The prohibition against feeding stray animals in Dubai has been put into effect as of August 27, 2020. Dubai Municipality issued a notice to all residents and visitors that feeding strays will result in legal actions being taken.<\/p>\n

While most followed that law, many do not know the reason why<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This Local Order does not only apply to stray dogs and cats, it also includes crows and pigeons. While dogs are least commonly found in the streets of Dubai, the feeding of all these animals are prohibited.<\/p>\n

The reason for this as stated by Dubai Municipality is that providing food and water for these animals will create a favourable environment for them to remain, breed, and grow as a population.<\/p>\n

\n

reproduction and spreading of birds and stray animals (will) threat the public health and safety and transmitting diseases<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The notice states.<\/p>\n

If an individual is caught while feeding a stray animal in Dubai, they may face a fine of AED500<\/h2>\n
