##  Fines for Feeding Feral Cats: Moroccan Law Sparks Backlash 

A new draft law criminalizing the feeding of stray animals in Morocco has ignited a firestorm on social media, pitting animal welfare advocates against proponents of the controversial measure. 

### Proposed Penalties 

The proposed legislation, outlined in Article 5 of Draft Law No. 19.25, focuses on "protecting stray animals" but comes with steep penalties for those who dare to help them. Individuals caught feeding strays could face fines of up to 3,000 MAD. 


###  Global Precedent?

Supporters of the law point to similar regulations already in place across the globe, arguing that controlling food distribution is key to managing stray populations effectively.

Moroccan animal welfare organizations have directly appealed to King Mohammed VI to halt what they describe as "systematic mass killings" of stray dogs and cats. The groups claim these actions are taking place in anticipation of upcoming continental and international events.

In a letter addressed to the monarch, the organizations state they have "exhausted all institutional channels" without receiving a response from relevant authorities.
