Egyptian veterinary authorities announce poison campaign

against cats and dogs

 

The Egyptian veterinary authorities in Giza announced today in AL AKHBAR

the nation wide newspaper that it is starting its campaign to poison

cats and dogs, despite the fact that the Giza area had spaying/neutering

projectdone through vier pfoten organization from Austria in

cooperation with the society for protection of animal rights in Egypt

(SPARE & the Egyptian society for Animal friends ( ESAF), A 5 year

neutering project with WSPA to neuter animals in this governorate was

discussed and agreed with the head of the veterinary department in

Egypt, the project is due to start in few weeks.They are using

strychnine that is prohibited world wide ( harmful for people &

environment) and claim that the animal die in 5 minutes which is not

true as the animal sometimes suffer for hours or days before it dies or

otherwise we would not have received all these numbers of poisoned cats

and dogs at our shelters and saved them.Following is the translation of

the article and the Arabic article itself, please cross post and write

to international organizations worldwide to help the animal groups in

Egypt fighting this battle alone . Please Please help

We are desperate for your help, animal organizations in Egypt are taking

it upon themselves alone to carry on neuter programs and vaccinating

strays to avoid this destiny for them, but it seems that all our efforts

are not appreciated by the government or the vet authorities that are

not carrying their main job of helping and treating animals instead of

poisoning them.We are also calling upon Vier pfoten to protest to this

action as many of the animals they worked on in May and June of 2005

will be the victims, not to mention that other areas as hurghada and

sharm sheikh and dahab already had the same action carried on dogs that

were already neutered and vaccinated.
