Agriculture Ministry official denies claims of 50 million dogs in Egypt

Hind al-Sheikh, Director General of the General Administration for Licensing and Dealing with Dangerous Animals at Egypt's Agriculture Ministry, denied claims that there are '50 million dogs' in Egypt, calling them misinformation. She argued that domestic dogs serve a protective role by deterring crime and harmful wildlife, and have been part of Egyptian society since ancient times. Sheikh highlighted the ministry's implementation of a unified national plan to manage stray animals through long-term, scientific methods like vaccination, sterilization, and controlled release. She stressed that the issue requires comprehensive strategies rather than quick fixes, and that the ministry is working with multiple authorities to ensure sustainable solutions while prioritizing citizen safety.
