3,000,000 Dogs to be Massacred Ahead of World Cup

[Good Bacteria]

I see you can't take a joke and it was also a dig at the people who created this mess in the first place.

I'll have to remember you're a comedian and take that into consideration going forward, thx. Still, your deflecting and making cracks doesn't diminish my stance, sorry. 

It's strange we're arguing at all. We're both advocating for the same result if you can be honest on your end.

What's the cycle you're used to? A stray is picked up, impounded, put up for adoption, but what if they are not adopted? They are put down, right? It's the same result, difference is people selfishly need to feel good about it so they can cry harder in the end, I guess. (shrugs)

These dogs are feral, merely coexisting with the host population. Merely surviving which sets the feral attributes into stone. Can't touch them, can't go near them. No hope of placement at all, as nobody gives a hoot about them in the first place. (Shelter 'save rate' in the US is ~82%, but still, close to a million shelter dogs and cats are whacked annually.) 

It's more humane to destroy them rather than dragout the process where no processes exist.

Or we could start a rescue fund, lol. Smh.

'Personally', I said. You see value. Noted. I don't. (shrugs)

I don't know about 'value'. 
What I see is living creatures suffering, sad, and being wasted.
I see death.  
Either way ... let to live or made to die ....
the mess and death is all the fault of humans.

That's because most people have 'Disney Goggles' when it comes to animals and frankly, they need to grow up. (shrugs)

You don't think animals feel fear when facing harm or death?
You don't think animals feel rejection and sadness when humans abandon them?
You don't think that we should try not to let those things happen?
Well ... I disagree with you.

Perhaps if you watch enough Disney films. People project their own feelings onto animals and then equate/confuse them with human emotions. Its just another form of 'baby talk'. People do it with their kids. You don't speak that way normally, but when faced with 'babies' your voice goes high and you speak in repetition.

This is particularly prevalent in unmarried, aging women that have no kids and no outlet to impart their instinctual drive to care and nurture for young.

This drive is incredibly ingrained. The more pets you see, the more it probably sucks for the poor lady.

If people had kids, they'd have different priorities. My kids, family and humans in general come BEFORE animals. Its not even a debate. Those that prioritize the inverse have other undisclosed issues going on. (shrugs)

Were you bitten as a child??

I understand when this is done to protect a species or stop the spread of disease, but this is being done for the sake of tourism, surely you understand that this only about tourists perception of Morocco, which will return to it's regular numbers once the football is over, and the Moroccans will carry on with their poor pet ownership?  This should be about educating the populous not just killing dogs or in 6 months after the football ends the problem will just resurface.

So it's killing animals for the wrong reasons.

So it's killing animals for the wrong reasons.

Which is purely subjective. You and I don't live there, nor are we beholden to their cultures or laws. So this is being viewed through people's preferred 'lenses' then filtered through what people think should happen; those results being what those people normally experience and expect from their own countries.

How do Moroccans feel about it?? Probably as indifferent as they feel on any given day.

Imagine if animal rights groups felt the same about human life, as it pertains to abortion, as they do about animal life. Consider the disconnect you have to have in order to even facilitate that type of thinking.

The rescue fund is still on the table btw, lol. Smh.

I am merely theoretically disappointed that were the Olympics not inbound...

this would not have been a "Let's kill every single dog" moment.

The fact that this is for 'optics' belies any tolerance as a 'good' thing.

Unless the dogs were lived with as a pestilence... 

this mass culling seems especially cruel...

But I don't live there...

and perhaps for many this is a "Thank goodness, finally!" kind of thing... perhaps they had all been suffering silently over the giant canine population.

Dogs can present a hazard to the public (just like people) but given the integration into the community...
it appears they were mostly not feral... only partially acclimatized to large human populations.

You never know... 

Don't mind me folks...

Among my many memories of love, a dog was frequently warmly present. (or a cat.)

Nazis and right-wing bigots always love animals, don't they.

Right-wingers around the world increasingly use apolitical animal protection to mask overt racism and xenophobia, often using social media space to appeal to different target groups: whether you are a consumer, an amateur gardener, a concerned parent or an animal lover. The posts are designed in an appropriate tone, with narrative and visual representations that help spread clicks, shares and likes, allowing them to become an integral part of the central neo-Nazi message. Numerous examples from around the globe and our country, too, speak in favour of this.

So anyone who loves dogs is a racist and nazi.

Noice.

My puppers and I are disgusted by your post.
