The Issue

This has to STOP now!! We were hiking in Büyükada Island today..stopping by every horse "resting" place asking how often do they give water to the horses..all of them would say "3-4 times a day" not even a single place or a smallest bowl had a sip of water in it.. I then came a cross of this dying horse just hiding in the bush, starving to death barely standing on her legs... She followed me to the more open area and just collapsed...there were 20 horses more...all of them tied to trees under the sun, with no water or food...we were trying to help the collapsed horse when their keepers saw us..came to us..I told them that the horse was dying call the vet right now.. "Yeah ok we will" they said...I said the horses are thirsty..another guy started filling water buckets.. He wondered how do I know that the animals are thirsty.. FUNNY RIGHT? I told him to look at their faces...From the sound of running water, they all ran here..

I know this has been going on for years now, and it os not just Büyükada . This is happening in all Princes' Islands of Istanbul. And other cities as well. There are loads of organisations trying to help, but the corruption is so strong that it seems impossible to change anything.

Please please please let's make a move... Not riding the carriages is not enough... We need to help them directly...please SIGN THE PETITION!! Do not turn ur back..do not ignore!! I need your help
