Morocco culls dogs for FIFA 2030.

In preparation for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which Morocco will co-host with Spain and Portugal, the Moroccan government has launched a horrific campaign to cull up to three million stray dogs.

This involves:

  • Poisoning: Dogs are poisoned with strychnine, either by direct injection or through contaminated food.
  • Mass Shootings: Government-mandated gunmen patrol day and night, shooting dogs indiscriminately. Many suffer slow, agonizing deaths, and their bodies are often left to decompose.
  • Barbaric Traps: Dogs are trapped in cruel clamps and thrown into trucks, destined for “fake dispensaries” where they are burned alive in incinerators or dumped in mass graves. Many are not dead when buried.

This violence is occurring in public, witnessed by children, citizens, and tourists. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child has expressed concern about the harmful effects of children being exposed to such violence. On September 18th, 2023, they issued General Comment 26, stating: “Children must be protected from all forms of physical and psychological violence and from exposure to violence, such as domestic violence and violence inflicted on animals.”

FIFA must be aware of this cruelty and and cannot remain silent!

OIPA is calling on FIFA to publicly condemn Morocco’s actions, investigate and demand an end to the dog killings threatening to withdraw Morocco’s co-hosting rights for the World Cup. (Read our letter : 2030 FIFA World Cup_OIPA Appeal January 2025)

Urgent: Stop the Killing of Stray Animals in Kajjansi, Uganda!

Stop killing strays in Kajjansi. A Call to Action to Prevent the Inhumane Slaughter of Stray Animals

The Kajjansi Town Council in Uganda has made a heart-wrenching decision to kill stray dogs and cats in the wards of of Bulwanyi, Nankonge, Nsangu, Nkungulutale, Sissa, Kitende, and Nakawuka on November 21st, 2024. This cruel and outdated practice is not only inhumane but also ineffective in managing the stray animal population.

As an international animal protection organization, we have written a letter to the Kajjansi Town Council ( Letter to Kajjansi Town Council ) urging them to reconsider this decision and adopt a more humane and sustainable approach, such as Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR). TNVR involves capturing stray animals, sterilizing them, vaccinating them against rabies, and then returning them to their original location. TNVR has proven to be highly effective in reducing stray animal populations while also improving their overall health and well-being.

We urge the Kajjansi Town Council to reconsider this inhumane decision and adopt TNVR instead.

How You Can Help:

  1. Send a Letter: Through the form below, you will send a letter to the Kajjansi Town Council expressing your deep concern for what is happening and advocating for TNVR and animal protection.
  2. Share on Social Media: Spread awareness by sharing this article and using the hashtags #StopTheKilling, #TNVR, #AnimalWelfare, #Kajjansi, and #Uganda and any other hashtag or tag you have in mind that can be effective.

Together, we can make a difference and prevent this senseless killing.
Let’s show compassion and work towards a more humane future for all animals.

TURKISH GOVERNMENT VOTES THE LAW TO ALLOW THE KILLING OF STRAY ANIMALS https://www.oipainternational.org/turkey-votes-the-law-to-kill-strays/ Thu, 23 May 2024 13:00:26 +0000 https://www.oipainternational.org/?p=21705 L'articolo TURKISH GOVERNMENT VOTES THE LAW TO ALLOW THE KILLING OF STRAY ANIMALS proviene da OIPA.

Turkey votes the law to kill stray animals

On July, 30 2024, the Turkish Parliament (Turkish Grand National Assembly) has approved the new law – renamed as “Massacre Law” by animal right adovcates – aimed at removing millions of stray dogs and cats from Turkey’s streets. As per amendments approved on July 24, stray animals will be collected from the streets ending up in neglected and overcrowded municipal shelters for being euthanized if they are not adopoted.

The law states that dogs who are sick, those who have diseases that can be transmitted to any other animal (paragraph concerning diseases transmitted to other animals is however not clear, as it may be any disease, even those that can be easily treated like flu), dogs belonging to prohibited breeds, such as pitbulls and dogo argentinos, and dogs considered dangerous to human or environmental health will be euthanised immediately.

The government estimates that around 4 million stray dogs roam in Turkey. However, since there are not enough places in the shelters — there are currently 322 animal shelters (only 298 out of 1,403 municipalities) with a capacity for 105,000 dogs, according to the bill — it is very luckily that stray animals will be killed.

Municipalities will be given time until 2028 to build new shelters and improve current facilities, spending at least 0.3% of their annual budget on animal rehabilitation services and building shelters – the law says – but we all know that euthanasia and imprisonment are not the solution for handling properly dog and cat population.

“We were deeply saddened to learn about the Turkish Government’s decision to enacting a new law that would result in the “euthanasia” of thousands of stray animals within the country. Turkey will be another nation on the “black list” for implementing inhumane dog population control methods, instead of allocating resources towards ethical alternatives that are proven to benefit both animals and communities in the long run. In 2024, we possess enough means to address the problem of stray animal overpopulation without harming or killing any creatures. It’s time to change, it’s time to respect animals and respect citizens who want them to be protected!”

OIPA condemns the decision of the Turkish Parliament to pass this terrific law despite the massive international pressure to put a halt to.

In addition to the letter that OIPA sent to the Turkish Government, the protest email that we asked people to sign on the form below, the protest in Ankara that we took part in last June, we also co-signed with over 100 NGOs a letter that the Animal Save Movement submitted to the Turkish Parliament.

Following this news, the President of our member association in Ankara Bir Pati De Sen Tut declares: “We have more than 100 dogs and 50 cats in our feeding spots. Now, we are looking for options about what we can do to save them. I don’t have strength. We have a small private shelter, which is at its full capacity because we are overwhelmed of unadopted animals! We will now try to understand how many new sectors we can build, but we do not have enough resources. I am so sad, disappointed, angry. Everything is meaningless now. What about the animals we cannot reach and help? This is horrific!”

Animals in Turkey need help urgently.
Associations and animal rescuers are looking for international support to:

> Rehome street animals or animals in shelters
> Collect donations to secure animals in boarding facilities
> Find Foster families abroad  to make overseas adoptions easier
> and any other help would be much appreciated.

“Please, don’t leave our strays alone!”

27, January 2025 – OIPA sent a letter to the Constitutional Court of Türkiye urging the Court to intervene for the annulment of Law No. 5199 on the Protection of Animals and its Implementation Regulation. Read our letter (Letter to the Constitutional Court of Türkiye_OIPA_27 Janaury 2025)

Turkey's proposed law threatens the lives of millions of stray animals

MASS KILLING HAS STARTED

Given the well-known poor condition of current shelters in Turkey, this law would lead to mass slaughters.  Niğde and Altındağ municipalities have already begun mass slaughter, as revealed by footage from these regions. A large mass grave has been found in the shelter grounds belonging to the Niğde Municipality, one of the municipalities claiming to be implementing the law introduced under the pretext of “aggressive dogs,” or that the dogs have died of “natural causes, car accidents, or illnesses.” The dead body of a three-legged dog, who had just given birth and was cared for and loved by volunteers in the area, was among the bodies in the shelter owned by Niğde province. As the dogs were covered in blood, veterinarians believe that they did not die of natural causes or were killed through “euthanasia” with a lethal injection as it is claimed, but that they were slaughtered in different ways.

Right after Niğde, another mass grave was found on the grounds of a shelter belonging to the Altındağ district of Ankara, the capital of Turkey. This mass grave revealed dog corpses buried in rather poor condition or thrown away in bags. Since the bodies of the animals were deformed and covered in blood, clearly these dogs did not die of “natural causes” either. The animal bodies are recovered from the ground and taken by the authorities for examination. Ankara Bar Association Animal Rights Centre lawyers, who have been following the case, stated that veterinarians have reached a preliminary conclusion that the animals were killed with a poisonous substance. In light of the knowledge and experience gained from previous mass killings in Turkey, it is believed that these poisonous substances were chemicals such as bleach or insecticides. As a matter of fact, the municipalities are trying to carry out the killings in the cheapest ways possible.

PREVIOUS FACTS

July, 17 2024 – The draft bill proposed by the AK Party regarding the “euthanasia” of stray animals was discussed in the Turkish Commission. A second discussion has been scheduled on the agenda in the next few days. If the bill passes, it will be finally voted by the Turkish Parliament.

Premise – The Justice and Development Party (AKP) of Turkey has put forth a draft bill that would permit the capture and euthanasia of stray animals across the nation. This distressing development follows the resurgence of the issue of dog over population, prompting President Erdoğan to take urgent action.

The proposed law mandates that municipalities collect strays and confined them to shelters that many time turn to be horrific death centers. Dogs not adopted within 30 days will be euthanized as well as healthy dogs, spayed/neutered dogs, non-aggressive dogs, not to talk about sick dogs and  banned breeds .

This proposal is based on the incorrect and unproven idea that spaying and neutering methods are ineffective, justifying in this way a massacre of innocent beings. Instead of investing in sustainable and ethical approaches, municipalities are opting for a cruel and inhumane solution. The proposed law also highlights the failure of many municipalities to meet the requirement to create shelters, as outlined in the revised Animal Rights Law of 2021.

OIPA JOINED TO THE PROTEST IN ANKARA

May, 2 2024 – OIPA joined the protest in Ankara against the Government’s plan to kill stray dogs. Thousands of people joint the protest organized on May, 2 in Istanbul against the unsane decision of the Turkish government to pass a law that will enable municipalities to capture stray dogs and put them down if they are not adopted within 30 days.
People marched yelling “No to the massacre!” bringing protest signs to express their disappointment.
OIPA was there to stand for animals in Turkey and defend their right to life!
The President of our member association Bir Pati De Sen Tut declared: “It was the most crowded protest I have ever seen. Today not only rescuers, volunteers, associations were there to protest, but also citizens, children, and families who were not actively involved in animal rescue activities. Probably, they will not hear us but at least they saw how many we are!”.

Do we have to shave our dog in summer time?

Humans and dogs have a different way to control the body temperature. We use perspiration, they use respiration.

Dogs don’t have sweat glands like us, except for some on their fingertips.

When is really hot they intensifie their respiration in order to cool down the blood heat, breathing with mouth and nose.

The fur is useful to protect them from cold but also from hot weather in summer times.

Is absolutely useless and not recommended shave our dogs.

Doing it we stress the animal and there is the risk to expose the skin excessively to sunlight.

There are only two possible reasons why we should shave our dog. To protect him from extraneous matters such as spikes. Or for a better treatment of cutaneous diseases.

Is at least one litter suggested for Female dogs?

To experiece our female dog’s pregnancy might be nice for owners. But contrary to our beliefs is absolutley not necessary.

how-long-are-dogs-pregnant-mother-dog-with-several-puppies-1600x1200First of all the desire of maternity is essentially a human matter. Dogs come to maternal instinct after theire puppie’s birth.

A female dog can’t get depressed without a birth experience.

Furthermore pregnancy is not useful to protect them from uterine cancer.

It has been showed that more than one pregnancy (not just one) might reduce neoplasm to the reproductive system. But could be stressful or, worse, not be successful. Often they have to do a caesarean section wich can be dangerous for the mather and puppies.

We have to consider that what makes us happy might not be good for our dogs.

So just one pregnancy or none doesn’t make any difference for the dog’s health.

There is also an important ethical reason to avoid a pregnancy for the dog.

There are too many dogs in kennels some times waiting an entire life to be adopted. It is surely better to free them and give them a real family.

Appropriate food for dogs

Is not easy to talk about nutrition in a word, it would be more appropriate to read an entire essay about it.

Anyway when we decide to adopt a dog we should be aware of its differences with our gastrointestinal trac.

Its nutritional requirement is also different.

In nature dogs eat preys (which include also fur), bones, blood. But also fruit and grass.

Is really important to consult a vet and to consider the age and possible dog’s diseases.

If we can’t make fresch food we can buy some really good industrial products both dry and wet.

But if we feel like cooking and the dog has no health problems we can cook for it, preferably raw food, considering its nutritional requirements.

It is very important to take the necessary information in order not to damage its health.

Time will help us to know what kind of food might cause intollerances or upset our dog.

Do we have to wash our dog monthly?

Dog have sebaceous glands which secrete sebum, a greacy product that give softness to its fur. But unfortunately typify the classic dog’s smell.

Some dog owners discover that the more they wash their dog the more they smell.

lav_03_672-458_resize-bcc8212b0516009ba04bb84f54b0c3a0199-1600x1200That is because this action stimulates sebaceous glands to produce more sebum and consequently intensifies the smell.

So, how many times do we have to bath our dog in order not to upset his natural protection?

The less is better. Maximum once a month.

Obviously we can make some exception. For example if the dog loves to play in the mud or dirt.

It might happen that the dog needs therapeutic baths (even every five or seven days) in case of cutaneous pathologies.

As always even considering this matter is not possible to generalize. As human beings, as well every dog has its needs and personal history.

It is important to consult the vet.

The newborn delegation OIPA China, leaded by Mr. Simon Kwok in Hong Kong, is trying to tackle the straydog issue in the country with an innovative project which aims to take care of the animals building shelters in the schools.

cinaThe project aims at providing solution for the international strays issue through the development of good quality dog shelters and adoption in schools. Schools would be the best place as shelter for strays, as it provides safety and care.  In the process, students could learn how to care and respect animals.  It would develop to be the culture of schools.  Every year, international stray ambassadors will be selected.  New generation leaders of animal welfare will assist to promote the awareness of the needs of strays in the community in different countries.

OIPA is going to launch this project in China and other Asian countries, including Korea, Vietnam and Indonesia, which have serious problem on dog meat consumption. We hope the project can spread all over the world.

cina_8A similar shelter was created in China in Tianjin Normal University in December 2015. The little shelter has been built in the garden of the University and the project started because the university has occurred strays biting students incidents. The head of the security department did not think it was a good idea just to kill the strays, so he initiated to setup the shelter.  He thought it can build up a better culture in the university.
Until now, it has accommodated over 50 dogs and most were adopted by students.
More and more student volunteers will assist the guards to clean the shelters, bathe the dogs and bring food for the dogs. Male and female dogs are separated. A stray organization provides vaccinations, spay and neuter. Students are not allowed to adopt the dog to keep it in the dormitory, but only in their home.

*pictures from Tianjin Normal University Shelter

cina_7

OIPA would like to launch this project and start from an educational place as schools to promote a culture of broad animal respect and proper dog managing. In the project the local Chinese population will be engaged and the animals will have a better chance to be adopted. Furthermore, the project involves the young citizens (students) which means that future generations may be much more sensitive to the stray issue and may have a better knowledge of dog managing.

After years of campaigning and petitions the situation of dogs in China has not changed much, therefore we believe that acting at the local level and involving the Chinese population is essential to reach good results on the long run.

The first province interested in the project will be Guangdong, where OIPA will start building the first shelters.

A shepherd tied his dog with a rope to his car and dragged him for over a kilometer to “teach him a lesson”, as he preferred to play with other dogs in the field instead of listening to his calls. This is what happened near Amatrice, one of the sites of the recent earthquake in Italy.

The Police Officers and the Civil Protection and local police of Milan, noticed the terrible scene and the trace of blood left on the ground and chased the man by car. The man attempted to escape, even accellerating, but the police forced him to stop.

The OIPA volunteers, already in the area for other controls, called by the authorities, immediately contacted a veterinarian who visited the animal. The young shepherd dog was clearly scared, with damaged and bleeding paws, and with high body temperature. He was struggling to breathe and it was necessary to heat him with a thermal blanket.

The man, a well-known shepherd in the area, doesn’t shown regret for the torture, reporting that he had already done much worse to other animals in his farm. For this reason, in addition to the criminal complaint for animal abuse, he will be subjected to further checks by the Police. The dog was legal custody awarded to the OIPA person in charge, Enrico Piacenza, and he was temporarily transferred to the health kennel of Rieti. In the coming days he will be moved to a private hosting.

“We’re already facing dramatic moments in this region, and it’s terrible to see such cruel acts of violence against a helpless animal – commented Enrico Piacenza, OIPA Piemonte Eco-Zoophilous Guards coordinator and legal guardian of the dog. We thanks the police and the Civil Protection that, despite the earthquake emergencies, rushed and cooperated in order to punish the responsible”.

Violence against animals, that unfortunately still occur nowadays, is particularly regrettable in areas already affected by a tragedy, as the earthquake that struck the central regions of Italy and that has destroyed dozens of human and animal lives.

Snoopy was rescued in July by OIPA Eco-Zoophilous Guards in Niscemi, a little village in Sicily. Spotted in a state of decay, this little dog was hanging around with his back broken in two. Attacked by other dogs, Snoopy could not defend himself: he reported not only numerous bite wounds on the body, but also a serious displaced fracture of the spine.

He was carried to the veterinary clinic, where tests have shown that the reported injuries would not allow him to move over the lower limbs.

Despite this bad news, Snoopy has faced the pain and the treatments with great courage: he has been at rest for a month to allow the healing process of the fracture of the spine. In addition he was treated for Leishmania. That’s the reason why the little dog has some patches on the mantle and also he has to take the specific food in order not to burden the kidneys.

Today, thanks to your precious donations, Snoopy is significantly better. He is playful and lively, he has regained his weight and even his hair has grown all over the body. The treatment for leishmania will end in ten days, instead the trolley that will help him to walk will have to wait a bit of time unitl his back will be completely healed.

The best news is that the little Snoopy has found a wonderful family that will welcome him when he will be ready to go.

UPDATES! THANKS TO YOUR DONATIONS RENATO IS HEALTHY AND HAPPY NOW!

The wounds on his body are healing and the vet decided that the surgery wasn’t necessary on his paw. Now Renato is following a special diet to strenghten his paws. 

Renato now is eating well and he looks exactly like a normal puppy and keeps playing around with his toy. 

Thank you for your donations and support, with your help OIPA volunteers helped Renato to recover.

________________________________________________________

Renato was suppose to be the sheepdog in the farm of his owner, but unfortunately for him he was not good enough and for this reason he has been abandoned with no shelter, no food and no water. Such a cruel destiny for a 4 months puppy!

When OIPA Volunteers found him in Siracusa (SICILY), he was very scared, weak, with many wounds all over the body and he was laying on the sheep’s feces. His wounds were infected with worms.

After receiving the first treatments, Renato has been cleaned and more vet exams were done. He has a severe injury in the frontpaw, which has damaged the tendon, too. If the rehabilitation won’t be succesful, it will be necessary a reconstructive surgery.

20160622_185245 [1600x1200]

DON’T BE SAD RENATO, WE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!

The words of the mayor of Sangineto (Italy), Michele Guardia, creak when he comments the sadistic and inhuman killing of a stray dog by four young boys in the country’s countryside, paying more attention on the “disbelief for what happened” and on the “repentance and social recovery of these young boys”, rather on taking a strong stance in the name of all Municipality, to assure that the punishment imposed is the maximum expected for the animal killing offense.

OIPA, as well as activates with a civil action, while awaiting the beginning of the criminal proceeding as a result of the Sangineto’s Carabineers’ complaint, presented a formal request letter to Sangineto’s Municipality, so that it will take part in the civil action and considers the link, already widely proved through different scientific studies, between the violence against animals and violence against persons.

The case at issue presents a series of aggravating circumstances which do not let to wind up everything, hoping in the repentance of the responsibles. The murder happens with a particular cruelty and sadism, against a defenceless living being and by young boys which have shown extreme pride of their act, to the point of filming and publishing it online, an evidence that there was no regret nor perception of the evil and pain caused to the dog and to all community.

OIPA and many other national and local associations of animal protection give life to a massive movement of protest which will foresee, along with online initiatives, a local day event that will give voice to the outrage and the pain of all those who do not only care about animal rights, but at the same time ask for an exemplary punishment for the torture and the death of Angelo, as the dog has been renamed, and for the insult the public sensitiveness suffered.
