Unfortunatelly it is not easy to find them as there are many dark  scooters around [!]  Hope they will be caught soon, and we can put a pic of them here.

Many thanks everyone. We shall be going to the Jandarma office tomorrow to make a statement on the events so they have a true record and take the matter seriously. Unfortunately when they came to the beach everyone was talking at the same time and not in english. We know they did not get the true picture of the events, so we are taking our interpreter friend with us.The men on the scooter were blatently holding the gun like a cowboy on a horse so they must have been seen by someone. Its not an everyday event seeing men on a scooter holding a rifle.

Our beloved steet dog called Sybil was shot dead in front of us this morning in Koca Calis. She was following our car home when outside Mutlu's Restaurant 2 men on a scooter drove past and shot her. The Jandarma are looking for 2 men with high powered air rifle (posssibly pump action)They were on a dark coloured scooter.If anyone sees them in Koça Caliş or Caliş or surrounding area please take the number of the scooter or decription of the men . We would like to get them off the streets before they do anymore damage to animals or humans.

Please dont take this the wrong way, but what is the diferrence between a street dog and a wild dog, been here for a couple of years now i see dogs running about with no collar on starving with hunger, even on the the prom dogs are hanging about the restaurants, some have collars on , so im asuming the owners just let them out to run around, if they have owners why dont they look after them.

a street dog lives on the street and a wild dog lives in the wild Des and yes the ones with collars on are private dogs let loose to run around, the shelter has just been given the power to pick them up and neuter them.

Im really struggling to put into words how I feel about this news, really feel for you Quakers, such an awful thing to happen.
I really hope these people are caught, shocking to think theyre riding around on a scooter like this. What on earth goes through their minds?
So sick.

Des. Our street dog,Sybil, was at the dogs home originally. As she was a quiet placid dog they neutered and put a tag in her ear and placed her in our area. We did not have a street dog till then. She became our friend when she joined us for walks with our dogs. We looked after her for 4 years. We fed her twice a day ,wormed and fibrolined her .We also made sure she had all her injections every year as she mixed with our dogs. She trusted us but was a free spirit and would only stay in with us during storms and cold weather. She was a good neigbourhood watch dog and would bark if there was anyone strange roaming our area at night.She was naughty and chased cars(only turkish ones, she could read number plates)we reckon she was a traffic cop in a previous life as they had to be going fast before she chased them. Our neighbours ,Turkish and English, are shocked that she has been shot as they all loved her.
