TURKEY PROTEST ANIMALS

Protest against Turkish government's plan to euthanize strays amid growing dog population

epa11489529 Animal rights activists hold a placard reading 'You can't collect, you can't imprison, you can't kill' and shout slogans during a protest against a proposed government plan to euthanize strays amid a growing dog population in Istanbul, Turkey, 20 July 2024. A Turkish parliamentary commission convened on 17 July to discuss a bill aimed at managing the country's large stray dog population. Animal advocates are concerned that the bill could lead to widespread culling of the animals. The discussions have been postponed until 22 July 2024. The plan involves relocating stray dogs to kennels, where they can be adopted within 30 days. However, dogs without owners after a month would be euthanized to make space as the 250 animal shelters in Turkey have a combined capacity of 90,000 animals. EPA/ERDEM SAHIN
