I read this on the Animal Aid F.B. Page and also from one of the members.  I think it is so horrible to make animals suffer by poisoning them. 
Glad the word is out on CBF.   I wish the Animal Aid would come back and post here too.

I was also going to post about this. The dog that has died so far was a beautiful golden retriever, a loved pet. It was being cared for by friends whilst the owner is in Antalya caring for a dying parent - it's just awful. There have also been cats poisoned near Huzerevi. Those of you with pets in the area take care and I'm very pleased we brought a rescued street cat back to the UK with us in September. He used to visit the villa and now I know he has so much better a life here.

You would think that with news as grave as this that they would have been posting warnings wherever they could, not just CBF.

All dog owners/lovers need this heads up - and not all dog lovers are on Facebook. A 5 second copy & paste of whatever they post on FB would be all it takes, not half an hour's work. You would imagine that to be time well spent if it saved a single dog's life - but incredbly they don't have time according to one of them on Facebook.

I agree Scunner.  Andy was great at posting for A.A.  The information was always well received.  I think A.A. are particularly missing out on their Charity Events by not posting here.  F.B. Seems to attract mostly ex-pats and there are many tourists who visit Calis regularly and are members here who would visit their Charity events and also,I am sure, donate generously to them, if they knew they existed and saw adverts for them here on CBF.  Some of the stories on F.B are heart breaking and I know CBF has some great members who would help out with donations if they got the chance.
I read recently A.A are in financial difficulty and if I was on the committee for A.A. I would be taking every free avenue I could to advertise and raise some funds.  It would take minutes to copy and paste from F.B to CBF.

Animal Aid are stretched almost to breaking point at the moment.    Though not an Animal Aid volunteer, I am a supporter and will endeavour wherever possible to let folks know on here of forthcoming events in the charities section.

My heart bleeds for them.

Someone made a choice in respect of how they communicate with supporters etc.  Wrong....

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I'm responding to Scunner and Jacquie's remarks by offering to post AA's forthcoming events as and when they occur.
