In a now-viral image current throughout Turkish social media, 2 young men cause with pride next to a cowering dog with bloody stumps for ears, every man holding what seems to be a dog ear in his hand.
According to Turkish news, the try area unit suspected to be concerned in dogfighting, and were reportedly toilsome one in all their losing dogs.
The Turkish simplyice system has currently let the lads off with a fine of just over what's such as $1,000 U.S. dollars. And no jail time.
This lax penalization isn't acceptable for inflicting such criminal hurt on associate animal.
These comfort station shockingly light-weight sentence isn't even near proportional to the pain associated suffering they mindlessly inflicted on an innocent animal — including the multiple dogs presumptively forced to tear one another to shreds in fights staged for human recreation.
Animals don't seem to be toys. they're not property. they need thoughts and feelings, as insured by analysis demonstrating that dogs area unit even as sentient as a person's kid. What’s a lot of, cruelty to animals is irrefutably joined to cruelty to people in general.
This incident of grossly savage treatment highlights the imperative want for the Turkish government to go back their animal cruelty laws. Please sign this petition currently to turn Turkey's Ambassador to the u. s., Serdar Kılıç, to advocate for stronger penalization for animal abuse. Dogs like this merit justice, and animal torture should be treated just like the serious crime that it really is.
