But it has drawn outrage in a country where a committed cadre of citizens have long cared for street animals, leaving food and water on the stoops and corners of Turkey's cities, towns and villages, in a practice that dates back hundreds of years.
In Istanbul, animals are protected by humans, yes, and they are treated with affection, but they are fundamentally respected. Living ``parallel lives,'' their routines to not run along their owners' routines -- they have no owner. Rather, their lives are separate from, and unbothered by, the lives of humans.
Cats became ubiquitous during the Ottoman empire initially as a way to deal with rats and mice. But the more important reason that Turks are impartial to felines is because the Islamic faith prohibits persecuting or killing cats. Since Turkey is a predominantly Muslim country, cats enjoy freedom all over the city.
* The law dictates that all unadopted stray dogs be kept in shelters — and euthanized if they are aggressive or have untreatable disease. * Practitioners fear the euthanasia provisions will be interpreted loosely, not least due to a lack of shelter capacity.
In Istanbul, which I visited before traveling to eastern Turkey, cats are welcome not just in cafes but in houses, restaurants, hotels, and bars. Kedi, a 2016 documentary by Ceyda Torun, featured the everyday lives of several of these community cats who are owned by no one but cared for by many.
Animal welfare laws vary depending on where you plan to visit but some of the most highly rated countries for animal welfare include Austria, Switzerland, Kenya, India and Tanzania. Keep reading to find out more about animal rights and regulations laws in each country and how the animals are protected.
It's a city where cats and dogs are not just pets or strays, but integral parts of the community loved and respected by all. As the Turkish proverb goes, “A cat at your doorstep means your home is healthy,” symbolizing the deep-rooted belief in the positive influence of these animals on human life.
So, here are a few tips on how to approach them: Try to be considerate when trying to pet a cat. Some are very friendly to humans, but some prefer to be left alone. You might try to crouch down, get on the cat's level, and slowly bring your hand to its nose for sniffing.
One Hadith quotes Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as saying: “A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious as a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being.”
Generally, every street in Istanbul has cats that are familiar to locals. In these streets, tiny "cat houses" have been prepared for stray cats. Neighborhood residents place food and water containers in front of their houses to feed stray cats.
