A popular race celebrating the kingdom’s coolest canine has been cancelled following reports of Salukis and other purebred Arabian dogs being dumped on the streets.
Animal activists praised the government’s move, stating that it’s a step in the right direction for addressing Bahrain’s stray dog problem.
The Bahrain Inherited Traditional Sports Committee (Mawrooth) issued a statement yesterday saying that the competition involving Salukis has been cancelled indefinitely.
