SummerGulfdailynews @GDNonline alert@GDNonline GDNonlineover increase in strays By GHAZI ALSHEHABI ANIMAL welfare activ- ists have sounded an alarm over an increase in strays as people going on summer holidays are abandoning their pet ani- mals in the streets. Several shelters also ex- pressed their inability to ac- commodate all the animals. Situation “Every year, around this time, the Bahrain Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BSPCA) notices an increase in reports of aban- doned pets with collars left on the streets in the summer to fend for themselves,” said society social secretary Ana Foltin. “The society sees an in- crease in the number of an- imals handed over to the shelter. Sadly, this coincides with the time of year where fewer adoptions take place at the BSPCA. “There is a combination of factors contributing to this sad situation – people going on holiday, school vacation and boarding kennels.

By JACKIE BEEDIE

LEEP researchers at an Australian university have suggested frag- Smented sleep was the norm in the pre-industrial era. People would go to sleep for up to six hours at night and then have a two- hour nap in the middle of the day. It was only industrialisation and factory work that insisted on employ- ees being fully awake on shift for 12 straight hours. The pattern of having two distinct periods of sleep is, however, still em- bedded in our physical makeups. I am sure most of you experience a dip in concentration between 2pm and 4pm in the afternoon, I know I do. For the past 40 years I have needed only four or ve hours of sleep a night, especially after coming to Bahrain – where we do not face the prospect of Formula One divas waking up on cold mornings and being O wonder F1 drivers like racing in unable, or unwilling, to cast o the NBahrain – they are afraid of a bit of blankets and get out of bed. rain!

Barn Gulfdailynewsowners@GDNonline @GDNonline refuseGDNonline to leave Muharraq By SHAHLAA AHMED

THIRTY animal traders who were supposed to move out of an area near Bahrain International Airport are refusing to leave. The barn owners are digging their heels in despite being offered a bigger, alternative land in Hamala. They were supposed to leave the present site, located between Galali and Samaheej, on May 31 to make way for a $1.1 billion airport expan- sion project, which was launched on February 17 this year. Expansion The landmark expansion, which will increase the airport’s capacity to 14 million passengers a year, is part of an ambitious strategy worth $32bn to boost Bahrain’s economic growth. The proposed new location already houses thousands of farm animals and www.GulfConstructionMagazine.Com has additional room but the traders are not happy. n Animal traders will sooner or later be forced to leave “They will be forced to move out Muharraq sooner or later,” said Muharraq Municipal is a better choice.

The possibility of Turkey bringing back capital punish- ment for the plotters has put further strain on Ankara’s re- lationship with the EU, which Turkey seeks to join but which demands candidates forgo the death penalty. Turkey outlawed capital punishment in 2004 as part of its bid to join the bloc and Eu- ropean officials have said back- tracking on the death penalty would effectively put an end to the EU accession process. But crowds at rallies have demand- ed the coup plotters be execut- ed, and the government says it must at least consider it. “People demand the death penalty and that demand will surely be assessed. We have to assess that demand from the standpoint of law, and not ac- cording to what the EU says,” Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag told broadcaster CNN Turk.
