Egypt – Animal Abuses At Veterinary Program At Cairo University.

THIS IS A VOLUNTEER RUN SITE, As the name suggests, our aim is to inform the world regarding any animal cruelty, abuse and suffering. ALL OF THE WORK undertaken is self financed – WE DO NOT GAIN ANYTHING FINANCIALLY, in fact we self fund in respect of our support for the animals. We do not ask for you to become members and support us financially; all we want is for you to visit us, maybe learn something new on an issue; and then leave us to take your own independent campaign work further. By undertaking this volunteer work, we hope we are a ‘World Animals Voice’, speaking for animals of the planet who suffer in silence; unable to represent themselves vocally or legally. What you get from us is the hard core reality of animal suffering; the reality, we do not dress it up with flowers to make it more pleasant. We have one aim, and that is to be the animals voice – nothing more, BUT NOTHING LESS – Thank You. WAV is based in Kent; England.

This is an issue that has been in the ‘animal rights’ camp for years; but we consider it is worth putting out info again.

A flood of whistleblower and student reports connected to a veterinary program at Cairo University and other universities across Egypt paints a picture of abuses to animals so grotesque and severe it appears to violate the nations constitution and law.

IT IS UNDERTOOD THAT THESE TYPE OF ABUSES MAY STILL BE CONTINUING
