Morocco presents itself as one of the most attractive destinations in the world, yet the country and its cities hide a brutal and ugly secret.
Individuals acting on behalf of the government tour the streets shooting dogs, a practice condemned in most other countries of the world. Wounding is a major consequence which inevitably causes considerable pain, suffering and a lingering death.
Likewise, individuals tour the streets, either using a ‘stick’ type implement with a syringe containing poison on the end to stab unsuspecting dogs in the body, or by feeding them poisoned bait. The poisoning of dogs causes an extremely cruel and prolonged death, with many seen helplessly and pitifully staggering about, falling as they try to get up again.
Dogs are also being caught with ‘tong-like’ implements, which have a painful and debilitating effect, before being flung into vehicles with other terrified animals, where they are then taken to facilities to be inhumanely killed.
Despite calls for tourist and sporting boycotts by some groups, and offers of humane help by others, the Moroccan Government shows no remorse.
With the strength and experience of the members which form this coalition, the IAWPC will continue to fight until meaningful changes are implemented for dogs in Morocco. We will not give up.
We call on citizens from all nations of the world to sign this petition and make it clear to the Government of Morocco - ‘NO MORE – STOP THE VIOLENCE, THE ABUSE AND CRUELTY’!!
