 million Euros to deliver it to the
Brotherhood leaders in Europe under a charitable cover.
The “New York Times” newspaper
monitored the facts and details of the plans of the Qatari authorities
with the participation of the Brotherhood leaders in Europe and the
participation of Doha in establishing over 90 centers for the terrorist
group in various European countries such as the “light” center in
France, while reports revealed that the Qatar Charity Foundation has
contributed to funding 140 projects in Europe valued at over 120
million euros, including 47 projects in Italy, 22 projects in France
and Spain, and 10 projects in Germany, and the British newspaper
“Times” confirmed that the Qatari “Rayyan” bank in Britain involves in
providing financial services to terrorist organizations in the Kingdom
United.
The Washington Free Beacon newspaper
said: Qatar is spending billions of dollars to penetrate the American
education system to improve the image of the Tamim regime and cover-up
its terrorist operations as part and propaganda in favor of Doha, where
legal lawyers have confirmed that it violates the US federal laws and
requires comprehensive investigations, to exceed Qatar donations of
over 1.5 billion To fund a set of educational initiatives at 28
American universities, making it one of the most widespread foreign
funders in the US educational system, raises doubts about the hidden
objectives of the Qatari government from these suspicious donations.
Qatar: Small, but dangerous

Qatar has supported terrorism in
Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Tunisia and Egypt, and has spent huge
amounts of money in support and funding of jihad groups and terrorist
activities in Europe and elsewhere in the West. Qatar has supported
jihad terrorism in order to gain a foothold in some Arab and regional
countries, so as to counterbalance its small size and relative
weakness, as well as its lack of any political or military weight in
the Middle East. Indeed, Qatar has succeeded in penetrating some
countries by means of terrorism and aiding in the formation of armed
terrorist groups such as al Qaeda in Syria and Iraq, destabilizing
security. Qataris also purchase political power and influence,
furthering the Qatari dream of being a regional power, or at least
giving the illusion of being one.
The main supporter of the Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt was Qatar. The resounding fall of the Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt and the insistence of the Egyptian people on
getting rid of the Muslim Brotherhood regime has had a great impact on
the psyche of the Qatari regime. This, in turn, has had a very negative
effect on Qatar’s policies towards Egypt and other Arab countries that
have rejected the Muslim Brotherhood’s terrorism, and who have also
worked to eradicate it from that region and the world.
Qatar’s support for jihad terrorism
became a political ideology that seeped into Qatari military, security,
diplomatic and even charitable institutions. This has led to an
unprecedented increase in the spread of jihad terrorism in the region,
accompanied by the emergence of many jihad terrorist groups under the
support of Qatar, which provides them with funds and weapons. This has
prompted other Arab countries to boycott Qatar in order to stop its
terrorist activities, which have violated the security and stability of
the region.
Qatar-funded Muslim Brotherhood
activities in Europe, meanwhile, have promoted Europe’s Islamization.
Qatar’s solidarity with Iran and its coordination with the Islamic
Revolutionary Guards (which is designated as a terrorist organization
by the United States), the Quds Force, and the Iranian intelligence
have worked to undermine the security and stability of the neighboring
Arab countries in particular, and that of the entire world. Qatar’s
activities in support of terrorism in the Gulf region and worldwide
continue.
Qatar also supports the activities of
notorious anti-West activists Linda Sarsour and Ilhan Omar, for
example, and in an attempt to exploit poor youth, it recruits them for
terrorist organizations such as the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah, and
Iraqi sectarian jihadist militias, as well as for the remnants of the
Islamic State (ISIS), in order to destabilize national security,
especially in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, in retaliation for isolating
Qatar and its ally, the Muslim Brotherhood. Qatar has hampered progress
and development in the Arab anti-Muslim Brotherhood countries by
targeting security and stability, striking at their relations with the
world, and trying to target their interests and investments. This has
become one of the main reasons for Qatar’s support for jihad terrorism.
Qatar has become an ally to Iran and
its proxies, as well as of Erdogan’s Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Qatar has become a tool of Iranian terrorism and Turkish interventions,
and a financial tool for Turkey’s proxies in Europe. Because of its
alliances with Iran and Turkey, it has now become a dangerous security
risk for Arabic countries and the world in general.
Why is Qatar important to the United
States? Simply because of Al Udeid Air Base, which is one of the most
important US bases in the world. It is used by other US allies for
military operations, such as the United Kingdom and Australia during
the Gulf Wars and operations in Syria. Qatar is a tiny, rich state
which pays for US lobbyists and US politicians to influence some of the
policies of the US. For example: “Qatar has spent $16.3 million
lobbying the U.S. in 2017, compared to $4.2 million in 2016, in an
attempt to lobby about 250 people who can influence President Trump’s
foreign policy.”
