  • Undoubtedly this is a beautiful place to visit - but it does not earn the description "Paradise" for me !!- unless Paradise is filled with abused/unwanted and un-cared for dogs and cats left to breed till they are out of control population wise and therefore end up starving , being tortured cruel locals and/or left to run about the roads to get run over and injured/killed by passing vehicles !!!! we viisited the islands a couple of weeks ago and were horrified that the Government in the Seychelles does nothing to help these poor unfortunate creatures !!!!there are a small band of wonderful supporters of the Seychelles Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals on the islands who are trying desperately to instigate changes and offer free neutering for dogs and cats.

    We witnessed so much animal suffering in these islands that it has spoilt our holiday memories and until I hear that this situation has drastically improved I will not be returning to the Seychelles .

  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • If you do witness animal cruelty on your visit to the Seychelles or just feel strongly about the way the country chooses to ignore it's animal cruelty issues and the impact that this has on their tourism industry please write to one of the addresses below expressing your concerns:
    joric@seychelles.net or Stranel@yahoo.com these people are able to forward your comments to Government and Tourist Associations on the islands - this is the only way to evoke change by sticking together to be heard !

    PLEASE HELP by doing this as your letters WILL HELP enormously.

    Also the address of the SSPCA in the Seychelles is :

    Seychelles Society For THe Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals
    P.O. Box 596

    Warnings Or Dangers: SEA URCHINS
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Watch out for sea urchins - they are everywhere in the waters of the Seychelles and apparently VERY painful if stood upon !!!! so watch where you put your feet - especiall y
    near or on rocks or if you stand on the ocean floor without looking !! - wear some sort of footwear where swimming if possible.
