The “worst zoo in the world” is in Egypt!

They are cruel pictures. The Giza zoo in Egypt is a horror for the animals. It is time for Egypt to close this zoo and free these innocent animals!

In many ways Egypt rivals China in its abhorrent treatment of animals.

Animals in extremely small confined spaces with no food or water. Elephants are chained up, lions are circling neurotically in tight cages, the animals there are far too close to each other, many are sore and apathetic.
The Giza Zoo, founded in 1891, used to be the most spectacular – and popular – zoo in all of Africa.

Today, it’s a shadow of what it once was.

Animals live in crowded cages and are rarely exercised. Zookeepers were also known to pad their wallets by charging visitors to enter the cages.

Video footage from the zoo shows an elephant’s foot chained to a post preventing the animal from walking around. Other animals are just slaughtered.

The “worst zoo in the world” is in Egypt

Egypt’s Giza Zoo has been described by Egyptian Streets as “the worst zoo in the world” and a “zoo of horror”.
Tripadvisor reviews describe filthy, tiny cages and unfortunate, sick animals. Photos show lion cubs being held by visitors and animals beaten with sticks. This zoo must be closed immediately, so a petition that was sent to us.

Zoo Giza pg

In researching Egypt, we also came across animal torture for tourism. With all the political chaos in Egypt, it is easy to forget the suffering of its animals. Animals in ancient Egypt were once valued and respected, but like China, there is no animal welfare. The animals are exposed to every kind of abuse imaginable.

But not only the horror zoo leads to a boycott was called to make a holiday in Egypt. The rampant abuse of horses, camels and donkeys at major attractions such as the Pyramids of Giza has also led to this.

A trip to the famous pyramids of Giza (of which we had reported in our blog (https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2019/04/15/egypt-animal-slaves-for-the-pyramid-tourism/) should have been a hell of a vacation for an hungarian tourist. She was shocked and outraged by what she had seen.

Inside the pyramid complex, emaciated horses panted and kicked as they climbed a steep slope with tourists.
The drivers whipped them out to make them run faster. Some horses slipped and stumbled on the smooth asphalt and others had open wounds. Despite the summer heat, there was no water supply.

“I was shocked,” the tourist recalled. It was like in another world. “

It is time for Egypt to close this zoo and free these innocent animals!

In today’s Egypt the animals suffer a very heavy fate. The country has almost no laws protecting wild and domesticated animals and they are exposed to every kind of abuse imaginable.

Egypt competes in many ways with China for the appalling treatment of animals.

My comment: Most tourists visiting Cairo close their eyes.
They open it only to the world wondering to look at the pyramids, and the tragic miracle of what happens next to them, the misery of the work animals and their brutal torture leaves them indifferent.

This is the continuation of slavery in the 21st century.
2500 BC it was slaves who performed these miracles.
Today the animals are the slaves who every day and in miserable condition have to transport the tourists of their owners.
But these torments are favored by the stupid tourists who allow their use of obviously tortured animals to cause new suffering.

Oman: Mega dairy farm in the desert

 

On the Arabian Peninsula, the Omani Sultanate is creating a mega-dairy farm where around 25,000 cows produce around one million liters of milk a day. The plant is managed by the Mazoon Dairy Company.

The giant farm is scheduled to go into operation in the next three months.

“In the first phase, we will start producing 350,000 liters of milk a day,” said Saleh Al Shanfari, managing director of the Oman Food Investment Holding Company (OFIHC) on the “Times of Oman”.

The farm is designed for the management of 25,000 cows. “At present we have around 4,000, mainly from Australia imported dairy cows in the farm, but the herd is growing,” said Al Shanfari.

By 2030, a total of 365 million liters per year (or 1 million liters of milk per day) are to be produced.

Objective of the XXL farm: reduce milk imports

In addition to the cowsheds, a dairy, a sales and logistics center, a biogas plant and a field with solar panels are to be built.

According to Al Shanfari, milk production has already started as a test phase. At the same time, excess milk is exported and sold locally to large milk producers.

With the XXL farm, Oman wants to set up its own dairy industry to reduce dependence on imported dairy products.

My comment: First of all, some important information about the milk.
Animal protein, especially that from the milk, is a very good promoter of cancer growth.This has been proven in studies.

Professor T. Colin Campell examined this as part of his China Study, which was funded by US and Chinese taxpayers, and stated, “Which protein turned out to be carcinogenic? Casein, which accounts for 87% of the bread contained in cow’s milk, promotes all stages of cancer growth.

But it gets worse: according to a study by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health, 92% of the toxic substances in the diet (dioxins and PCBs) come from animal products.
The largest individual supplier of toxins is milk with 47%.

Of course, the average citizen does not know that the milk contains a variety of different hormones (growth hormones, sex hormones, etc.) that are otherwise available only on prescription in the pharmacy due to their health risks.

Cow’s milk is used biologically to breed a calf within a very short time.
However, when this hormone cocktail encounters an organism such as a human, which is not destined for this effect, the entire pattern of a chronic, often deadly disease becomes understandable.

The result is: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer’s, strokes …

Today we know a lot about the relationship between diet and health.
But true science is deliberately buried under harmful information, which are produced by the propaganda of the meat and milk mafia.
Because, in the state committees around the world, which set the official dietary recommendations, the members are mainly representatives of the animal industry (Dr. med. Ernst Walter Henrich)
