@FerrigniManuela@tws_pk2@domdyer70 People gatekeep sadly, especially big brands. We are losing 4 million dogs in Turkey in dreadful circumstances. Same in Pakistan, India, Morocco. How anyone can look the other way is beyond me. If I can even save the life of one dog or help one rescuer I will not hesitate.
Every 9 minutes someone dies from rabies.
But rabies is 100% preventable.
We already have the tools. We know that vaccinating dogs stop the disease as its source 💉
Now we just need people behind us to make this possible.

Shocking images of lifeless dogs strewn across the streets have sparked global outrage as animal rights groups accuse Morocco of carrying out mass killings of strays ahead of the 2030 World Cup.
The North African nation was confirmed in 2023 as a co-host of the tournament alongside Spain and Portugal, but activists claim preparations for the global event have coincided with a brutal crackdown on the country's millions of stray dogs.
Local rescuers alleged some animals have been systematically poisoned and left to die in broad daylight, with disturbing scenes emerging from several cities in recent weeks.
The International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition (IAWPC) told the Daily Mail that one recent 'slaughter' took place on May 9, when members of the Al-Huda Association for Biodiversity and Cat Care said dog catchers poisoned animals in the city of Salé - a hub for the upcoming soccer games.
According to the group, many of the dogs were not strays in the traditional sense, but sterilized and vaccinated animals identified by official 'TNR' ear markings and backed by veterinary records. TNR is short for Trap, Neuter and Return.
'What happened is a moral and legal crime against animals, indicating a serious lack of accountability,' the organization said, according to the IAWPC.
Morocco has recently expanded programs aimed at sterilizing, vaccinating and releasing stray dogs to manage the country's large canine population.
However, campaigners claim the official strategy is being overshadowed by widespread killings taking place behind the scenes.

Stray dogs poisoned and left for dead in Moroccan streets ahead of 2030 World Cup
Bodies of lifeless dogs have been found dumped across public spaces in cities including Salé, Marrakech and Agadir in recent weeks.
On 9 May in Salé, animal rescuers filmed dog catchers allegedly poisoning animals in broad daylight before abandoning the carcasses in the streets.
Many of the victims were not wild strays but sterilised and vaccinated dogs bearing clear ear tags from Morocco’s official Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) programme launched in 2019.
Animal welfare groups say between 60 and 70 dogs are being disposed of every other day in some cities as part of an alleged cull to make urban areas look cleaner for the tournament.
Morocco has an estimated three million stray dogs and will co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal.
The International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition has condemned the killings as “a moral and legal crime against animals” and accused authorities of unravelling their own humane management promises.
Morocco’s Embassy in London has strongly denied any cull is taking place, insisting the country is committed to expanding veterinary clinics and sustainable dog management.
FIFA says it is actively monitoring the situation after being contacted by campaigners and that Morocco made animal welfare commitments during the bidding process.
The disturbing images have sparked global outrage with campaigners warning the visible poisoning contradicts the country’s public commitments.
Many are now calling a boycott for the world cup

🏟️🐕💔 Le Maroc s'apprête à éliminer 3 millions de chiens errants pour "nettoyer" les rues avant la CDM 2030.
Exigeons que la FIFA fasse respecter ses engagements éthiques et demande l'arrêt immédiat de ces massacres ✊

Football is not worth a SINGLE dogs life. Heartbreaking footage captured dogs being rounded up and tossed into vans for alleged mass killings in Morocco as the country prepares for the 2030 World Cup. 💔

Hopefully he’ll be made to ‘pay for it’ with a CUSTODIAL sentence!! 😡
The scumbag who hurled a rock at Lani, the endangered monk seal in Maui, is 37-year-old Igor Lytvynchuk from Seattle.
When confronted by onlookers the sicko replied: “I don't care, I'm rich, fine me. I can pay for it.”
He has since been detained, but has yet to be charged as the case has been referred to federal investigators. He must be held accountable.
Anyone who would assault and harm an endangered animal like Lani is a danger to the entire planet and belongs behind bars.
As for Lani, she is ok! A marine biologist went to check on her and it appears she is going to make a full recovery.
Is this what football fans really want? ⚽ 🐒
Wild animals in chains, dressed in the shirts of their favourite players, being exploited for profit?
We don’t think so - and that’s why we’re asking the authorities in Marrakesh to put an end to the suffering of macaques, before the FIFA World Cup arrives in Morocco in 2030.
The more people who speak up about how cruel and unwanted this treatment of wild animals is, the more likely we can make a change. So please, use our simple online template to write a letter to the Mayor of Marrakesh, asking her to put an end to this once and for all.

El mundo guarda silencio ante la horrible masacre de perros en Marruecos. El rey ordenó la eliminación de todos los perros antes del Mundial de 2030 (3 millones de perros callejeros).
Métodos:
- Dispararles en las calles
- Envenenarlos
- Quemarlos vivo
- Ahogárlos en jaulas
