Morocco have been chosen, along with Spain and Portugal, as the only bid for the FIFA 2030 World Cup. This bid will go to the final FIFA vote on December 11th 2024.

Morocco are violently killing the free roaming dogs in an attempt to impress FIFA. 3 MILLION dogs are at risk.The methods of killing include poisoning with strychnine either through directly injecting into the dog or through placing it in food. Government mandated gun men cruise the urban and rural areas of Morocco, day and night, with rifles and pistols and shoot dogs. They rarely get a clean shot. The dogs are left to bleed out, often thrashing around and screaming in agony. Their bodies are often left to rot where they fall. Dogs are also hunted down and trapped with medieval clamping devises and thrown into the back of trucks with other terrified dogs. These dogs are taken to be killed in ‘fake dispensaries’. They are either burned in incinerators or taken and dumped in mass graves. Not all dogs are dead when dumped.

This violence is public and seen and heard by children, citizens and tourists.

The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child are concerned about children being exposed to this type of violence due to its harmful effects. On September 18th 2023 they issued General Comment 26;

'Children must be protected from all forms of physical and psychological violence and from exposure to violence such as domestic violence and violence inflicted on animals'.

FIFA know all of this.

The International Animal Coalition are calling on FIFA to condemn this violence and demand Morocco stop this killing immediately, or risk being withdrawn from co-hosting the World Cup.
