Sheikhs in Dubai spend vast
of money on purchasing and breeding rare cats simply to show off their wealth. In my opinion, this constitutes excessive display of wealth.
After acquiring all sorts of huge gold cars, platinum-shining toilets, Mercedes trucks, and giant palaces, they must have been thinking about what else they could do with all the money they had that was gathering dust in the corner. They seemed to have gathered together and deliberated on what the next big and rare thing they could acquire would be that would attract the attention of the public.
Some sheikh in the corner of the room, said 'How about keeping a big cat "?
Thus, the trend of owning lions and tigers has become commonplace for the bored shiekhs of the UAE.
Please see the photos below how pet big cats are a common sight in Dubai.
"Finally I left Madagascar."
"I don't like this. I told you, I prefer Jaguar."
There's nothing to see here, just a tiger relaxing.
"Umm, I ordered a KFC Zinger for myself and 2 buckets of chicken for my lion."
