An Abu Dhabi Municipality official said there are special health department teams which roam neighourhoods to catch stray animals, including dogs, cats etc. The problem is always caused by the lack of cooperation by pet owners who let their pets out without attending to them. Residents are advised to report to the authorities in case of any danger posed by stray pets.
The official advised residents not to take the risk of approaching or dealing with any suspected dangerous animals and avoid direct contact with them. The official also advised pet owners to keep an eye on their pets and not let them unattended on the street, so that they don’t endanger people’s lives.

i understand people are worried about their own safety and the safety of children, which is very important; but i think people should also be made aware that they are endangering the lives of their own pets by letting them roam around the neighborhood unattended, or 'setting them free' when they do not want them anymore...
