Recently, Lady Freethinker reported about the atrocities occurring in Agadir, Morocco, where street dogs are being rounded up by sanitation officials and thrown into pounds without access to food or water. Out of desperation, the imprisoned dogs resort to eating one another to stay alive.
Unfortunately, the horrible situation these dogs face is not getting better.
Video footage, filmed by animal welfare activists Lucy Austin and Fanny Belle, shows visibly malnourished dogs ripping apart the corpses of their starved-to-death counterparts.
Additional footage, published by Morocco Animal Aid (MAA), reveals injured, famished dogs with bones almost protruding from their skin after being denied life’s basic necessities.
Volunteers from MMA have attempted to bring food and water to these desperate dogs, but officials repeatedly block their access to the pounds, according to MAA. This has, allegedly, been happening for months.
“International news, but still no change for these dogs,” posts MMA on Facebook. “They continue to kill and eat each other. The city piles them up in this death camp, and still, their plight continues to be ignored. They die every day, and still, no one with power stands for them. What will it take? We are desperate. Please, help us stop this. Share their story. Raise the flag for them.”
Without a humane solution to the stray dog population, these innocent animals will continue to suffer and die. The Moroccan government must be stopped from perpetuating this barbaric behavior before more precious lives are lost.
Please, sign the petition below to urge the Moroccan ambassador to the United States to call for her government to immediately end this cruelty. The time to act is now.
SIGN: Justice for Dogs So Desperate, They Are Eating Each Other to Stay Alive
This is terrible!!
Please may I ask that the empathy humans are capable of is urgently shown towards these hapless and desperate street creatures. The current situation is obscene and distressing. The officials who are blocking the MMA are acting like vicious thugs . Is this what Morocco wants to be known for? Tsk! Shocking!
This is Disgusting. I can’t believe they won’t even let the poor dogs eat food that people are offering. Sounds like they want them to slowly die ad kill each other. Can they not be rescued like in Korea?
This is unbelievable cruelty and the city leaders must find it in their hearts to help these dogs.
animals have a right to be protected and feed..they deserve to be treated well by humans and give them shelter water and food ,,medical care..what have these poor creatures done to deserve such cruellty..by mankin..they cant speak for themselfs..come on people,,,
please stop it
Terrible please stop it
Wonderful blog post. This is absolute magic from you! I have never seen a more wonderful post than this one. You’ve really made my day today with this. I hope you keep this up!
There is no need for this. Come on why are they not feeding these poor animals. What a horrible place. They need to be rescued and away from there.
The true followers of Islam would never do this shameful cruel thing. It is a religion of compassion. It is a disgrace to subject any living creatures to such barbarism. I urge that the ambassador of the USA be the voice of these sentient and precious lives, and politely ask the Morrocan government to change their dreadful policy and enforce canine sterilization. Please
this is horrific
If lucy stops sniffing the donation money up her nose.the dog will get more to eat
Please please show some. Humanity and give them a chance.at life and God will reward you ten thousand fold.

The non care of gods creatures is barbaric and inhumane, my heart cries for them, there has to be someone with love 💕 in their heart to step up and do the right thing, please be that brave person, PLEASE, Ethel
Dogs are like humans If you can’t feed them pls release them or allow them to be helped and fed . These creatures are innocent,helpless and can’t do anything without the help of humans, it’s too cruel to leave them to die hungry just like us they feel pain, get sick,scared feel trauma. And of course hungry. Please save these defenseless mans best friend. Respect animals.
I was going visit your country this year but after seeing how you treat animals , I will never make the journey . Regards
What a disgusting story from what I thought was a beautiful place. You must end this or people will not visit and waste their money, rather stay at home and help save a life
Unbelievable that something isn’t being done to aid theses poor animals. Why is help being denied? This behavior will certainly curtail tourism to this hell hole.
People in animals after her dog but the man said the dog is neglected
It does not destroy our food to feed the dogs who can we do not threw.
Please Help street Dog

What sick vile barbaric backward evil arseholes I hope they rot in hell and die a long painful death evil pure evil I hope one day the animals will get the upper hand to disgusting non humans
THIS MUST STOP NOW
Please help these dogs!!!!!!
Inhuman treatment of these dogs is inexcusable. Your country should step up and create clinics where you neuter dogs at these holding shelters, allow food +water to be brought in. Dogs are mans best friend, loyal and loving if given the chance. The fact that your country can employ people at the same time as giving human treatment to dogs is lost on you!!

I’m hoping the coronavirus wipes out a large number of animal abusers.
Pls.stop this cruelty and allow animals to be helped and fed.. This is so heartbreaking because dogs are sentient creatures they also have emotions just like us. If only they can talk they would ask for help. Please allow people to help these poor innocent dogs who are starving,
These dogs have feelings of hunger, thirst, pain, and fear — just like your own children.
What can we do to help these animals?
Does SPANA (The Society for the Protection of Nature and Animals) know about this situation? I know that dogs and cats are neutered and spayed for free through this charity. There are five SPANA centres in Casablanca, Chemaia, Had Ouled Frej, Khemisset and Marrakech. Two mobile veterinary clinics, one in Marrakech and one in Casablanca, reach animals in remote communities. There must be so many restaurants that could provide waste food to prevent these poor dogs from resorting to eating the dying amongst them. Dogs deserve so much better.
Please be humane and kind and feed them as you would want to be fed if you were in the same condition.
This must stop! Please make it stop! This is so cruel! Animals should not have to suffer this way!
You can judge how advanced a country is by how it treats the most innocent and powerless — children and animals. How do you think you rank?
Omg!! Why??
It’s difficult to believe that nothing is being done to help these dogs. I’ll never be a tourist in that country.
What can we do to help the animals?
Yell are a bunch of stupid asses let yell starve
What’s the point of having a beautiful country if under the facade lies such grotesque cruelty. Please end animal suffering in beautiful morocco
Down right Atrocious appaulling cruelty stop the sheer brutality on these suffering Animals
We need to first save the animals and then hang the freaks that starved/abused them.
