Well, it seems a lot of people in Oman do care about animal treatment. I'm posting a couple of comments from the previous post on mis-treatment of animals at Creatures pet shop in Sabco centre.

Jet Driver did a nice follow-up post here and also got an official reply from famously nice and very professional Muscat vet Dr. Elke, who confirmed she is not the on-retainer vet for Creatures, despite reports.


Update 1: Petition
The reader whose puppy died is starting a petition to send to the authorities and try to get things changed. You can probably just send emails of support too.

May I ask that anybody who has had similar experiences, whether at Sabco or elsewhere, send me the details on muscat-petshop-petition@hotmail.com. All information received will be treated in the STRICTEST of confidence. My intention is to raise this problem with the highest authorities - if we do not at least try, nothing will ever happen.

Thank you.

Update 2: Y Mag article?
It looks like friend of animals Y magazine is also looking to take up the story.

If anyone has pictures of cruelty from ANY petshop in Oman, please email it to cruelty@y-oman.com - urgently.

Update 3: Take direct action
I can tell you that the phone number for CREATURES TRADING is (+968) 24563721

Readers may wish to give them a call and tell them what you think about the situation...


Update 4: Adopt a pet



Contact Dr. Elke (or pretty much any vet) at Al Qurum Vet Clinic and they will be happy to give you a free pet all vaccinated and neutered, for you to look after and save from the big sleep.

If you don't want to get a pet yourself I'm sure Dr. Elke could do with a cash contribution to help her with the strays.
