BREAKING‼️The Turkish Parliament has voted in favor of the Bill to amend the Animal Protection Law No. 5199, which will result in the rounding up and killing of millions of stray dogs and cats. The law demands that municipalities build shelters by 2028, but at the same time, it requires the immediate collection of dogs unless they are adopted and registered to a human. Only 298 out of 1,403 municipalities have shelters, which can host around 105,000 dogs, while the stray population is around 4 million. In reality, this will mean catastrophe for the stray animals. Animal Save Movement condemns the Turkish Parliament’s decision to pass this horrendous bill despite local and global pressure. Protests took place in several cities, including Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, London, New York, and Amsterdam. Nearly 40,000 people signed a petition, and more than 100 organizations signed an open letter in opposition to the bill. Nilgün Engin (@yasamdanyana), @AnkaraSaveTR organizer, said, “The new law is neither applicable nor fair. It is essentially a death penalty for all strays, including cats. There are no shelters to keep them off the streets; therefore, the authorities will decide to kill them due to overpopulation. We do not accept this, and we will not obey this law. Dogs and cats are a part of our culture, and we are determined to keep them safe as our neighbors.” #WithdrawTheLawTurkey #YasayıGeriÇek #SaveTurkishDogs #SaveTurkishCats #WithdrawtheLawTürkiye

MTG says she “seriously hates” people who support Ukraine: “This whole thing is the repulsive, disgusting thing happening…I seriously hate them for doing this to the American people for paying for the murder and slaughter of people in Ukraine”

Wonderful to chair the post screening debate for “War Tails” in London last night. A hugely powerful & important film about the dog rescuers of Ukraine & the race against time to sterilise stray dogs & inject against rabies which could cause a huge public health crisis in Ukraine & Europe @HSIUKorg @FOURPAWSUK @PeterEgan6 @Naturewatch_org #Ukraine

1/2: An honour to be at the preview of ‘War Tails’ film documentary in London last night. Ukraine's Animals in the Crossfire - a documentary about the impact on animals when Russia invaded, and the amazing work of volunteers who have come to animals' aid.

War Tails is a remarkable film exposing the horror of the invasion of Ukraine the devastating impact it is having on the human population and all the animals. Krystina is an inspiring young woman doing the most challenging work to save as many animals from the horror they face.
