(TR) Shelter at Edirne, Turkey - Protest

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

This call for action I received from a befriended Turkish organisation.

 

Please have a look at the images and send your protest to the Turkish

authorities.

 

Sadly what you see here is still the norm in that country.

 

Regards,

 

Diana

SAMPLE LETTER:

 

Dear Mister Governor,

Dear Sirs,

 

Once again we have got sad and terrible news of a violent and unnecessary

situation in your land, about an animal-shelter in Edirne.

There is no denying the fact that the animals in this shelter are treated and

kept in a terrible and undignified situation.

We saw pictures of these poor creatures in this shelter and we are

horrified about the brutality against defenseless animals.

The animals get neither water nor feed, some are frozen to death and most of

the animals must die in pain.

This should not have happend, because animal-protectors donated five

heating elements,so that the animals should not die from cold.

However, the heating elements are installed, but they are not used. And the

animals must die because of cold temperatures.

 

Obviously you don`t want to admit the requests of the animals-protectors for the

life of the strays.

 

Again and again dogs are cruelly executed in your land and they must fear for

their lives.

We won`t accept how animals are treated in shelters, on the road or

wilderness.

Everywhere they are pursued, hunted and cruelly killed.

You can be sure, that we will inform permanently every civilized land about your

accomplished atrocities.

 

This cruel treatment against animals in Turkey must be stopped....at once.

 

It is inconceivable for us that your country should belong to the EU as long as

your cultural tradition contains these horrible crimes against animals.

 

In Europe it isn`t tradition to kill animals in such cruel ways!!

The whole civilized world will be informed how Turkish humans violate animals.

It`s one of the biggest disgraces and it isn`t conducive for your land !!

Actually we wanted to spend our holidays in Turkey, but under these

circumstances we will give up on it and we will inform our friends and

relatives to do the same.

We don´t want to spend our holidays in a land where the rights of animals, like

in the Middle Ages, are ignored.

We would appreciate an answer.

 

Sincerely
