The International Animal Coalition

We’re joined by Les Ward and Debbie Wilson from the International Animal Coalition discussing  the breach of animal welfare in Morocco all in the name of football!  Les and Debbie explain why campaigners are calling on FIFA to strip Morocco of its World Cup bid after grisly footage has emerged showing the inhumane public slaughter of street dogs in preparation for the event. Dogs can be seen screaming and in pain in the harrowing footage, which shows the 'cleansing' efforts being carried out to support the World Cup bid.  This announcement due on December 11th as to whether Morocco’s bid is accepted is a critical point to ending the planned but  needless torture and slaughter of millions of street dogs. Despite the fact that the  majority of dogs are ‘community' dogs that are vaccinated, neutered and chipped, and looked after by the community, they are being barbarically killed, shamelessly in public in front of children causing Amnesty International to also speak out.  The worry is that even if Morocco does not get the bid to stage the 2030 World Cup tournament, the slaying of dogs will continue.
