More than 3 million dogs are believed to be at risk in Morocco as animal advocates warn of a mass killing campaign tied to preparations for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. That's where this conversation begins. Fleur Dawes, Communications Director for In Defense of Animals, takes us inside one of the organization's most urgent international campaigns and explains what advocates are doing to stop it.
But Morocco is only the beginning. Dawes also reveals the behind-the-scenes stories behind the ban on South Korea's dog meat industry, Mongolia's landmark Pet Law, the global fight to end cosmetic animal testing, California's shelter crisis, wolf recovery, the battle over Billy and Tina's future, and why she believes public pressure can change governments around the world. This is an inside look at how modern animal protection campaigns are won—and why the next battles may be the most important yet.
