'Remove'? The 'massacre' law permits ALL stray dogs who cannot be rehomed to be killed. There are an estimated 4 million stray dogs, and & 322 Turkish shelters can accommodate only 105,000. The maths isn't hard. There will be a massacre. @domdyer70

Distressing images showing stray dogs being forced into shelters emerging from Turkey. There are an estimated 4 million strays and 300 shelters with a capacity of 105,000 animals. An estimated 3 million 895 thousand could be euthanised due to overpopulation.

I love Turkish names. It’s always fun when non-Turkish friends ask about the literal translation of my full-name. Here it is: young & fresh (Melda), queen (Ece), from the family of a cabbage farmer (Kelemcisoy) Yes, even my name is #veganfriendly . I’m a cabbage queen.

UK academia’s silence is deafening & sickens me. The term ‘decolonise’ is used widely in academia without acknowledging the most blatant forms of colonial oppression. This is genocide & ethnic cleansing. It’s time for all UK unis to issue a statement of solidarity with Palestine.
