Illegal stray dog culling continues in Lahore

Animal rights activists use peace march to highlight cruelty concerns
Animal welfare advocates in Sri Lanka are attempting to bring greater national attention to animal suffering during the country’s ongoing Walk for Peace campaign.

Ghana
Campaigners warn cruelty toward animals reflects wider violence in society

Spain
Rescue groups warn summer abandonment season is approaching
Animal welfare organisations in Spain are warning of a likely increase in dog and cat abandonment cases as the summer holiday period approaches.
