Reham Saeed Shares Part Two of “Fox Hunting” Episode

TV presenter, Reham Saeed shared Sunday the second part of the "Fox Hunting" episode, which caused great controversy and led to the suspension of her “Sabaya Al-Khair” program broadcast on the "Al-Nahar" channel.

"This is the second part of the episode, that wasn't broadcast. The episode was about the hunters, not the animals," Saeed captioned.

On Saturday, Egypt’s Supreme Council for Media Regulation (SCMR) suspended Saeed's show. This suspension comes pending investigations into the episode.

Saeed made her comeback to TV on November 30, after a one-year suspension penalty over an earlier outcry she had stirred by describing overweight people as “a burden.”

The controversial episode aired late Wednesday, featuring a chase of a small fox in what looked like a desert area in Egypt.

Animal rights supporters stirred uproar on social media, following the broadcast of the episode.

Users of social media were appalled by footage shared from her latest episode showing a group of hunters, alongside her, catching a small fox in a way they described as "merciless."

It also showed the small fox pinned down and tied from its legs and mouth, looking helpless and in pain at the hunters.

They also launched hashtags against her, calling for the TV network to stop airing her show once again.

The channel removed the episode and issued an apology, saying it was aiming to shed light on animal hunting activity in Egypt to help export them.

On Thursday, Environment Minister Yasmine Fouad announced that legal measures will be taken against Saeed and the TV channel that broadcast an illegal hunting trip of wild animals.

According to article 28 of the environment law, hunting, and killing, as well as catching birds and wild animals are prohibited in Egypt. The law also bans transporting, importing, and exporting, or offering to sell such birds and animals, or practicing activities that tend to destroy their natural habitats.
