There are also new laws concerning wild animals<\/h3>\n

Ownership of all wild animals is now prohibited.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Breaking this law could set you back between AED10,000 adn AED500,000 in fines.\u00a0(There are some exceptions to this rule, including zoos, research centres and wildlife parks) \u00a0There is also detailed information and penalties\u00a0listed \u00a0for people who use an animal to attack another person (You’re looking at prison time and fines of up to AED 400,000 for this.)\u00a0<\/p>\n
