QATAR-HEALTH-VIRUS-ANIMAL-DOGS
A mask-clad employee of the Paws animal welfare organisation walks a rescued stray dog outside the premises in the Mesaieed industrial area, about 50 kilometres south of the Qatari capital, on June 14, 2020. - Thousands of stray and abandoned animals roam the scorched streets of the wealthy Gulf nation, struggling to survive, only a few of them fortunate to be adopted. Animal rescuers now warn that there could be a spike in pets dumped in Qatar as the economic downturn, driven by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, forces families to leave at short notice, facing particular hardship because summer temperatures touch 50 degrees celsius (122 Fahrenheit) and images of animal cruelty, including airgun shootings, are common on social media.
