In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the religious police has banned the sale of dogs and cats as well as walking them in public. Violators found outside with their pets will have them confiscated by agents of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. The commission's general manager said, "If a man is caught with a pet, the pet will be immediately confiscated and the man will be forced to sign a document pledging not to repeat the act," and "If he does, he will be referred to authorities." <ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,395341,00.html Saudi Arabia Bans Sale of Dogs and Cats in Capital in Effort to Keep Sexes Apart], Associated Press, ''Fox News Channel'', July 31, 2008</ref>
