Title: Stray Dogs A Problem
Post by: Denise40 on August 28, 2012, 05:41:15 AM
There are now quite a few stray dogs on the streets of Uzumlu, hanging around PO Petrol Station, Orka Houses, early this morning there was a hugh fight and gun shots, plus they are now a mence if you are trying to take your own dog for a walk, plus they are barking and howling at night and setting other owned dogs off, one is a large kangal, couple of terrier type dogs and other mixed breeds, certainly not helped by holiday makers feeding them! We have told them to go and play in another street but they are not taking any notice!!

Anyway I understand that now and again stray dogs are be collected in the dog catcher van, but is there anywhere to request this?

Thanks :o

Wild Boar Hickock now involved!! came charging out of the forest last night to confront the assembled pack of mangy mutts, but retreated in the face of a barrage of canine noise to rival the OK Corral on a friday night. not to be bested the dogs continued the barrage all night so not much sleep for us, so hoping they take the night off or clear off somewhere else tonight.
More seriously we've been informed by a reliable source that at least some of the "strays" are actually owned by non-Turkish residents who thoughtfully turn their "pets" out for the night. If true then they should hang their heads in shame.
Has there been any feedback from the shelter ref. rounding them up? (the dogs not their owners, although......). Also has the Zabita any responsibility in this? If so should we organise a chat with Rashid on Monday?

Apparently the Zabita have promised to Springer into action. Rashid will be busy on Monday but his Deputy-Dawg, Al Satian, will be available to see you.  ;D

Hmm, it sounds more of a Turkish trait.  But if it IS non Turkish residents, I hope they are hauled over the coals.

on a more serious note...

Emre is seeking permission from the Belediye to send the truck up there and round them up

What happened regarding the dogs, did they get picked up.

Don't think so, the big injured Kangal is still around, has collar on now and being fed I think by the German family.

But because holiday makers have gone from nearby villas they don't seem to be hanging around here all the time.

Apart from waiting for the go ahead from Uzumlu to allow us to pick the dogs up,if the dogs are causing a nuisance there is nothing to stop anyone in Uzumlu putting the dogs in their cars and taking to the shelter, just let them know you found them in the Fethiye area.

Yes.

Is this a cryptic or a caustic reply ?  Perhaps both   :-\

Update: The large Kangal now has a collar on, and our car wouldn't be big enough to put him inside! plus trying to fight with him to get him in - I think not!!

The small terrier dog I have been told was being fed for 3 weeks by british holiday makers so he hasn't been around, but the resident British neighbours didn't like him being fed and hanging around so apparently shot him with a catapult!!
And they wonder why no one likes them!

I don't know anymore than this.

The kangol has now been neutered and is being looked after by Tina Kosuch although it is essentially now a street dog

Denise, are you talking about a little brown & white terrier?
I posted a pic on Animal Aid re this dog as she has been staying outside our house for approx 3 weeks now. She spends a lot of time under our car in the shade and we are feeding/watering her. She's no bother, but obviously not an ideal situation and she deserves the chance of a home. Anyone interested?
