Oppose the Proposed Law on Street Animals in Turkey

The Issue

The proposed legislation on street animals in Turkey has sparked concern among animal lovers and rights groups. It is feared that this law may neglect or overlook the welfare of thousands of street animals. Turkey is estimated to be a home to millions of street animals, many dogs and cats amongst them live harmoniously alongside the human population (source: World Animal Protection). However, the proposed legislation could disrupt this harmony, causing undue suffering and hardship to these animals. We urge policymakers to reconsider the legislation and instead invest in sustainable, humane solutions such as Trap-Neuter-Return-Manage (TNRM) programs that have proven successful in various nations across the world. Please, show your support for the welfare of street animals in Turkey by signing this petition.
