I have been asked to post this on behalf of the people involved, in order to raise awareness to the problem. Please read.

After our dear friend Julia passed away, it was 'Eddie' that kept Adam having to get out of the house, which was good and therapeutic. The b.....rd that poisened 'eddie' has no idea what he has done! What is wrong with these people! The nature of mankind, can be measured by the way they treat those who are weaker than themselves. Whoever did this horrible act, just proven to be inhumane. I hope - when they catch him - they will punish him accordingly!
-
Is there a reason behind these acts - like are they dogs that bark at night or something, or is it just indiscriminate cruelty?
-
This happens every year in Ovacik, and elsewhere - the most likely explanation is that the poison is put down to kill the wild boar.
It isn't nice and we too lost our lovely Jale who adopted us when we moved to a new house. I was convinced at the time that it was deliberate poisoning but came to realise later that it probably wasn't.
I think within a space of a few days four maybe five dogs were all poisoned.
The only thing to do is to make sure that dogs are kept on leads at all times - that is the law now anyway, and ensure they don't eat anything when out.
-
In most cases it just total thoughtlessness. They put the poison down mainly to kill boar and polecats. They don't give any thought to the possibility that dogs are also likely to pick it up. And, as dogs have very little value in their lives, they'll continue to do so even though it's illegal.
We lost 2 dogs to poisoning whilst in Kaya. We also lost 30 odd Turkey chicks to polecats and it's pretty certain that our dogs died as a result of one of our neighbours putting down poison to protect their livestock.
-
They also don't seem to give a damn as to where they put it for their own children playing, That alone sums up the total bloody stupidity of some people.

Well having lived in Ovacik for over 12 years, I had a stunning kangol bitch from the Turkish national vets university in Konya, the idea was to get the pure breed back into the national dog of Turkey, I had to wait 16 months for my baby and she was a stunner, after 14 months of me and her getting to know each other some scum bag poisoned her by attaching a pellet of poison to a piece of meat and throwing it into my garden, she (my Elsa) was treated like a daughter, she was a pet and one of the family kept indoors of a night and treated like a lady (which she was),she never barked at night, was never a problem to any of my neighbours (my plot in Ovacik is over 2,0000sqm) why some scum bag did this I do not know, if there was a problem with me or my family they only had to speak to me and it would have been sorted, but being the coward scum that whoever killed my baby took the easy way out, I can honestly say that I have never seen a boar with its stiff legs up in the air after being poisoned in Ovacik 8) so IMHO its just coward scum that's doing it 8)

Totally agree with you BM06. Scumbags and I also think there is a huge amount of jealousy involved. It makes me so angry, our Kangal was shot by the stupid old *stard who lived near us, then totally denied having a gun when the jandarma questioned him,, I felt like going round and stuffing the gun up his ****!then telling him to deny he had it!
It's a great pity we did not have a similar attitude when his horse used to break free and head straight for our garden, but being civilised we just used to keep an eye on it until one of his family realised the bloody thing had gone.
-
Made me so sad to read all of your posts.To lose a family pet is hard enough but to lose one through another persons greed,jealousy or stupidity must be heartbreaking.I'm not surprised you are all furious with the situation and agree with the above posts.Yes,all of them,even Ceni's.
-
So sorry to hear that your lovely Kangal was poisoned. It must have been heart breaking for you.
-
No, no. The Kangal was shot, but she recovered and is now living near Datca. 2 other dogs of ours were poisoned.
-
I think Daffodil was talking about BM06's kangol

Those who feed livestock ( as KKOB mentioned ) are always "usual suspects" for me. Their pets are mainly chicken and their brains do not work better than chicken brains. Instead of keeping their chicken in their gardens , they leave them on the streets and try to destroy everything that approaches them. So , be carefull if chicken are around.
