Unfortunately, on the night of January 27th to 28th, 2024, dogs were poisoned in this residential complex. A “troublesome” pack consisting of over 30 dogs repeatedly gained access to the residential complex, searching for food in its garbage piles. Neurotoxin was added to the trash.
Nine dogs died, and three others had to spend five days in the animal clinic, including two puppies.
Although it is now illegal in Egypt to poison innocent stray animals, it still happens.
On the same day, we reached out to Mr. Mohamed, the City Council of South Sinai, and the manager of the local vice president, Dr. Inas, as well as the City Council of Napq, Mr. Ahmed.
A meeting was scheduled for the same day between Mr. Ahmed, the manager of the Sierra complex, Mr. Salah, and The Path to Humanity, represented by Joana.
A big thank you at this point to Mr. Ahmed, the Mayor of Napq, who gave Sierra a week to clean up the garbage very strictly.
Furthermore, a deal was made between the residential complex, represented by their manager, Salah, and us.
On their part: Dispose of the garbage, and all holes in the walls surrounding the residential complex, fence, and gate must be repaired so that the dogs cannot enter the complex anymore.
On our part: As The Path to Humanity, we offered to neuter and vaccinate the remaining 25 dogs and set up a feeding station outside the residential complex.
Sierra, under the leadership of their manager, Salah, adhered to the deal. The garbage was gone within a week. And now, all the holes around the complex have been patched up.
We vaccinated and neutered the 25 dogs (see Project 8), and a feeding station outside the complex has been set up.
Solving problems without taking lives and creating a world where humans and animals can coexist. We lead by example.

The attitude of the Sierra housing complex under the management of Salah is still commendable.
Once again, garbage had accumulated in the compound (a feeding ground for the stray dogs that no one in the housing complex wants). After consulting with Salah, he informed us that the trucks that were supposed to collect the garbage hadn’t come for two consecutive days. The garbage problem in Egypt is an ongoing issue, even though efforts are being made, and there has been more progress in recent years than before.
But the manager leads by example. He has reduced the number of garbage dumping sites by two again.
Thank you for this good cooperation, Salah.
