Agriculture Minister on Dog Safety
The Egyptian Minister of Agriculture confirmed that the national strategy for dealing with stray dogs until 2030 is based on a scientific and humane approach aimed at maintaining a balance between protecting citizens and animals. The strategy includes four main pillars: vaccination, spaying/neutering, release, and treatment of aggressive or highly dangerous dogs, which are housed in designated shelters. In necessary cases, euthanasia is performed in accordance with the law. He emphasized the state's firm rejection of mass killing of dogs, the use of poisons, or inhumane extermination methods, stressing that implementation is carried out in coordination with governorates and civil society organizations, with the necessary funding provided. The minister also denied the truth of information circulating on social media regarding the handling of stray dogs, affirming that the strategy aims to protect both citizens and animals simultaneously, based on scientific research and full coordination among relevant authorities. He clarified that importing dogs is subject to individual choice, and that controlling the number of stray dogs requires time and effort as part of a humane and legal plan that aligns with environmental conservation.
