Sustainable Action Now reports a shocking and heartbreaking discovery: PETA investigators have found horse mummies and a makeshift graveyard in Egypt—but these aren’t the ancient relics tourists come to see. These are the remains of carriage horses, animals exploited and worked to death by an industry that shows them little to no respect, even in death.
In a chilling scene, investigators documented the bodies of horses discarded in shallow graves, bones exposed to the elements, and makeshift burial pits just steps away from where live horses continue to be forced to haul carriages under Egypt’s scorching sun.
🐴 “These mummified remains are not history — they are a horrifying reminder of the suffering happening right now.”
A Tragic Symbol of Exploitation
These disturbing images reveal what happens when animals are treated as disposable tools rather than living beings. The carriage horse industry in Egypt has long faced criticism for:
- Overworking horses in extreme heat
- Failing to provide adequate food, water, or medical care
- Abandoning or discarding animals once they’re too weak to work
PETA is calling for an immediate end to the use of horses for tourist carriage rides and the transition to electric, cruelty-free alternatives already adopted in other major cities.
What You Can Do:
- 🚫 Boycott horse-drawn carriage rides when traveling
- 📣 Share this story to raise awareness
- ✍️ Sign petitions demanding action from Egyptian authorities
- 💰 Support animal protection groups working on the ground
Let’s honor the lives lost — not with silence, but with action.
📢 This isn’t ancient history. This is happening now. Help stop it.
