Turkey’s Stray Dog ‘Massacre Law’ Has Divided Its Country

For centuries, stray dogs in Turkey have lived alongside humans in communities who care for and feed them. The country has even instituted progressive animal right laws to protect healthy street dogs and criminalizes those who may hurt these animals with jail time. This longstanding tradition of community street dogs dates back to at least the Ottoman Empire, but this social con

HAYTAP’s Manifesto

Stop New Law to Kill Stray Animals of Turkey

Historically there have always been many stray dogs in Turkey. They are part of our culture and most of them are friendly and do not pose a threat to people. For centuries we have lived side by side and many people in Turkey respect our stray dogs. The problem is that their numbers have grown year after year, because our government has not implemented the Trap-Neuter-Release programmes in their areas. Or when t

What Is Happening exterminating millions of dogs in Turkey ? 2024 July

The Turkish government has drawn up legislation to capture and sterilise stray dogs, before putting them down if they are not adopted within 30 days. This plan is backed-up by a government sponsored propaganda campaign, showing aggressive dogs and victims with rabies. Why is this happening?

Haytap—Fighting for long-term change for animals in Turkey

Before Haytap, the first Turkish animal rights federation, numerous isolated associations had been struggling for years, focusing exclusively on rescuing local stray dogs and cats. Those kind individuals were so exhausted and resource-strapped that they couldn’t catch their breaths and plan far ahead. It took Ahmet Kemal Şenpolat, a lawyer with a broad perspective, long-term commitment and stra

Turkish Strays in NY TIMES

ISTANBUL — I’m no animal lover. Cats make me sneeze. When our daughter flew the roost it never occurred to me to fill the empty nest with a dog. But with Turkey now considering a bill that would cull Istanbul’s estimated 150,000 stray cats and dogs, I may well change my mind. It wouldn’t be possible to live in a traditional neighborhood here and be against all beasts. Shaggy dogs strol

Stray Dog Population Control

This new law ( 2024 August ) is madness, totally impractical and useless. It will simply result in municipal dog catchers picking up friendly, approachable dogs and then later starving or killing them. It obviously will do nothing to solve the surplus dog problem, in fact it will make it worse, because by removing neutered, vaccinated dogs with ear clips from the streets, they will create carrying capacity for fertile
