In December, 2019 a horrific video clip went viral across social media showing four people torturing a dog in a Tuk-Tuk (a three-wheeled motorized vehicle) by striking it with large knives, leaving long deep slashes across the body as the dog yelps in agony and finally succumbs to death[18]. The incident took place in al-Matareya suburb of Cairo, and immediately sparked outrage online. As a result, four people were arrested for torturing and killing the dog[19].
