Turkey has proposed a law targeting stray dogs, introduced by President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
The bill aims to capture and house stray dogs in shelters, with euthanasia as an option if the animals are not adopted within 30 days.
Turkey has an estimated 4 million stray dogs, and the proposed legislation follows incidents involving stray dog attacks.
The bill has sparked widespread protests and criticism from animal rights activists, who argue for more humane methods like sterilization and vaccination programs.
The proposed law has ignited a broader debate about animal rights and welfare in Turkey, with some viewing it as a politically motivated move by the government.
