PETA used the Club World Cup in Philadelphia to call out the killing of homeless animals in Marocco.

2 pitch invaders held up signs saying ‘Morocco – Stop Shooting Dogs And Cats’.

PETA has been critical regarding Morocco’s government treatment of stray animals; with dogs being gunned down. set on fire, and killed in other terrible ways, just for the sake of a soccer match said a PETA executive, Tracy Reiman.

Morocco’s King Mohammed VI issued a royal order in 2019 to end the country’s policy of killing homeless animals; but PETA claim that authorities have not followed through with that pledge.

Morocco has over 3 MILLION stray dogs; and as we always say, but appear to be forever ignored by by authorities; you do not solve the issue by simply killing. A nationwide, government funded Trap, Neuter and then Release program is the only wat to reduce stray numbers over time. We argued this in the past with the Serbian Government when we were working to help strays out there; again, an authority which thinks it knows better and thus ignores friendly advice.
