Bill proposal stirred up Alanya: "Solution is not killing"

Political party representatives and animal rights advocates in Alanya opposed the proposed bill submitted to the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) that suggests euthanasia for stray animals, instead calling for alternative solutions and the enforcement of existing laws.

Political party leaders and animal rights advocates in Alanya have voiced their opposition to the proposed bill foreseeing euthanasia for stray animals submitted to the TBMM. District presidents of the CHP and İYİ Party demanded the withdrawal of the proposal and the development of alternative solutions. Animal rights advocates emphasized that local governments have not fulfilled their responsibilities under current laws. It is believed that Alanya Mayor Osman Tarık Özçelik will refrain from implementing this practice despite the risk of penalties. As protests continue, authorities have been urged to show greater sensitivity.
