Turkey introduces law for stray dog euthanasia, faces backlash over insufficient shelter resources.
Turkey's government has faced backlash after introducing a new law that allows for the rounding-up and euthanasia of stray dogs, aiming to remove them from the streets and place them in shelters. Critics argue that the law falls short in providing sufficient shelter space and resources, with an estimated four million stray dogs in the country. Animal rights activists and tourists are boycotting and cancelling trips to Turkey in protest.
