Janhvi Kapoor Slams Morocco Over Planned Mass Killing of Stray Dogs

Actress Janhvi Kapoor has voiced strong criticism against Moroccan authorities following reports of plans to kill nearly 3 million stray dogs ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which the country is co-hosting. Animal welfare groups have condemned the campaign, calling it an inhumane move disguised as an attempt to “clean up” streets.

Janhvi shared her outrage on Instagram, calling the act "criminal" and asserting that rehabilitation, not slaughter, should be the solution. Her post gained traction as more activists and celebrities began condemning the campaign. According to reports, authorities in Morocco are using cruel methods like strychnine poisoning and public shootings, triggering widespread backlash.

So far, FIFA has not issued an official statement, but pressure is mounting. Janhvi’s reaction has added star power to the global protest. Known for being an animal lover, the actress has used her platform to advocate for compassion toward stray animals.

On the professional front, Janhvi is gearing up for the release of Param Sundari, a romantic drama with Sidharth Malhotra, set in Kerala’s backwaters. She also stars in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumar opposite Varun Dhawan, continuing her rise as a versatile performer in both romantic and socially relevant stories.
