What Is Happening in Turkey:

In Turkey, millions of stray dogs are facing a heartbreaking reality. A new law has opened the door to large-scale, brutal culling of these innocent animals, putting their lives at serious risk. This policy ignores humane solutions and leaves Turkey’s stray dogs in immediate danger. Now, they need our voices to stand up for them.

For years, Turkey’s stray dogs have been a beloved part of the country’s culture, roaming neighborhoods and receiving care from local residents. But this new law allows for the widespread, indiscriminate killing of strays as a method of population control. Instead of compassionate, lasting solutions like sterilization, this law favors mass killings. Thousands of dogs have already lost their lives, and more are at risk each day.

Why This Matters:

Turkey’s law allowing stray dog culling has serious impacts beyond its borders. By endorsing this approach, Turkey could influence other countries struggling with similar issues to adopt the same inhumane practices. Without action, this trend could spread, encouraging cruelty and ignoring proven solutions like spay-and-neuter programs.
