Taza – Calls are growing from local stakeholders and residents of Tahla, in the province of Taza, for urgent action to address the increasing presence of stray dogs in streets and residential neighborhoods, amid mounting concerns over repeated attacks on residents, particularly children, women, and elderly people.
Local community groups have expressed their concern through widely shared posts on social media, stressing that the growing number of stray dogs has become a daily source of anxiety for residents, with reports of several attacks on passersby.
According to circulating information, one resident was reportedly attacked last week by a pack of stray dogs while heading to the bus station for a trip. The incident forced him to cancel his journey and seek medical treatment, once again highlighting demands for immediate action to tackle the issue.
In the same context, local voices have called on animal welfare organizations to contribute to practical field solutions that both protect public safety and respect animal welfare, by implementing programs for capturing, sterilizing, sheltering, and managing stray dogs in accordance with recognized humane practices, rather than limiting their role to debating methods of dealing with the phenomenon.
Community representatives are urging the competent authorities to launch urgent interventions to address the spread of stray dogs, with the aim of striking a balance between protecting public health and safety and respecting the legal framework governing animal welfare, particularly in light of the growing number of complaints from residents.
