Stray Dogs in Qatar Abused as the World Cup Begins

Qatar, the host of the 2022 World Cup, is rounding up stray dogs and taking them to shelters where they are reportedly being euthanized. The country’s strays are regularly subject to abuse and attacks, but since the World Cup’s arrival authorities have been taking people’s companion animals as a form of “pest control.” Shelters in Doha, Qatar’s capital, are now over capacity with thousands of dogs.
