Wildlife protection areas law gets the Cabinet nod

Saudi Gazette report

JEDDAH — The wildlife protection areas law got the Cabinet approval on Monday.

The Cabinet meeting, presided over by Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Naif, deputy premier and minister of interior, endorsed the law after the Shoura Council studied and approved the regulation in April this year.

During the debate on the provisions of the law, the Shoura Council had noted that some people not only torture animals but film their actions and upload the clips on social media for others to watch. The Shoura Counil was also of the opinion that naming and shaming animal torturers would act as an effective deterrent. If the criminals were not severely punished and named, their peers might believe such actions are permissible under the law, it noted.

The crown prince thanked Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman for his wise directives and continuing efforts in the service of the Two Holy Mosques and the millions of pilgrims. “The inauguration of the five projects of the third Saudi expansion of the Holy Mosque shows the keenness and the great attention the King accords to the Islamic sites and enabling the pilgrims to perform their rituals in ease and comfort,” he said.

Dr. Majed Bin Abdullah Al-Qasabi, minister of social affairs and acting minister of culture and information, said the Cabinet was briefed on a number of reports on latest developments at regional, Arab and international arenas and reiterating the firm positions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to resolve all contentious issues, Saudi Press Agency (SPA said.

The Cabinet, the minister said, commended the close, deep-rooted and distinguished relations between the Kingdom and Egypt under the leadership of King Salman and President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. The Cabinet was briefed on the results of the recent meeting between Deputy Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, second deputy premier and minister of defense, with the Egyptian president in Cairo. The Cabinet also hailed the Cairo Declaration that highlighted the keenness of both sides to enhance security and stability in the region.

The Cabinet reiterated the Kingdom's condemnation and denunciation of the heinous terrorist crime carried out by Israeli settlers in Douma village of Palestinian city of Nablus that resulted in the burning of a Palestinian infant.

It expressed the Kingdom's condemnation and denunciation of Israeli occupation forces and Jewish extremists' storming and desecrating of the blessed Al-Aqsa mosque and preventing Muslims from entering it. The Cabinet appealed to the international community to fulfill its responsibilities and adopt necessary measures to protect the Palestinian people from the aggressive Israeli practices which provoke the feelings of Muslims and constitute flagrant violation of the simplest basic human rights.

The Cabinet also praised the humanitarian truce offer of the coalition command in Yemen felicitating delivery and distribution of humanitarian and medical assistance to the Yemeni people.

The Cabinet authorized the minister of foreign affairs — or his deputy — to discuss with Ivory Coast a draft general agreement for cooperation between the Kingdom and Ivory Coast, sign it, and submit the final version for further authentication.
