A DEATH CAMP-BUYUKADA ANIMAL SHELTER

The animal shelter of Buyukada (One of the Princess Islands) is situated by the seaside. The shelter is located on a slope above the sea which means the shelter is vulnerable to the sharp north winds.There is garbage all around the place ( I had spent one hour at the animal shelter after which,I picked up a flu).

The veterinarian of the Islands Municipality doesn't go to Buyukada for taking care of the dogs that are badly ill with infections as you will see in the photos.
Some of the dogs get to eat a material used to build roofs in the forest (could be plasterboard). Some of them eat in the shelter, again, this kind of material. And then there is also this red washtub, serving as a food bowl. Briefly, there are only three food bowls for serving food for hundreds of dogs at the shelter. The food they get to eat is as follows: The moldy, rotten bread. That's only it.

The shelter is all the way at the top of a mountain. They say, the corpse of the dead dogs are being chucked away at the Maltepe junkyard. The animals are covered with scabs. The sickness has become so bad that the animal bodies are full of bloody wounds. The wounds are all inflected. Believe me, its horrible down in the Princess Island shelter.

The animal care giver of the shelter; lives in a very uncivilised conditions. The water leaks in from the outside. The animal care giver of the shelter lets 8 dogs in his hut for protecting them from the cold windy weather. Dogs are ill with infections they are moaning in pain.He discovered scabs on them and placed them in the washtubs in his room. The animal care giver of the shelter says he got scabs from them. He says, he itches horribly.The living conditions of this poor man also must change for the human.

The dog cages which you will see in the pictures have been supplied by the volunteers. Unfortunately, these dog cages are not adequate enough to protect the poor dogs from the harsh winds.
All kinds, big or small, are freely strolling around. The problem is the stronger ones are pestering and ill-treating the weaker ones.

Previously, 47 stray dogs have been murdered, in Heybeliada,(One of the other Princess Islands) at the Akcakoca Location. Subsequent to that, 13 stray dogs have been killed in Buyuk Ada. This information has been obtained on Thursday, from the sellers at the bazaar.

Unfortunately, Animal Protection Law Number 5199 isn't being applied!
