Concerns Over Dog Ownership in Residential Areas
In a related news segment, the newspaper highlighted concerns raised by parliamentary member Moulay Mehdi Al-Fatimi, a member of the Socialist team in the federal opposition, regarding the noticeable increase in dog ownership within residential complexes and shared spaces across Morocco. Al-Fatimi pointed out that this situation has led to repeated complaints from residents due to the noise caused by barking dogs and the misuse of common areas such as corridors and gardens for dog walking. These practices have raised serious health and safety concerns, particularly for children and the elderly.
Furthermore, the parliamentary member has questioned the Minister of Interior about the legal and regulatory measures in place to regulate dog ownership in residential neighborhoods and shared spaces.
