Animal rights activists are up in arms over a proposed new law in Türkiye that would drastically alter the treatment of stray animals. The current “Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return” program faces replacement with a policy of confinement in shelters, raising fears of widespread euthanasia and abuse. Advocates allege these shelters are effectively “death camps” where animals are mistreated. Critics point out the law fails to address the root causes of stray animal populations, such as animal production and trade, and lacks provisions for abandoned pets or penalties for animal cruelty. They are demanding the Turkish government reverse course and adopt humane, scientifically-backed solutions like sterilization programs.
