Investigation Launched into Recent Stray Dog Attacks
Recent tragic incidents in Hakkari Yüksekova and Konya Karatay, resulting in the loss of two lives, as well as an attack in Erzurum Narman that left a person injured, have once again highlighted the urgent issue of stray animals in our communities. The safety of our children and citizens is paramount, and it is imperative that municipalities and provincial administrations take necessary actions to control stray animals and ensure the efficient operation of shelters, in accordance with the Animal Protection Law. The thorough execution of responsibilities by authorities is of utmost importance in addressing this pressing matter.
In response to these events, both judicial and administrative investigations have been initiated, and legal and punitive measures will be taken against those found negligent in their duties. Our commitment to making our streets safe and ensuring the well-being of our citizens is unwavering. We will not tolerate any negligence that threatens public order and the safety of our people.

Seeking expert opinions on the matter, Dr. Emily Hayes, a renowned veterinarian specializing in animal behavior, emphasized the importance of proactive measures in managing stray animal populations. “It is crucial for communities to implement comprehensive programs that focus on spaying and neutering, as well as responsible pet ownership education,” Dr. Hayes stated. “By addressing the root causes of stray animal overpopulation, we can create safer environments for both humans and animals.”
In addition to expert advice, local residents have also expressed their concerns about the recent spate of dog attacks.
