Target: Counselor Mohamed El Sherif, Attorney General of Egypt
Goal: Ensure immediate legal action and reforms to prevent animal cruelty in Egypt’s tourism industry, with harsher penalties for abusers.
Recent undercover footage from the Pyramids of Giza and other prominent Egyptian tourist destinations has exposed the heartbreaking reality of animal abuse faced by camels and horses. Actions documented by PETA reveal animals used for tourist rides are starved, beaten, and forced to work in extreme heat until they collapse from exhaustion. Some animals die from untreated wounds, starvation, and overwork, while others are dumped or dragged to slaughterhouses where they are subjected to brutal deaths.
Investigators witnessed horses and camels riddled with open wounds, struggling under heavy loads with ropes embedded in their skin. The sweltering temperatures and a lack of food and water exacerbate their suffering. Starved and malnourished, some are left to rot by the roadside, still alive but too weak to stand. These conditions directly violate any reasonable standard of animal welfare.
Although tourism plays a significant role in Egypt’s economy, these abusive practices tarnish the country’s historical sites, leaving tourists unaware of the suffering happening behind the scenes. PETA’s findings also indicate attempts by tour operators to cover up the cruelty by intimidating those who try to expose it.
It’s imperative that the Egyptian government strengthens its legal framework to protect animals in the tourism industry. Additionally, tourists must be educated about the exploitative practices so they can make ethical choices when visiting Egypt. Take immediate action.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney General Counselor Mohamed El Sherif,
I am writing to express my profound concern regarding the ongoing animal abuse at Egypt’s popular tourist sites, particularly in locations such as the Pyramids of Giza. Shocking footage from PETA reveals animals subjected to extreme cruelty, including beatings, starvation, and abandonment when no longer deemed useful. Camels and horses are forced to endure unimaginable suffering under oppressive conditions, used as mere tools to ferry tourists.
These practices not only violate basic ethical standards but also threaten Egypt’s reputation as a world-renowned destination. Tourism should never come at the expense of the lives and well-being of animals. I urge you to take immediate legal action to implement stricter regulations, enforce penalties for those guilty of animal cruelty, and ensure that no animal is subjected to abuse again.
Moreover, I encourage the Egyptian government to raise awareness among tourists, allowing them to make informed, ethical choices when visiting your beautiful country.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

I say we start beating, starving, and abusing the ones responsible for these heinous and evil acts! they completely deserve it and then some!
So fucking tired of animal abuse!!!!!!! The animal abusers NEED to rot in Hell and that’s even too good for them !!!!!!! POOR GODS CREATURES !!!!!!!!!!
What a bunch of monsters. Please spread the word and boycott these horrible tourist sites where they abuse these beautiful and helpless animals.
I agree, absolute monsters, this has changed my whole concept about Israel people, I WAS so supportive of them, as a animal lover they can go to hell and the terrorist should take them out. Total disgusting behavior.
Animals are here WITH us, not FOR us!!!!!
Ne montez plus sur le dos des chameaux. Ce n’est que souffrance pour eux. MERCI
People can be so dumb. Animals are loyal to their caregivers. Feed, pet, water, and be basically nice to animal and they will serve you with all they have to give. Be nasty and the fires of Karma will get you and force you to suffer 10 times greater than you forced an animal to suffer. This take many, many lives and all of them spent in extreme suffering and all of them are you as the one suffering. You suffer 10 times greater than what you gave. Think about that for a while. Why are people so mean and so heartless? If you give kindness you get that in return. BE grateful and your blessings will multiply.
You’re talking about a country where, as far as I understand and have learned, mental illness and lack of empathy and compassion are the norm, and where everyone is cruel. So you are asking for a miracle of sorts, by asking anyone in that country to be kind to animals, let alone each other. I cannot imagine anyone there listening to anyone about changing for the better. But you certainly have my hope and support for that.
Stop the cruelty
The time has come to ban camel and horse torture just for the amusement of tourists. The suffering that these animals endure is unconscionable.
I agree – and it is up to the tourists to tell them why they are not paying for this cruelty. These animals deserve better. There is a camel farm here in Australia where they are treated well and their milk is used. Why are some poor animals treated so badly and others are lucky? It is the humans that are the problem.
i find that a lot of worthless slobs come from countries like this – never mind our “own” Texas and other southern states here. if you look – it is over and over the same – middle east, israel, texas and more are the big hitters. never mind India, china, vietnam, korea – disgusting excuses for human. actually humans are the ones who deserve it.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU THAT’S WHY I KEEP SAYING EXACUTE ALL AND ANY LESS THAN HUMAN BEINGS SICK PHYCOPATHS THAT TORTURE, ABUSE AND KILL ANIMALS IN EVERY COUNTRY AND EVERY STATE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT WILL STOP THE DEVIL OWNS THIER SOLES AND THEY ALL WILL BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly— this IS the only way that animal torture and murder will be stopped! If these bastards started to get terminated others would soon get the message what will happen when caught! Despatched by any means possible. The world needs cleansing of these waste of space pieces of shit no messing!
J.W.
My heart breaks for all the cruelty these poor animals endure.
A bunch of enbred idiots in these countries. I pray karma takes the ones you love the most. Your nothing but a despicable country full of monsters. You will pay for your atrocities. These are God’s creatures, may you all suffer the wrath of God for abusing these beautiful animals. People please don’t go to this shit hole !!!
We have got to prosecute the people who run these horrendous, outrageous tourist attractions. And people have got to stop supporting these stupid attractions. What is the matter with people that these things are their ideas of vacations????!!!!! These animals should always be protected, respected and loved. There should be extremely strict laws prohibiting these acts, and those people who break those laws should be prosecuted and forced out of business.
Counselor Mohamed El Sherif, Attorney General of Egypt
This is unfathomable! How can you allow YOUR people to profit from the EXTREME torture of YOUR dear sweet ANIMALS! The treatment of animals that PETA has uncovered is TORTURE! Animals are not things. They cannot and should not be worked to the bone without any thought whatsoever! They are beings with hearts and souls which feel pain!!!!! It is horrible what they are being subjected to. It breaks the heart of compassionate human!
You must send a clear message that animals are to be treated with compassion and that cruelty will not be tolerated. Animal cruelty laws need to be strict and enforced in order to protect the innocent and vulnerable animals of your country!
This message should start in your schools.
Further all persons that watch these animals perform in any way also need to be held accountable. You are complicit in animal cruelty and therefore are as guilty as those profiting. YOU SHOULD ALL KNOW BETTER!
Amen to that- 100% with you!!

I´m travelling to Egypt next year. One of the things I was going to do there, was travelling with horses. I refused to do it. Instead, the agency is looking to do the trip other way. Don´t use animals. If you don´t use them, that people will use another way and will stop exploiting animals.
Don’t spend your tourist dollars in a country this backwards and barbaric. Go somewhere else and let them know why you aren’t visiting them.
Plenty of other places to go where they aren’t so horrible to animals. They’re not much better to people either.
This shithole country has been abusing poor animals – and people – since time immemorial. That are barbaric savages in that part of the world.
NO ONE should waste their tourist dollars in any country that has such a dismal animal cruelty record. Only visit those countries that have demonstrated decent treatment of animals.
Right on- with you all the way!!
J.W.
These kind of rides in different countries have to stop. Camels, horses, donkeys and elephants are all abused.
Animals are not objects. They are living, breathing sentient beings and need to be treated with kindness and compassion.
Os turistas são os principais responsáveis pelos maus tratos infligidos aos animais usados para entretenimento no turismo. Acham muito divertido e engraçado andarem montados nos animais e não querem saber se sofrem ou se são mal tratados e abusados pelos seus exploradores. É tudo uma questão de respeito pelos animais. Se os turistas não pagarem por esses serviços, simplesmente eses abusos não acontecem. Pensem primeiro no bem estar dos animais e depois na sua fútil diversão.
It is mostly retarded men who are doing this. These men need to be euthanized so that they stop breeding…
Yes I agree!!
The SCUM muslims who have taken over Egypt are responsible for this evil. Everywhere MUSLIMS go, they cause suffering and misery to animals. Egypt is now a shithole, because it’s been INVADED and taken over by non-white scum. All the Leftie idiots on here who call other White people ‘racist’ are DIRECTLY responsible for the endless suffering of animals. (Yes, I now some White people also abuse animals, but it’s only in White countries where you have much less animal abuse. Fact.)
With you all the way on this one!!!
J.W
This is despicable and must end now!!!
