SALIMA KADAOUI

Salima (Sally) is our founder and SFT was her childhood dream. Born from a Moroccan father and British mother, she was raised in Tangier and grew up seeing the suffering of the strays on the streets, desperately needing help. In 2013 she returned to Tangier to turn her dream into a reality.

Sally’s mission is for the humans and animals in Tangier to live in harmony. And for every animal to be shown the care and compassion they deserve.

She believes that the key to this is to educate the community and be an example for others to follow.

DR LAHRECH

Dr Lahrech is an honorary member of SFT. He is a vet based in Tangier and works day and night to help the sanctuary.

From treating and neutering strays for our TNVT programme to attending to emergency cases at all hours.

We are so very lucky to have this man working with the sanctuary. We owe him a great deal

Cruel and illegal ways to kill dogs’

Moroccan authorities are using cruel and illegal ways to cull the stray dogs. These methods include poisoning them with a deadly chemical called strychnine, shooting them in public, and reportedly beating surviving dogs to death with shovels, The Daily Mail reported.

The International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition (IAWPC) has said that up to three million dogs could be killed in this campaign. The organisation also launched a campaign titled “Morocco’s Ugly Secret”.

“Almost every day, individuals acting on behalf of the Moroccan Government, tour the streets: Shooting dogs around the clock armed with rifles and pistols. Rarely killed outright, wounding is a major consequence. Poisoning dogs using either ‘stick’ type implements with a syringe on the end containing the poison, to stab the unsuspecting dogs in the body, or through the alternative method of feeding them poisoned bait by hand,” IAWPC said. The International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition
