Police brutality against dogs in Turkey

The images were recorded last weekend in Bebek, Istanbul. A group of policemen proceed to an amazing display of voilence and abuse over an innocent and hepless man and his dogs.
The man was begging the police to hit him but not to hit his animals.
The victim is too affraid to even contemplate presenting charges but EHDKD, an animal wellfare organization, will take the police officers to court for animal abuse and violation of the Turkish Animal Wellfare Law.

The dogs were a danger to the people in the area. Why does this guy walk around with so many dogs in the first place?

The police did the right thing.

[ehdkd]

The dogs were a danger to noone.

Reckless traffic, drunk drivers are...

There is no law that prohibits poor homeless people to seek the friendship of dogs.

İ have four dogs myself.. are you going to send the police to deal with me as well?

[bgturk]

Of course not. You probably ensure that your dogs are not a danger to the people around them.

But the ones on this video are stray dogs. Recently a British woman died in Bulgaria after being beaten by one of those. I have absolutely no sympathy for them.

[ehdkd]

You would be surprised what people consider dangerous or not. İ have seen adults, big men run away in fear at the sight of my 14 year old blind terrier. My 4 dogs are adopted strays.

So it is that perception of fear, irrational in most cases, that needs to be addressed, through education and this is why we are having this conversation.

Hundreds of people are bitten every year all around the world. The vast majority of cases it is the fault of the human, not the animal. Thousands die in Turkey every year in traffic accidents. Thousands. You are more likely to be assassinated by your own family that being bitten by a poor dog. Just look at the numbers and stop living in fear.

[ehdkd]

You speak of the stray dog like if it was a dangerous being. İf you want, one day, İ would be happy to show you this is not the case. İt would only take a few minutes...

I seriously cannot wait to get into animal rights enforcement. There are so many people that need to have the shit kicked out of them for things like this.

humans are bigger danger than animals.

La honte pour un pays qui a eu le culot de prétendre vouloir entrer dans l'Union Européenne! Ils sont trop peu évolués et n'en sont pas dignes. Vade retro satanas!
