Thousands of Cats &Dogs getting poisoned &die a very long and painful death.Please help.
In Hurghada, Egypt are a lot of stray dogs and cats. The way how they are treated and seen here by the people, even by little children is horrible and not imaginable. The government, private people and hotel managers try to get rid of them by dropping toxic baits on the streets and the hotel area. Little children play football with kittens and puppies and I saw that they threw a just born cat in front of a train when the train arrived. They put robes around dogs necks so tight that, if they survive, you can see their meat afterwards. The children here never learned how to treat animals, they never learned that they also have a soul and feelings like we have. Here in Egypt they are seen as a thing by most of the people. The baits what the people put on the streets and in the hotel areas, are very cruel for the animals, and a very high risk for the citizens as well. Strychnin or Methomyl or even a stronger poison is used for this toxic baits on the streets and they mix it in meat, so the hungry stray AND private animals come in good hope and just wanna eat and then the fight begins! They have cramps, are bleedings out of all holes they have and after hours, they will be dead.
Methomyl pure is declared as an insect poison but it is a contact poison as well and often used in pure form or a mix for this baits. We feel this is a invasion of privacy for us, our children and our private pets.This is very cruel for the animals and very dangerous for HUMANS as well.
The problem is easily to get under control by sterilisation and castration of this animals. Poisoning them makes the problem worse. This procedure doesnt cause the minimizing of stray dogs and cats. It is pushing this problem to the top as it is proved in worldwide examinations. This decrease of animals is causing more stray puppies or kittens for the next born generation because of increasing the food for the animals that survive.
The problem will be double within one year and sterilization and castration is the only possibility to get red of this problem futurewise. The financial costs therefore havent to be carried by the government. There are enough volunteer organizations that are offering this service for free. It just needs the approbation of the government. Dear Signers, I wanna reach with your help and support that the governor of Hurghada will agree to stop the poisoning of stray dogs and cats by using toxic baits and that he will agree to create a law against animal abuse and charge th people who abuse them.
The people dont feel safe to leave their houses and to know there can be toxic baits containing Strychnin or even more toxic ingredients everywhere on the street. Poison is easy to get with underhand deals. This is like an invitation for terroristic activities as well.
We, the undersigned ask the governor of Hurghada to stop the poisoning of stray dogs and cats by using toxic baits. This baits are very cruel for the animals and they have an undescribable pain, cramps which they feel until they are comletly dead! Furthermore these baits are a very high risk for the citizens. Strychnin or even a stronger poison is used for this toxic baits on the streets!
Methomyl pure is declared as an insect poison but it is a contact poison as well and often used in pure form or a mix for this baits. We feel this is a invasion of privacy for us, our children and our private pets.
