Depending on a lot of things, dogs can be a problem as many see them as taking godliness away from a home. That applies to some of the 86% Muslim population.

Most in south east Asia/ asia聽 look at animals as a possession rather than a pet this is birds, dogs and cats etc to name a few.
It is looked upon very differently compared to the western world in many cases but not all
Rabies and other desease within animals within south east Asia is a risk, interestingly Indonesia is the only country to go from low to medium risk for rabies.
For a westerner to see such animals treated in the way they are is shocking so you have to try and prepare (if such a thing) to see dogs caged up and not exercised in sweltering heat and conditions and mistreated (again not always the case but common in my experience)
A good (trained) vet are few and far between but they are around and reasonable priced
Birds seem popular along with cats but many strays along with dogs and just disregarded (out of sight out of mind attitude)
Foods, vets grooming for cats and dogs etc is no problem in my location including mobile services and emergency out of hours

Birds are big out here, ranging from fancy birds for show to lots and lots of racing pigeons.
There are bird shops all over the place, all seemingly doing reasonably well, and birds are very commonly seen outside homes all over Indonesia.

Yes huge business for some, sadly many species are endangered/ critically endangered within Indonesia due to illegal trading

I just red on Facebook that on Bali somebodies鈥� dog was poisoned, while it was a very kind dog and loved by many. My experience is that Indonesian are not animal friendly.
I lived for 7 years in Jepara, it was forbidden to keep a dog? If I would have taking a dog, I am sure somebody would has poisoned it.
According to my Indonesian ex-wife it is allowed to keep a dog in the garden in Mecca. If it is allowed in Mecca, why not in Indonesia?
That is what I hate about religions trying to tell you how to live your live with their own made rules.

That's utter rubbish.
Apart from Bali being mostly Hindu, I know loads of Muslim people with dogs at home.

Perhaps I could encourage you not to post ill informed crap from Facebook, please.

Some years ago it was made illegal/ or bylaws to 鈥渟ell鈥� dogs and cats in Mecca or Mecca area聽 I鈥檓 guessing around 12/ 15 years ago as I was living and working in Saudi at the time, it was strange as the saluki or similar breed was popular amongst Saudis at the time
