The Egyptian star is attacking an argument about stray animals that has caused controversy in his country
Mo Salah had his say on a controversial animal rights issue in Egypt.
The Liverpool winger has criticized a plan to export stray cats and dogs, fearing they will be used as food.
Salah went on Twitter on Sunday night to voice his opposition to the proposal. In a message with photos of him with his Siamese cat, he said, "Cats and dogs will not be exported anywhere. It will not happen and can not happen. "

The battle began last week after the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture approved the export of 4,000 stray cats and dogs. No other details were given, except that the animals had been vaccinated against the disease. Fears grew that they could be killed for food.
Salah enjoys a heroic status in Egypt, to the point that nearly a million Egyptians voted for him as a candidate in the March presidential election. His decision to speak out against the government's policy has garnered widespread praise and support.
Many have turned to social media to applaud his involvement, while others have had a darker view of the campaign as a whole, suggesting that Egypt should instead focus on changing the violations of human rights, with one of them saying, "Let's first look at human rights, look at animal rights".
Thank you for speaking for the voiceless … animals in Egypt desperately need public figures like you to raise awareness

Far from politics, Salah should play for Liverpool against PSG Wednesday night in Paris. The 2-0 defeat by Red Star Belgrade in early November left Jurgen Klopp's team in a precarious position to advance to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.
The Reds are tied with the leaders of Group C, Napoli, but only one point ahead of PSG, third, and know that a defeat in France would lead to a complicated scenario in which the victory over Napoli would become essential.
The last meeting between Liverpool and Thomas Tuchel resulted in a famous 3-2 win over the Merseyside club. Roberto Firmino, one-eyed, scored the winning goal after Klopp's men lost a two-goal lead.
