We call on FIFA to immediately revoke Morocco’s co-host status for the 2030 World Cup in response to reports of a horrific plan to cull up to 3 million stray dogs ahead of the tournament. This mass slaughter is not only a disgrace to the values of sportsmanship and humanity but also a clear violation of international animal welfare standards.

Morocco's intention to eradicate stray dogs is not an acceptable solution to the challenges they may face as hosts of such a global event. This approach undermines the core values that FIFA promotes, including respect for human and animal rights. Instead of resorting to mass killings, we urge Moroccan authorities to consider more ethical and humane solutions, such as implementing large-scale sterilization and vaccination programs that have been successful in other countries.

The looming massacre not only tarnishes Morocco’s image on the world stage but also sets a dangerous precedent for the treatment of animals. It reflects poorly on FIFA’s choice when choosing host nations, questioning the ethical due diligence undertaken in these processes.

Globally, numerous organizations and animal welfare experts have demonstrated that humane management of stray animal populations is achievable. Morocco should draw on these experiences to implement programs that align with the values of compassion and respect.

FIFA has a responsibility to ensure that the World Cup is associated with humane and ethical practices that reflect the sport's spirit. By allowing Morocco to proceed with such inhumane measures, FIFA risks severely damaging its reputation and may face backlash from football lovers and animal rights activists worldwide.

We urge FIFA to act decisively and send a strong message that the world of football will not stand by as millions of innocent animals are slaughtered. Time is of the essence; immediate action must be taken to prevent this tragedy and to protect the image of the game we love.

Please sign this petition to demand that FIFA revoke Morocco's hosting privileges until they confirm a commitment to humane treatment and management of stray animals.
