Iraq’s prime minister has launched an investigation into an incident where a bear escaped from its crate on an Iraqi aircraft at Dubai airport. Passengers were left frustrated by the delay, while the incident caused a buzz on social media. Iraqi Airways denied responsibility for the bear’s escape and stated that their crew collaborated with authorities in the UAE to sedate and remove the animal from the plane. Video footage showing the apology of the plane’s captain circulated on social media. Iraqi Airways assured that the transportation procedures for the bear complied with international standards set by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). While Dubai International Airport declined to comment, an Iraqi Airways official confirmed that the bear was indeed being transported to Baghdad. The popularity of keeping predatory animals as pets, particularly in Baghdad, has increased among the wealthy in Iraq. Authorities have faced challenges in enforcing laws to protect wildlife, resulting in calls for citizens to report such cases and prevent animals from being released or consumed in local restaurants.
