Turkey's top court upholds controversial law on culling of stray dogs

  • Turkey's Constitutional Court upheld a law mandating municipalities to capture and manage stray dogs on Wednesday in Ankara.
  • The law, introduced last year in response to public safety issues stemming from dog attacks, faced criticism for allegedly infringing on protections for animals and fundamental life rights.
  • The legislation requires shelters to vaccinate, neuter, and offer dogs for adoption while allowing euthanasia for dangerous or terminally ill animals, sparking protests and legal challenges.
  • Animal rights advocates condemned the law as a "massacre law" causing indiscriminate killings and cautioned it breaches international standards on animal welfare.
  • The court's decision may increase enforcement pressure on financially strained municipalities, raising concerns about widespread culling and insufficient shelter resources.
