Global Day of Action for Morocco's Dogs

Join the Animal Defenders Office and Animal Liberation ACT as they unite with animal welfare organisations around the world for global protests on Tuesday 17 November 2026 to raise awareness of the plight of Morocco’s dogs. Campaigners warn that up to three million dogs could be killed ahead of the soccer World Cup in 2030, which Morocco will co-host with Spain and Portugal. The coordinated protests will demand that Morocco replaces its violent lethal operations with a nationwide humane and non-lethal dog management programme. In Australia we will be holding a government-approved peaceful rally outside the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco at 9 Terrigal Crescent O’Malley in Canberra at 12pm. Please join us! We are participating in the global protests because the suffering of Morocco’s dogs for the World Cup demands an international response. We also stand alongside the people in Morocco working to protect these animals. Their compassion deserves support and their calls for change deserve to be heard. Campaigners will call on Moroccan diplomatic representatives to convey their concerns to the Moroccan government and press for an immediate end to the killing. The global day or action is organised by IAWPC, the International Animal Coalition. For more: https://iawpc.org/morocco-dog-campaign/
