AEGEAN NEWSPAPER

A lot of these 'hard' dogs are nothing of the sort - the car chasers are a prime example. As you drive off they are there, snarling up at you, running along like a crazed beast. Try slamming the brakes on and holding a stare with them - they haven't a clue what to do and slope off sheepishly

There are 3 dogs in my street that are not street dogs, but left in the street by their owners.  These dogs regularly chase cyclist and pedestrians ( scooters and cars too). This can be a harrowing experience for youngsters and adults who have a fear of dogs. The impression I get from the animal lovers is that there is no problem; this is not the case and if any of them would like to take a walk along 1005 Sokak, they will be able to verify what I have said ( unless they are lucky - there was a strange absence of dogs for a few days a month or so ago ).

God help The editor .... I use that term very loosely of course.....lol

[Ovacikpeedoff]

I love dogs and to prove it we rehomed a Turkish street dog and when we returned to the UK we brought it back with us and spent 7 months in France to get a pet passport.One of our dogs need to sneeze and it is off to the vet.

It is all well and good to say that these dogs are harmless but it only takes one to turn and a child could be seriously injured. Due to rabies a dog bite in Turkey has to be taken seriously. Irresponsible owners who let their dogs ramble the streets should be prosecuted. Some bar and restaurant owners think having a cute dog will attract the British tourist.When winter comes the dogs are shot or abandoned. A number of CBF members do sterling work in protecting animal rights and the situation has got much better over the years.

I have not read what this editor of the paper has said but I as I understand it he is having a pop at Calis and using the dogs as the stick. I would have had much more support for him if he kept to the issue of street dogs because it is not just limited to Fethiye. I have seen dogs rambling around other resorts and towns. It is a countrywide issue.

Dear Ed,[removed] ,did you ever work for the Murdoch empire

Do you know David the editor? have you ever met him? I suspect not he is a good bloke who does a lot to help charities behind the scenes.
 Again a senior member is allowed to make remarks that are against forum etiquette, and hide behind a forum name without even a picture.
 If you think that of him go to his office and tell him.

Mark that is entirely unfair and incorrect. "Senior members" are not allowed to break forum rules more than newcomers. I missed the remark earlier as I occasionally have a life of my own and wasn't here. I have removed the comment and will have a quiet word with Ron. If there is one thing that really irritates me it is the belief of some that the opinions of members are evidence of failings of the CBF. They are not.

We have let this topic run as it appears to be adults discussing a situation. If we need to lock every disagreement that happens on here we will become a total farce, and it won't be happening.

The street dogs here are ok as they are usually very placid due to their lifestyle But there are too many dogs with owners who let them roam free, When I am walking my dogs I have no problems with the street dogs as they are very subordinate But the dogs that have owners can be very aggresive and territorial to us They are the dogs that have to be controlled and the problem addressed


So sorry but I agree with the Aegean There are too many nasty dogs here roaming the streets Esp when there is a bitch on heat roaming

Yes Mark I do know David and my remarks stand and I WILL tell him to his face when I see him, I am not known for hiding behind a computer. Also my picture is there for all to see.

He certainly is doing a lot for the charities behind the scene's, Putting people off coming to Fethiye/Calis. Not very pro-active is it.

I also had to edit my first reply, before Kieth did.

Just another point, Why did these people who do not like dogs in a restaurant take THEIR dog to the restaurant.

There are loads of horrible dogs in Calis, when we were in Fethiye I never had a problem with them. The problems are the ones that have owners that dont look after them properly.
My friend was walking home from my place last week and a dog walked up behind her and bit her on the back of the leg

did she report to anybody? it can be solved if there is a bad one about, we just need someone to report it and it can be collected off the street

Keith I did not mean to imply Ron's remarks were a reflection on the forum, he just happened to be a senior member..
Baz I am not defending the articles written in the paper, I was commenting on the type of language used by Ron, I am sure you will make your feelings known to him
