Have tlked long and hard with Jackie who,s dog died and Sercan and although we are getting a meeting arranged with Kerametin to talk about the problem we feel enough is enough, and no one will do anything until we go onmass, so we are going to try to arrnage a meeting of all animal owners in Ovacik, Hisaranou and surrounding areas to get together womewhere and then all go together to try and find a solution. These people need educating to realise what they are doing is wrong and also against the law. The problem is apathy.
If you all don,t mind, if we can find somewhere and sometime we need all your support. I am lucky, Aysa is going to live Rain never had a chance. Also it is the whole ecosystrem which suffers, eagles, foxes, cats etc. Cull the wildboar if need be

Yes you can count us in. We will attend any meeting that is organised.

As someone who looked after a staff for three months at the start of the year,and my girlfriend having had dogs for years,i also think some owners need to look at the way they have and are allowing their dogs to bark at all hours too.Have had this discussion on a thread before,but a good dog should bark on approaching strangers,and be able to be told to stop.Most of the first 6 months out here this year was tainted by dogs(english owned) barking at all hours of the morning.Back home,the council would serve notice,and then the dog would be removed.Its tragic whats happening out here,but i think everyone needs to get their shop in order.Our staff was walked on a lead,we took bags for toilet,and she never barked.She bothered no-one.

The jandarma told people to take on a dog to warn of burglars trying to break in. Do they work?
-
I personally think a good alarm system is best,with passives and audible door alarms etc.90 decibels plus unexpectedly in some toe-rags ear tryng to break in should do the trick.Dogs can be poisoned etc,as has been proven.

So dogs owned by Turks or any other nationality do not bark. I suppose it is the bulldog in the Brits that cause them to bark.

Lets not take this thread down the wrong road!! Nothing to do with the bulldog in the brits!!! All dogs bark! We are talking from personal experience in around where we live. So it has nothing to do with nationalities. This is all very tragic for the owners of these dogs and something has got to be done on both sides.

I was trying to make the point without being rude that the statement that it is only dogs owned by the English bark at night was totally ridiculous and stupid. Maybe I should have been more blunt. I meant no offence to the people whose dogs have been poisoned.
I was the first to reply to Ovaciksarah's initial comment and I will help to do anything to get this issue highlighted.

Tetmeister here.I never said that there aren't turkish owned dogs that bark out here,but where I live it has been predominately english owned dogs barking at all hours.It wasn't ridiculous and stupid,it was factual and correct.In what way were you going to be more blunt........?

Many thanks for the support, not from the people who change subject yet again to go over the same thing as barking dogs. Thanks Ovacikspeedoff good to meet you. We have rung 179 and Arzu was brilliant, taking to the highest power. If not sorted at Maugla will be taken to Anchora. On the other subject of barking, yes, I allow my dogs to bark at night with the support of my complex, as they only bark when strangers are passing, and I,m glad to say none of us have been burgled, or attempted to, no one listens to alarms, same as in England, people just complain that they have kept them awake.

Early in the year I saw wild boar quite often whilst walking my dogs. They have litters of about six to eight and live in groups of about twenty or thirty.Luckily we all wanted to avoid meeting and went our respective ways. The male has huge tusks and I would not want to meeat a female at close quarters either.
If poisoning is illegal and the marksmen cannot hit a barn door I am wondering what the powers that be can do? It takes a really high powered rifle to shoot one of these animals and if one was injured it would be even more dangerous.

Sorry, back to the subject again, Jackie and I have talked, after over 2 weeks, still waiting for a meeting with Keramettin, supposed to be yesterday, but he cancelled, so now we need a petition to give to him to show him how the English, and quite a few Turkish feel.
Today, hunters with 6 dogs up mountain, know it,s closed season but hope they get a couple of wild boar. One dead a couple of days ago in mountain, disappeared, but from smell, what was left was hidden, someone had cooked and eaten most of it, just leaving head and legs..

I know pet dogs have been advised re burglaries for us English folk. Can I just say that an alarm (mentioned earlier) yes its like England where you here one going off and noone does anything about it!!!. What I can say fron personal knowledge...an alarm may be ignored by a few neighbours... that s not the point. If an alarm goes off in your property the burglar isnt gonna take the risk that noone wil come. They dont know the set up. Its been prooved in England. I have a home alarm, not attached to any high tech system... if a burglar heres a sound device, he or she, wont risk stopping there...they dont know what you have in place i.e attached to a police station, neighboue etc etc. I think alarms are the way forward....and a pet dog that hlps with that...then all the better. If I lived in O full time I would have an alarm firstly and a pet barker as a secondary device !!!:D
