The recently passed law to regulate stray dogs in Turkey has ignited widespread outrage, with critics labeling it as the "massacre law" that threatens over 4 million strays.
Animal rights activists warn that the killing of stray dogs is already occurring, with reports of corpses found discarded, illustrating a grim reality under the new legislation.
The legislation, introduced by President Erdogan's party, aims to address public fears over dog attacks but has run counter to a longstanding culture of care for street animals.
Some mayors from the political opposition are refusing to comply with the law, creating further political tensions amid widespread public discontent and concern for animal welfare.
