As the world prepares for the 2026 World Cup and looks ahead to 2030, a disturbing reality is unfolding behind the scenes. Across Morocco, reports continue to surface of stray dogs being poisoned and shot — killed in the name of "cleaning up" cities before the global spotlight arrives. Animal welfare advocates on the ground have been sounding the alarm for over a year. Despite public denials, the killings have not stopped. Videos and firsthand accounts paint a heartbreaking picture of vulnerable animals being eliminated instead of protected.
Sign the petition to demand that FIFA intervene immediately and stop the killing of dogs tied to World Cup preparations.
This is not only cruel, it's ineffective. Mass culling does nothing to solve the root issue. It creates a cycle of suffering while failing to control stray populations long-term. Humane, proven solutions already exist.
Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (CNVR) programs have been successfully implemented around the world, reducing stray populations while protecting both animals and communities.
As the governing body of the World Cup, FIFA sets the standards for host nations. It cannot turn a blind eye while animals are killed in preparation for one of the world's most celebrated events.
Sign the petition now to demand that FIFA publicly investigate these reports, halt inhumane practices, and require humane animal welfare policies like CNVR for all host countries.
