The IAWPC has delivered a blistering address in UK Parliament, and revealed a major breakthrough in talks with FIFA.

Animal welfare campaigners have accused the Moroccan authorities of deploying a “dangerous propaganda strategy” to justify a fresh wave of dog killings across cities preparing to host the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which kicks off on 21 December.

This Tuesday, we will be in London for our largest demonstration so far, standing shoulder to shoulder with supporters from around the world ahead of speeches in UK Parliament from our lead campaigner Debbie Wilson, and renowned Moroccan actress and animal advocate Ouidad Elma.

If you share our disgust we would be grateful if you could help by taking from the suggested text below (or your own version) and writing to Fifa.

Les Ward MBE, 74, from Edinburgh, says he is “bursting with pride” after Scotland booked their place at the World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico.
But the veteran campaigner, who received his MBE for services to animal welfare from the late Queen, says the joy and image of the beautiful game is being overshadowed by a brutal crisis unfolding thousands of miles away, in preparation for another FIFA World Cup tournament in 2030.

FIFA has confirmed that, in partnership with the International Animal Welfare Protection Coalition (IAWPC), it has helped with the submission of a revised version of Morocco’s Draft Law 19.25 to the Moroccan government for consideration, a key step in efforts to stop the mass authority killing of free roaming dogs ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

A hard-hitting protest took place outside the World Travel Market at London’s ExCeL Centre yesterday, as campaigners from the International Animal Welfare Protection Coalition (IAWPC) joined forces with member charity PETA to expose the mass killing of dogs in Morocco ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

This law sets forth the rules for humane dog and cat care and management.
