Turkey's AK party proposes bill to round up stray dogs, mandating sheltering until adoption or euthanasia.
Turkey's ruling party proposed a bill to parliament aiming to round up millions of stray dogs, sparking concern among animal lovers. The draft law, presented by the AK party, mandates municipalities to remove strays from the streets and place them in shelters until adoption. Aggressive dogs or those with untreatable diseases would be euthanized. Critics argue that a mass neutering campaign would be a more humane solution than shelter overcrowding.
