Telegraph: In preparation for the 2030 World Cup, Morocco is killing stray dogs on a large scale, causing dissatisfaction

According to the Daily Telegraph, in preparation for the 2030 World Cup, the host country Morocco is killing stray dogs on a large scale. This move has caused outrage internationally and domestically.

Morocco is killing stray dogs on the streets on a large scale. This behavior has not only caused public outrage internationally, but also caused strong dissatisfaction domestically, and may even affect the reputation of the World Cup, a major football event.

According to reports, in some cities in Morocco, staff went out late at night, shot stray dogs with guns and threw the bodies into trucks. The efficiency of this behavior is astounding, with the entire process taking less than 90 seconds. In addition, many stray dogs were poisoned, starved to death, beaten to death, or even burned alive.

Animal protection groups accused the Moroccan government of trying to "clean up" the streets in this way in preparation for the upcoming African Cup of Nations and the 2030 World Cup. At the same time, FIFA has also been accused of turning a blind eye to these inhumane killings.

For children in Morocco, witnessing these brutal scenes can also cause severe psychological trauma. A mother named Latifa told the media that her daughter suffered a huge psychological impact after discovering the body of a stray dog ​​riddled with bullet holes.

Although the Moroccan government denies plans to kill stray dogs on a large scale and says it has invested a lot of money in animal control centers, animal protection groups believe this is just superficial. They point out that even some dogs that have been tagged and vaccinated are still being killed.

Currently, the Moroccan government is facing tremendous international pressure to adopt a more humane approach to managing the stray dog ​​problem. However, as more and more brutal images were exposed, the international community's anger continued to escalate.
