As Morocco prepares to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, there have been reports of mass culling of
stray dogs in an effort to “clean the streets” before the tournament. A collective of ten animal rights
organizations, including Eurogroup For Animals and Four Paws, has written to FIFA, urging the
organization to take a stand against this horrific slaughter. Morocco had previously committed to a
humane dog population management strategy through a ‘Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Release’ (TNVR)
program, yet reports suggest that authorities are instead resorting to killing stray dogs in violation of
their own policies and with wanton cruelty.
The Moroccan government has justified these actions under the pretext of controlling rabies, a fatal
disease transmitted through bites. This contradicts the scientific evidence and the government’s
prior commitment to sustainable measures such as TVNR, which are proven to be more effective as
well as being humane. The open letter from animal rights groups calls on FIFA to use its influence to
hold Morocco accountable for its commitments and ensure that dog population management is
ethical, upholds previous commitments and does not sacrifice animal lives.
The situation raises urgent ethical questions about humanity’s treatment of animals that do not
serve our self-interested purposes. Stray dogs, often dismissed as nuisances, are living beings
deserving of dignity and compassion. Their existence in our cities is not their fault but rather a
consequence of human neglect and mismanagement. To kill them for the sake of a sporting event
reflects a disturbing willingness to sacrifice lives for aesthetics and convenience. As a global
institution with immense influence, FIFA has a responsibility to take a stand against cruelty and
support humane solutions.
With five years to go before the tournament, Morocco has the opportunity to stick to ethical and
sustainable measures to care for their stray dog population rather than wantonly killing them. FIFA
must use its platform to pressure the government from preventing a catastrophic mass killing,
ensuring that the World Cup is not tainted by the horrific suffering of animals that are discarded as if
their lives had no meaning. The world is watching, and now is the time to demand a humane
approach that values animal lives as equally.
The Moroccan dog “genocide” must be stopped. Sign the petition to tell FIFA that they must us their

On December 2, 2025, Mexico made a historic leap forward for animal rights by amending its
Constitution to include protections for nonhuman animals. This reform is the first of its kind in the
nation. While many countries have animal protection laws, few have elevated the protection of
animals to constitutional status, and even fewer have extended this to cover all species, including
farmed animals. Mexico’s new constitutional changes mark a groundbreaking shift towards treating
animals as beings deserving of legal recognition and rights, regardless of their species.
In most countries, animal welfare laws are selective, often prioritizing companion animals over those
in agricultural industries. In the United States, for example, farmed animals are often excluded from
protections that apply to pets or wildlife. Mexico’s reforms aim to change that by ensuring all
animals, from farmed animals to those kept as pets, are entitled to legal protection. This
approach could set an example for other nations, particularly in Latin America, where animal rights
movements are gaining momentum. However, with Mexico being one of the world’s top producers
of meat and animal products, it is highly probably that economic interests will hinder the
implementation of these reforms. Agricultural lobbyists could easily push back against these laws to try to
protect profits.
One particularly important aspect of the reforms that could have a positive impact on the future is
education. The changes require the inclusion of animal welfare education in Mexican schools. In the
best-case scenario this could influence a new generation that values and understands animal rights.
It could be the first step in changing cultural attitudes towards animals on a larger scale. While the
specific details of this educational shift have yet to be defined, the hope is that it will lead to a
transformation in how Mexican society views and treats animals in the future.
The constitutional amendment represents a step forward in recognizing animals as sentient beings
with rights, but the true test will be in the details. It is unlikely that Mexico will go far enough in
creating strong, enforceable laws that truly afford equal protection to animals. On the other hand,
this victory sends a message about the direction society is capable of going if social imagination can
conceive of animals as equal beings to humans. There are many self-interested forces at work trying
to convince humans that it is too difficult to value animals in parity to ourselves, that there are too
many problems or steps to be taken, and true equality for animals is not possible. Legislation at a
constitutional level proves that changes can be far-reaching and can affect all animals.
At Freedom 4 Animals, our work includes both education and advocacy. Both of these things
contribute to change, as people learn about our fellow inhabitants of this earth and how we can
elevate their status as beings worthy of equal consideration. Please read more about our work to
educate the public and fight for animal freedom.
Despite some positive progress in legislation, puppy mills are still a big source of cruelty and neglect,
a fact that is all too real for thousands of dogs across the United States. The ASPCA’s recent poll
revealed that the most important issue for supporters in 2025 is fighting for stronger legislation to
protect puppy mill victims. Large-scale commercial breeding operations continue to operate under
outdated and inadequate regulations. People are beginning to wake up to the fact that this cruelty is
still legally sanctioned, but we are a long way from liberating dogs from puppy mills.
Puppy mills are notorious for their appalling conditions, with many dogs confined to tiny, wire cages
barely large enough for them to turn around. These facilities, which are regulated by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA), often fail to meet even the most basic welfare standards. Female
dogs are bred relentlessly, producing litter after litter without adequate time for rest and recovery.
Even with laws on the books, these standards are rarely enforced, and commercial breeders that
neglect their animals continue to operate unchecked.
Even the lucky ones who are adopted and rescued from lives of forced breeding have stories of
trauma, their bodies ageing faster than is normal for a well-cared-for dog. Read about the story of
Gracie, a dog who was rescued after 6 years of breeding 100 puppies:

mills
There have been recent wins, including the passing of the New York Puppy Mill Pipeline Act in
December 2024. This New York legislation bans the sale of cruelly bred pets in retail stores. The
ASPCA report outlines a commitment to building on this momentum by pushing for similar
legislation in other states in 2025. The ASPCA also advocate for Goldie’s Act, a bill that would require
the USDA to enforce stronger oversight of federally licensed facilities, ensuring more frequent
inspections, intervention for animals in need, and better coordination with local law enforcement.
The road to eliminating puppy mills is long, but with continued advocacy, we can reduce the
suffering of countless animals. The fight is far from over, and it’s imperative that we keep working
together to ensure that no dog ever has to endure the horrors of a puppy mill again.

Greyhound racing is a cruel sport. Deaths, injuries and exhaustion are the norm. The animals’ natural
speed and abilities are harnessed in this nonconsensual sport that brings in millions for the industry
and sports fans, but ruins dogs’ lives. The sport is so hard on animals, that many US states and some countries have banned it . New Zealand is poised to be the latest country that bans greyhound racing. In Ireland, greyhound racing still receives 20 million every year in funding.
Every year, dogs die, grist to the mill. In 2024, the death toll of greyhounds at Irish race tracks
increased by 60%. 96 greyhounds were either euthanized or died of a racing injury on Ireland’s racing tracks between January and the end of June 2024 in Ireland. In previous years 60 animals were euthanized or died of a track-inflicted injury during the same time period. It’s an unacceptable amount of deaths in a “so-called sport” that is funded by taxpayer money.
It’s almost impossible to imagine a sport where humans frequently die or push themselves so hard
that they are too worn out to even retire after the sport. Of course we don’t euthanize humans
when they are no longer useful. And even the most demanding or dangerous human sports are
pursued voluntarily, whereas animals are engaged in sports without their consent.
A spokesperson for Greyhound Racing Ireland explained the deaths away as a result of an increase of
dogs being raced in the country. This only makes it clearer that greyhound racing is a sport that
sends dogs to their death.
Animal Welfare advocates have repeatedly criticized the Irish government’s funding of greyhound
racing. Greyhound racing receives more guaranteed funding than any other sport in Ireland. The
obvious conclusion from this is that greyhound racing is big business for the country: it’s easy money
for an industry that doesn’t have to pay its athletes or guarantee their welfare.
In even worse news for Irish greyhounds, Irish greyhounds are being exported to India to participate
in an incredibly cruel craze that involves racing greyhounds against motorbikes. This open animal
cruelty, known as “motorbike lure coursing” races dogs to exhaustion and exposes dogs to the
danger of being mangled in an accident.Just like humans, animals are capable of amazing physical feats. They enjoy testing their abilities, being competitive and playing with other animals. However unlike humans, they are forced to engage in sporting activities without their consent. Until we can communicate with animals to understand their needs and desires, involving them in sporting activities that are cruel
and punishing is not sport – it’s animal cruelty. At Freedom 4 Animals we believe that animal freedom demands that we consider animals as beings of equal significance, with equally valid needs, desires and agency. Read more about our educational programs and animal advocacy.

Peanut the Squirrel and Fred the Raccoon were two beloved rescue animals who were euthanized after a raid on their owners’ home by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC).
Who is responsible for their deaths? The party directly responsible is the NYSDEC who carried out the raid and the Chemung Health Department (CCHD) Environmental Health Services who ordered the animals euthanized to test for rabies. More generally however, there’s a need to reckon with our collective responsibility for the way human regulations can affect animals’ lives.
Peanut, (otherwise known as P’nut), was a baby squirrel rescued by Mark Longo after his mother was hit and killed by a car. Longo bottle fed and cared for the baby squirrel. Longo says he tried to release Peanut back into the wild but Peanut had become attached to his human carers and returned to their house with a damaged tail. After that, Peanut became a family member. Mark Longo later started an animal rescue shelter and adopted Fred the Raccoon, who was also a victim of the raid.
The raid was a response to complaints about Longo’s animal rescue center and his illegal ownership of P’nut and Fred. It is illegal in New York to keep wild animals as pets. Only licensed wildlife rehabilitators can rescue animals, and only wild animals registered as educational animals can be kept as pets. Mark Longo said he was in the process of filing the paperwork to apply for a wildlife rehabilitation license and to register Peanut and Fred as educational animals. He indicated that the process was slow and he needed more guidance from the DEC.
The paperwork involved in registering for these official designations is burdensome, and many wildlife lovers may not be informed about how to care for animals that they rescue from the wild.
Peanut and Fred were euthanized on the authority of the CCHD because of rabies concerns. Even though squirrels aren’t known for carrying rabies, Peanut’s proximity to Fred the raccoon (racoons are known to carry rabies) prompted the euthanization of both animals after Peanut bit through the gloves of someone carrying out the raid. Both animals were found to be free of rabies.
Animal and human interactions happen frequently. All animals are known to interact with each other in nature. Yet animals are in danger of being euthanized every time they take a perfectly logical step of seeking food from human property, or of allowing a human to take care of them when they are in need.
What started with the death of Peanut’s mother due to human causes (the car that hit her) ended with the death of Peanut because of human laws that are indifferent to animal needs and behaviors. In both cases, human standards and technology are imposed on animals and encroach in animal environments. Animals who get in the way become the victims.
There are many examples of animals taking care of other animals in the wild, particularly baby animals. When humans do the same there is little understanding for this process. There should be a protocol to help humans care for animals that are wounded or sick, or to raise babies who can no longer survive in the wild. Right now, the protocols have no room for understanding that animal-human interaction does happen naturally, and that animals should not suffer as a result.
Animals are frequently euthanized due to the threat of rabies. Their heads are cut off to examine their brains. Rabies is a deadly disease and animals are euthanized out of an excess of caution, but so often these tragic and violent deaths are a result of inadequate protocols and clumsy investigations surrounding animals that get close to humans. There is currently no ante mortem test for rabies for animals.
Like so many stories about animal deaths, the death of Peanut the squirrel and Fred the Raccoon is a story about human indifference to animals, and indifference to the roles they play in our lives. It is natural for humans to interact with animals. We are animals too, after all.
Animal control laws involve brutality and a lack of nuance. Just like with human first responders, animal first responders often react with violence. Instead of social workers humans get the police who arrive with guns. Instead of care and due process, animals are sent to their death just because they get close to humans.
Violence is a direct result of a lack of care for the individuals involved in the situation and the specifics of each person and each life, whether human or animal. The first response to animals who choose to live with humans should not be violence. There needs to be a slower more responsive process that cares for everyone involved.

A campaign is underway to get Congress to pass the SAFE Act, which has been stalled in congress since last year. Click on the link to sign the petition to stop horses being exported abroad for slaughter:
The US has banned the slaughter of horses at home. However, this ban means nothing while it’s still legal to transport horses thousands of miles to be slaughtered in the horsemeat trade, their last moments spent in the “kill box,” frightened and panicked before being chopped to bits. Wild horse slaughter in the U.S. was shut down in 2007 but the export industry still sends 20,000 horses every year to their deaths in Canada and Mexico. Not only this but the horses first endure long, gruelling journeys in cramped and cruel conditions before they are killed. According to a 2023 report from the American Journal of Veterinary Research, the horse export industry thrives and generates around $500 million a year,
With all the panic surrounding unverified claims that cats and dogs are being eaten in the United States, it’s a good time to draw attention to the plight of horses. The SAFE Act, or Save America’s Forgotten Equines Act (HR 3475/S 2037) is a bill that animal activists have been pushing to get passed for decades. In its current form the SAFE Act amends the 2018 Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act to add equines to the list of animals prohibited to be exported slaughter.
Polls show that 83% of Americans oppose horse slaughter. Yet thousands of horses each year face a horrible ending to their lives. The meat industry lobbies to protect the export of horse slaughter by claiming that if horses are not slaughtered, there will be more neglect and nowhere to rehome horses. Contrary to these claims, the export of horses has actually decreased over the years and shelters are ready to rehome horses, the majority of whom can live out happy and productive lives.
Horses are incredibly sensitive animals who need freedom of movement and family bonds with their fellow horses. Capturing them and transporting them for 24 hours to be killed is not only murder, it is prolonged torture.
As well as a petition there is also a website that makes it easy for you to write to your member of congress to pressure them to sponsor and pass the SAFE Act.
At Freedom 4 Animals, we have done extensive work to preserve the right of free-roaming horses to remain with their families and negotiate and advocate to protect horses from mistreatment, neglect and cruelty, as well as education and working with policy-makers and NGOs on legislation and initiatives to support and protect the freedom of horses.

South Dakota governor Kristi Noem has made headlines for boasting that she shot and killed her dog
in cold blood. Noem’s story was intended to paint her as a “no-nonsense” person who had no
problem doing what was necessary. In the same chapter, Noem also wrote about how she shot her
goat in cold blood. Public opinion shows that this has not worked out in her favor. The cold-blooded
killing of a companion animal who relied upon and trusted a human, apparently doesn’t look that
good to the public.
Dogs are human beings’ closest companions and our history has been symbiotic with them for
Millennia. Yet dogs are often the first victims of humans’ failure to take responsibility for this
relationship, as when dogs are euthanized if they attack another animal or a human, or appear to
pose a threat to property and safety. Poor training by human owners and misunderstanding of their dog companions instill trauma and aggressive behavior resulting in the dog’s misbehavior or failure to live up to human expectations.
In her autobiography, Kristi Noem shared how she shot a 14 month old wirehaired pointer named
Cricket who had come to her family with behavioral problems. Noem went as far as to say that she
“hated” the dog. She made no attempt to deal with her own feelings. Instead, her dog Cricket,
immediately became responsible for how she felt, justifying Noem’s execution of the dog. The story
was intended to convey that Noem was a tough person who understood life in rural America. Her
lack of remorse for the killing simply revealed that Noem didn’t care about the dog’s life.
Noem shot her dog Cricket after Cricket prematurely chased birds on a pheasant hunt, then jumped
out of Noem’s truck and mauled chickens on a neighbor’s property. Cricket was free to attack the
chickens, because Noem had failed to secure Cricket in the truck. Successful dog trainers and experts
agree that a dog’s behavior and conduct is the responsibility of the owner, and dogs who misbehave
can behave better with different interventions and understanding.
People who have dogs and other animals as companions have a responsibility to
their pets to act with empathy and patience. Neglect and cruelty affect a dog’s behavior as much as
they do humans. At 14 months old, Cricket was a young dog, a puppy, who deserved care and
guidance. Instead, her life was cut short by her care takers disregard for her life.
The backlash against Noem’s story shows that people will no longer accept a narrative that
blames animals for human issues. We must make a choice to extend our compassion to
other animals, beyond companion animals like cats and dogs. Cricket made headlines, but Noem also
shot her goat. No animal should have to take responsibility for an abusive human’s behavior by
paying the ultimate price.
The Miami-Dade commission has served eviction papers to the Dolphin Company, the owners of the Miami Seaquarium, after the company presided over severe neglect and poor conditions for animals in their care for many years. The Miami-Dade commission has ordered the Dolphin Company to vacate the premises by the 21st of April 2024. The commission’s letter cited violations of the lease agreement which included “not just a default, but a complete disregard for the safety of the animals housed on the premises.”
The history of the park is one of sadness, neglect, cruelty and enslavement for animals. The park’s history as an amenity for humans on the other hand, is one in which it enriched a private company and in the park’s earlier years was the third largest contributor to Miami-Dade County’s revenue through lease and tax payments.
The park is behind at least $180,000 in rent, which is one reason for the Miami-Dade commission’s decision. The decision was also motivated by the park’s numerous USDA violations and the loss of its Humane Society of America certification. Animal rights organizations have spoken out against the facility for years, in some cases managing to rescue animals, such as a pair of manatees, Romeo and Juliet. At least 120 dolphins and whales have died in captivity at the park. A dolphin named Sundance recently died shortly after a USDA inspection, where it was noted that the dolphin had “signs of gastric distress.” Federal inspections showed that the park’s infrastructure was deteriorating. A dolphin was found with a two-inch nail in its throat. Another dolphin was found with a broken metal bolt in its mouth.
One of the park’s major problems was that it couldn’t keep staff. Multiple staff resigned at the conditions of the park, and some alleged retaliation when they tried to speak up against the conditions. Due to money problems and difficulty retaining staff, the park didn’t have enough veterinarians to attend to the animals. The veterinary lab lacked basic tools and the animals were denied surgery, including a sea lion with eye pain, who stopped eating. One of the park’s animals, an Orca named Tokitae, gained recognition for all the wrong reasons, because the tank she was forced to live in was the nation’s smallest tank. Since coming to the world’s attention, Toki, also known as Lolita, has died.
Why did it take so long for the neglect to be put to an end? There is a bureaucratic process that has to happen to hold such facilities accountable. The park was known to be an unhealthy and cruel place for animals to live for decades. Attention wasn’t focused on the park soon enough because parks like these were for many years deemed to be acceptable entertainment and education for humans. The roles of animals at these parks, who are forced to perform for humans, and who are kept in restrictive conditions and separate from family members, were not questioned. It’s now time to question the rationale for keeping animals in these facilities. There may be some conservation reasons for keeping some species of animals captive, but even then, keeping animals in captivity, where they can be exploited, should be viewed with public skepticism and treated as a last resort.

The death of New York’s beloved owl Flaco was a tragic event that drew attention to the way in which a city-dwelling bird’s life can be tragically cut short. The cause of death? It seems that Flaco died after a collision with a building. Flaco’s death was also attributed to 4 kinds of rat poison that were found in his system. Additionally, he was also found to have a severe case of “pigeon herpesvirus” from eating feral pigeons. Toxicology also showed a breakdown of the pesticide DDT, but the levels of the pesticide were not significant enough to cause his death. The rodenticide and virus were both capable of causing severe illness, according to Dr. Paul Calle, chief veterinarian for the Wildlife Conservation society, though it’s unclear which one was responsible for the bird’s death. Flaco’s ultimate cause of death, a collision with a building, would likely have been caused by the bird flying disoriented while he was suffering from illness and poisoning.
Bird collisions are an incredibly common cause of death for birds. They are the second most common cause of death after domestic cats. Collisions with building glass kill between 90,000 and 230,000 migrating birds in New York City each year, according to Audubon NYC’s research. In addition, birds that dwell in big cities have much more contend with, as they have to deal with toxic pesticides commonly used by private homeowners in big cities like New York City. Wild Bird Fund director Rita McMahon said that rodenticide is to blame for 84% of the deaths of birds that they encounter, and that the poisons can stay in a bird’s system for up to 100 days.
Flaco was a Eurasian eagle-owl that escaped the Central Park Zoo after someone cut his cage’s stainless steel mesh. The Zoo attempted to recapture Flaco, but he began to improve his hunting skills and gain independence, so the Zoo were not able to entice him back with food.
Sightings of Flaco began to be common. New Yorkers celebrated the bird’s presence and his successful bid to live in the wild. The Central Park Zoo cautioned that Flaco might be endangered by eating a poisoned rodent or might prey on sensitive species. Flaco seemed to be doing well, but then in February 2024, a fallen owl was reported to the Wild Bird Fund, and the owl was confirmed to be Flaco. New Yorkers mourned his death and created a memorial to Flaco at the base of his favorite tree in Central Park.
Flaco’s death was a tragedy, but his life was an inspiration. Though he was safe at the Zoo, he followed his natural instinct for freedom and lived a life of independence before he died. His death has focused attention on the issue of bird safety in cities, and what humans can do to make cities safer for birds. New York Senators have renewed a push to pass the Dark Skies Act and renamed the Bird Friendly Buildings Act the FLACO Act. These pieces of legislation will require state owned buildings to make bird friendly provisions in their architecture and to reduce lighting at night, which has been shown to disorient night migrating birds that may fly into cities and die by collision. Birds face a host of threats in cities, including bird collisions, habitat loss, and poisoning by pesticide or rodenticide.
Flaco the owl was an animal who stood out and reminded city dwellers that animal lives have meaning. With the publicity around his death, now is a good time to push local legislators to take steps to introduce legislation to make cities more bird friendly. You can also reach out to your local bird conservation societies to see how you can join the effort to protect birds in cities.
In an exciting breakthrough for research in animal communication, the SETI institute managed to
have the first ever conversation with a humpbacked whale. The SETI institute began as a NASA
research program to understand and search for life beyond earth. The Whale-SETI team is using the
mathematics of information theory to understand terrestrial, non-human communication as a way
to develop filters to apply to any communication with extraterrestrial life.
Humpback whales are social and intelligent creatures who make tools and communicate with songs
and social calls. The Whale-SETI team has been studying humpback whale communication, which
include “contact calls” that whales use to communicate their presence to other whales. The team of
scientists from the SETI Institute, UC Davis and the Alaska Whale Foundation played the contact calls
into the sea via an underwater speaker, and a humpback whale named Twain approached and
circled the team’s boat while responding in a style that matched the original contact signal. The
researchers managed to have a 20 minute conversation with Twain. It is the first known
“conversation” between humans and humpback whales. Humpback whales also display non-audio
communicative behavior when they blow bubble rings in the presence of humans.
Whale SETI may be viewed as a springboard for communicating with extraterrestrial life. However
communication with animals could have more immediate benefits for animals in our world, right
now. Whales are one of the marine creatures who are profoundly affected by human activity. Whale song is disrupted by the noise of ships. If we can communicate with non-human animals our decision making should consider them as equal participants.
Humans have erroneously viewed human communication as synonymous with superior intelligence.
Without the ability to communicate with other animals and with a so-called superior intelligence
human activity has rampaged throughout animal habitats without the consent of animals. Every step
towards understanding animal intelligence and communication provides further evidence that these
assumptions are wrong. Scientific knowledge should not dictate our respect for non-human animals,
however scientific discovery can provide a basis for progressive animal rights policy and zero
tolerance for cruelty towards non-human lives.
