İstanbul protesters oppose a new Turkish law targeting stray dogs, fearing mass culling or overcrowded shelters.
Thousands of protesters in Istanbul are opposing a new Turkish law aimed at removing stray dogs from the streets, which critics say could lead to mass culling or overcrowded shelters. The law mandates municipalities to collect, vaccinate, and spay stray dogs before adoption, but activists worry about potential euthanasia under false pretenses and inadequate funding for shelters. The main opposition party is seeking to repeal the law in the Constitutional Court.
