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

plan to cover the whole governorate, they are using 10 kg. daily of

Strychnine for dogs and Temec for cats, they put half a gram of the poison

on a piece of raw meat or fish weighing 70 grams. and distributed in

areas where the cats and dogs gather. the meat and fish for dogs inside

private areas are provided by the owners of these areas and the dogs and

cats in the street get the meat from the leftovers of the slaughter

houses.. The members of the campaigns were masks and each animal is

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.
