Keeping wildlife for fun in this oil-rich country is in vogue. Pets as cheetahs, tigers and lions are a status symbol for people showcasing luxurious life in the United Arab Emirates.

Uses have mixed views on the clip. While some found it “scary”, others voiced concerns about the animal being confined to a house.
One wrote: “So this is what yall doing with the Gas station Money lol I LOVE”, “😂Very funny! That is definitely a Billionaires lifestyle! 😂😂😂 I just hope he has plenty of Cat food,” wrote another. “Get him.poor tiger,” wrote another.
“So wrong , does not belong here needs his freedom .This beautiful animal is not a toy,” was another comment.
The pet tiger is shown in the beginning of the video chasing a man in the living room of a posh UAE home. The man is seen smiling as the tiger runs after him. He later stumbles on the ground as the tiger grabs him.
The terrified man then tries to stand up and run again.
The UAE has passed a law, which regulates the possession and trade of predatory, dangerous and semi-dangerous animals. Under this law, only zoos, wildlife parks, circuses, and breeding and research centres would be allowed to keep wild or exotic animals. In addition, dog owners would need to buy a licence for their pets and keep them on a leash at all times when in public.
Fines for failing to comply with the law may be accompanied by a jail term and the animal would be confiscated.
