Animal Care in Egypt

http://www.ace-egypt.org.uk Animal Care in Egypt is a charity dedicated to helping stop the suffering of thousands of animals in the poorest communities of Luxor by providing free veterinary care and education. This is alongside preventative treatments and education, delivering a long term impact on the welfare of working animals and the people that depend on them so greatly for their livelihoods. These hard working animals often lack the most basic veterinary care. Many are neglected or mistreated, not through malice, but due to lack of understanding or provisions. Our dedicated team of vets treat and save the lives of thousands of animals all year round. We have a walk-in clinic, a hospital to perform crucial surgeries and 25 stables that allow the animals to rest from their working lives and ensure a complete and speedy recovery. We helped over 26,000 animals in 2013. Animal Care in Egypt has an education facility as well as the animal hospital. During term time, we teach up to 50 students, four times a week in our purpose built classroom at our centre. The children are taught that animals feel pain and how to care for them. They learn to be kind and respectful to all living creatures, something which is so vital for the long term improvement of animal welfare.
