Petition Seeks End to Stray Dog Euthanasia
INPA Killed 1,300 Stray Dogs in 2025
High Court Mandates Nonlethal Options Before Euthanasia
The time is now 8:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, the animal rights organization Let the Animals Live filed a petition with the Jerusalem District Court on February 19 asking the Israel Nature and Parks Authority to halt the shooting and killing of stray dogs in and around nature preserves. Data supplied by Let the Animals Live show the Israel Nature and Parks Authority killed about 1,300 stray dogs in 2025, up from 794 in 2024. They describe the practice of killing stray dogs found within 500 meters of nature preserves as "cruel" and "a practice that exceeds all moral standards." The petition argues that INPA's "Procedure for Treating Feral Dogs" conflicts with Israel's Animal Cruelty Law, rabies ordinances, and prior High Court rulings that require non-lethal options to be exhausted before euthanasia. Let the Animals Live says the procedure makes shooting an alternative to treating the dogs rather than following the High Court's directive.
