JEDDAH: Saudi teenager Aram Alrayes did not expect her new Twitter account to attract hundreds of followers after she tweeted about animal exploitation in the Kingdom.

But the animal rights activist had noticed a lack of awareness in Saudi society and wanted it to end.

“There are people out there who want wild animals as pets and to use them in the entertainment industry. They use them for their own good, regardless of the animal’s well-being,” she told Arab News.
