Stray dog management in North Africa and Middle East
Overview
In Morocco, residents in cities such as Larache and Souk Sebt Oulad Nemma have reported growing concerns regarding increasing packs of stray dogs in urban areas. In Larache, the issue is linked to migration from semi-rural areas, which increases aggression during breeding seasons and poses risks to pedestrians. While national guidelines prohibit indiscriminate killing, local authorities face logistical difficulties in implementing humane alternatives like the TNVR program.
In Egypt and Jordan, regional authorities are taking active steps to manage populations. In Dakahlia, Egypt, Governor Tariq Marzouq is overseeing intensified veterinary campaigns to combat rabies and address citizen complaints about nighttime dog presence. In Zarqa, Jordan, officials and animal welfare associations are discussing scientific and humane solutions, including using processed poultry waste to lure dogs away from residential areas and implementing electronic tracking systems for vaccination and sterilization.
