Cruelty in Turkey
Why `NOW` is a good time to rescue from Turkey?
Stray cats and dogs in Turkey are under severe threat due to a combination of legal, societal, and governmental factors that have escalated into widespread cruelty. They face brutal abuse, neglect, and mass killings. We demand an end to this law and real protection for strays—before it's too late.

1
Negative media campaigns
The negative media campaigns have amplified fear and hostility toward stray animals, portraying them as dangerous. This has led to widespread public complaints and a decline in tolerance for strays.
2
Law to Kill
A law passed from the National Assembly in August 24 forces municipalities to remove strays, although there is no capacity in shelters.
3
Shelters as Death Camps
Underfunded and inhumane, many municipal shelters leave animals to starve, suffer, or face mass killings.
4
More Abandonment
Irresponsible owners dump pets, making the crisis worse.
5
No Justice for Animal Cruelty
Torturers and killers of animals walk free, facing little to no consequences for their crimes.
