Is Petworld Arabia a Pet Buying and Selling Event?
No.

This is an important correction for your existing Captain Dunes page.
Your old page currently says:

That statement should not be carried into the updated page because the current official event information says Petworld Arabia does not allow buying or selling of pets.
