Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Prime Minister of Egypt Ahmed Nazif 2 Magles El Shaab St., Kasr El Aini St. Cairo Egypt Your Excellency, I am writing to request the immediate suspension of the cruel cull of pigs being carried out in Egypt. Culling is not necessary since there is no known link between the recent outbreak of swine flu and pigs. However, regardless of the reasons behind the cull of entire Egyptian pig population, I object strongly to the handling and slaughter methods of pigs shown in recent news coverage. Cruel and inhumane methods involved in the cull, including pigs being hit with iron bars, kicked and burned alive with chemicals, are not acceptable. Transport, handling and slaughter of these animals should follow the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) guidelines for humane slaughter methods, as agreed by Egypt and all other member countries of the OIE. The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) is able to provide technical advice and assistance in terms of relocating these pigs, including humane transport and handling. For ailing pigs not fit for relocation, the Egyptian government should explore humane killing methods. I urge Your Excellency to stop the pig cull. Yours sincerely, Khalid Mahmood Qurashi President, Animal Save Movement Pakistan H #1094/2 Hussain Agahi Multan 60000,Pakistan Cell #00923007368557 , PH #0092614781691 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
