A circular was shared by the Ministry in the past months regarding the protection of stray animals and the species that can be considered dangerous. After the publication of the circular, social media was divided into two, and some argued that the place of stray animals was shelters, while others argued that these animals should not be sent to shelters.
Statement by the Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Murat Kurum; He said that the number of shelters would be increased, and the efforts for the care and treatment of animals were gaining momentum. However, this explanation was not found enough by some people and they thought that they had to do something themselves.
“Let’s disturb the street animals and make them attack ourselves”
Although the majority of the animals on the street are harmless, in some cases they can attack people. However, there may be many reasons for this situation, but in some cases it is possible to see people attacking because of provocation or harm. Although such incidents are not very common, people who are afraid of dogs to the degree of phobia may feel uncomfortable with animals on the street, even if they are not doing anything. Of course, some people can have a great love for animals even though they are afraid.
Some people, on the other hand, have a very different approach to the subject. They may think that these animals should ‘die’ or live in shelters because they are afraid or find them dangerous, and they come up with their own solutions for this. In a Twitter Space room, a group of users who were bothered by the dogs straying around also suggested a very interesting ‘solution’ for these animals. One of the people in the room said, “Maybe we need to make edits. In other words, when a dog is calm, in an empty field, maybe we will poke those dogs and make them attack us”, he thought that by plotting the dogs, they could have them recalled.
After the video that got a lot of backlash went viral, some users said it was a fiction and later in the conversation other users were against this suggestion. Some users also shared that the person in the conversation ‘pushed the public to grudge and hatred’. You may be uncomfortable with the animals around you, you may be afraid, but in such cases, it will be sufficient to complain to the municipality you are affiliated with. Remember that they can’t tell their problems like us and some of their problems that they can’t tell can push them to be more aggressive. However, in such cases, we must remain calm and forget that they are also living creatures. If you make the necessary notifications, you may even save the life of a living thing.
