Debate on stray dogs and safety
The article addresses the issue of stray dogs in Egypt, where estimates of their numbers range between 10 to 40 million dogs. This has sparked extensive debate over their role in ecological balance and community safety. The discussion focuses on the importance of dogs in maintaining environmental equilibrium, with some experts dismissing their role in Egypt due to the absence of forests, while animal rights activists emphasize the need for humane treatment through sterilization and proper feeding. The rising number of dogs has led to an increase in bite incidents, which reached 1.5 million cases in 2025, costing the government over 1.7 billion Egyptian pounds annually. Meanwhile, the government has adopted a plan to combat the issue through vaccination and sterilization programs, rejecting casual and unorganized practices.
