CAIRO — Social media activists and animal rights associations in Egypt have been railing against hunting for weeks, furious over footage of a fox being brutalized on an illegal hunt.

During the Dec. 15 episode of "Sabaya al-Kheir," TV presenter Riham Saeed apologized for airing in a previous episode video of a fox being hunted and tortured. She claimed that the animal depicted was fed and received treatment before being freed.
