There is a small but thriving secret market in Qatar that offers wild animals like lions, leopards and chimpanzees for sale.
There is an increasing demand and the buyers are those fond of keeping the dangerous animals as pets and willing to pay the price.
The asking price for a lion cub can be QR90,000 ($25,000) on average, while that for a chimpanzee is up to QR70,000 ($19,223).
A leopard, on the other hand, can command a price of around QMoneyR45,000 ($12,500) in the Qatari market.
These animals are smuggled into the country, pointing to a need to mount added vigil at the points of entry of goods, including livestock.
Keeping dangerous animals as pets in violation of the law here is not uncommon. Once a person visited a friend's home in February 2013 in Al Azizya suburb and was stunned to see a lion sitting in his living room, according to The Peninsula.
"I turned back and ran to safety. I haven't been to the friend's house ever since and I don't want to go there ever," the man said.
Recently, a Filipina maid was killed by a "pet" lion in a home in Kuwait, and in the same country a young Kuwaiti was rescued by people after a leopard inadvertently kept hungry for two days by a family attacked him.
The daily said it managed to visit some homes in Qatar that have wild animals as pets and the people there spoke on the condition of anonymity.
One home had a lion, a chimpanzee and a leopard and the hair-raising part of the dangerous practice was that these animals were living amid three children of their owner. The oldest child was 10.
"When we asked him how he could trust these animals with his children, the owner replied causally that the animals were friendly."
He said a belt was tied around the lion's neck, for instance, and the moment he would be aggressive, the animal could be given electric shock with a remote device and it would become okay.
But the leopard in the home remained unleashed and was moving around freely.
The owner said there is a big market for wild animals in a neighbouring country, and in Doha there is a small replica of it that offers dangerous animals for sale on the sly. "It is a secret market."
The practice of people keeping wild animals as pets was highlighted by the Ministry of Interior in a warning recently.
There were discussions on social media on the issue with people decrying the trend and urging authorities to act tough against those who breached the law.
Commentators suggested that an extensive inspection campaign be launched and the animals be caught and sent to the zoo.
The owners must be fined hugely, made to pay for the animals' daily upkeep in the zoo and allowed to visit their animals at regular intervals
