Animal rights in Lebanon
The Lebanese parliament passed a law in 2017 that outlines requirements for keeping domestic pets, regulations for zoos and pet shops, and penalties for violations, including jail time and fines. This law also outlaws abusing pets or owning wild or endangered animals.
Animals Lebanon's executive director, Jason Mier, told AFP that “with this law, Lebanon’s regulations are as strict, if not stricter, than other laws in the region."
