Turkey is known for its love and care for animals. But the picture with regards to animal’s rights hasn’t always been rosy. Only last week, at least 17 dogs were poisoned to death in Istanbul, prompting protests by animal rights activists who called for stricter legislation. Now the Turkish parliament has passed a new law pertaining to the protection of animal rights. But are legislations or stricter punishments enough to protect animal rights?
