GIZA ZOO in a terrible state!

The Giza Zoo is in a terrible state not to mention the poor animals trapped within its confines!

Our team has been in contact with a lawyer over there who has contacts within the Giza Zoo and is trying to organize granting us access to the zoo in order for us to do a MASSIVE working bee 


Look how disgusting this is! the water is rancid and there is so much rubbish littered throughout!

 This poor poor girl has been chained here for 25years! 25 YEARS! This is literally mind-blowing! Who in their right mind could do such a thing to an animal? And then make money off her by selling tourists photographs of themselves standing next to her.

Some people seem to have NO EMPATHY!


This camel gets tied all day because he doesn't along with his pony paddock mate.

First Aid RESCUE COURSES

There has been some requests from the Egyptian people asking if we (the Kiwi Care Team) can run some first aid rescue courses while we are over.
The people over there have no idea what to do in the event of finding a sick or injured animal...
This is a great start that there are people out there asking and looking for help.

Some schools within the Giza area have started with classroom education involving animal welfare lessons. Another great start, educating the younger generations!


Live animals are used in the classroom demonstrations.


Chloe and I have been asked to run one of the first aid courses for rescue animals while we are over there, so we will be looking forward to not only helping the animals but also working with the locals who want to see change, learn and make a difference :)

Congratulations to Beth Lamb who won the raffle! Great prize, i know she really wanted that lubrisyn!

To everyone who donated or brought rafle tickets thankyou for your contributiion, it realy is going to a great cause, and every little penny helps.

It feels like this Egypt thing is really happening now. Rabies shots are booked, the first in a series of three, not something to look forward to, as after that their is still hepatitis, menigicocal and tetnus to go. At least  the first part of the journey is now underway.
