 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring. Joined on stage by Dollywood president Eugene Naughton, Parton brought her trademark humor to the crowd, joking about rumors of a new husband while reaffirming her devotion to Dean.

MOROCCO, CO-HOSTING THE 2030 FIFA WORLD CUP WITH SPAIN AND PORTUGAL, HAS SPARKED INTERNATIONAL CRITICISM FOR ITS PLANS TO CULL UP TO THREE MILLION STRAY DOGS. (PHOTO).


 Morocco, co-hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup with Spain and Portugal, has sparked international criticism for its plans to cull up to three million stray dogs. 

The move, reportedly aimed at improving the country’s image for tourists, has led to outrage among animal rights organisations and activists, who condemn the brutal methods being used to manage the stray population.


Reports suggest that Moroccan authorities are employing inhumane tactics such as poisoning dogs with toxic chemicals, shooting them in public areas, and even beating them to death. The International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition has expressed serious concerns about the mass killings, while renowned animal rights advocate Jane Goodall has called on FIFA to suspend Morocco’s hosting duties if the culling continues. Goodall, along with other activists, is urging for immediate action to stop the violence.


Despite laws in Morocco that ban the culling of street dogs, authorities allegedly continue these actions unchecked. Animal welfare organisations promoting humane alternatives, like trap-neuter-vaccinate-release (TNVR) programmes, face growing challenges due to limited resources and increasing numbers of stray animals. Overcrowded shelters are struggling to provide care, making it harder to manage the crisis sustainably.


FIFA has not yet issued an official response but is said to be monitoring the situation. Inspections are reportedly underway at Morocco’s proposed World Cup venues to ensure compliance with international standards. Meanwhile, global calls for humane and sustainable solutions are growing, urging Moroccan authorities to reconsider their approach and adopt methods that respect animal welfare.
