The Public Utilities and Environment Committee at the Shura Council, chaired by Dr. Mohammed Ali Hassan Ali, discussed a draft law on regulating the ownership and trade of dangerous animals during its meeting yesterday.
The session was attended by Eng. Asim Abdulatif Abdullah, Undersecretary for Agriculture and Animal Resources at the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture, along with several ministry officials.
The committee reviewed the objectives of the draft law, which aims to establish a comprehensive legal framework to regulate the possession, handling, and care of dangerous animals.
Risks
The proposal also seeks to address the current legislative gap, particularly the absence of penalties for individuals who possess such animals without proper licensing or authorization, which may pose risks to lives and property.
The draft law includes provisions to regulate ownership through the creation of a unified database, enhancing oversight mechanisms, and clearly defining the competent authorities responsible for enforcement.
