Telegraph: In preparation for the World Cup, Morocco’s large-scale killing of stray dogs has caused dissatisfaction from all walks of life
6686 Sports News on November 13 According to the British "Daily Telegraph" report, in preparation for the 2030 World Cup, Morocco, one of the host countries, shot thousands of dogs in the streets, causing dissatisfaction from all walks of life.
Morocco’s stray dog problem and attempts to combat it have a long history. But activists say the treatment of the dogs has become increasingly extreme and barbaric since Morocco won the right to co-host the 2030 World Cup. In addition to being shot, animal rights groups have collected evidence that dogs were poisoned, starved, beaten to death and even burned alive.
There are accusations against Morocco that it is trying to "clean up" its streets by shooting hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of stray dogs in preparation for the World Cup and the African Cup of Nations later this year. Meanwhile, FIFA has also been accused of turning a blind eye to the overwhelming evidence it received of the inhumane killing of dogs in Morocco.
Activists are concerned not only about animal welfare, but also about children in Morocco. Many of the killings allegedly took place in broad daylight. Earlier this year, a social organization stated that "there is credible evidence that children who witnessed the killings are suffering from severe psychological trauma."
