I am thing the same thing as left coaster. Arabian ranches is full steam ahead with a tidy up phase issuing violations to pretty much everybody about everything. They are fixing up all the little paving and similar problems. I would not be surprised if they have dropped out some baits for strays. I have a dog at ranches and have tried to find out if any deaths have resulted from those that only access their own back yards but to no avail. Al Quadra is in construction mode. Is it Emaar run?
