Breakfast at Kargi

[Jacqui Harvey]

Know it is not Calis, but it is close by.
Went yesterday, to the Kargi Museum for breakfast with Jim and Helen Fraser,  never been before, but would highly recommend it. Fabulous big breakfast, with more helpings being put out all the time.  Lovely setting for a restaurant.   We also visited the Sausage man just down the road from the place.
Different world today back at home and raining!!!   Will be back for another breakfast in September.

I will never give this place any of my custom after the appalling way they neglected their donkeys which thanks to the efforts of Animal Aid were relocated to Nif.  What makes it worse is that their donkeys are still neglected.  Ask to see them next time you visit and make your own mind up. 

[Jacqui Harvey]

There are no donkey's there as far as we could see.  We were  told that they had been given away to someone who knows how to look after them properly.  It was explained to us that he got the donkeys and did not know how to look after them, it was ignorance on his part.
I saw his poultry and as an ex poultry keeper myself, I thought they all seemed to be well looked after, well feed and some of the best poultry I had seen in the area.

That was the excuse they trotted out the first time round but it didn't stop them keeping more donkeys so that they could make profit by selling their milk and it has been documented on other Fethiye forums that these donkeys are also kept in appalling conditions.  You,in fact asked the question on this forum about their welfare at the beginning of the year, so it was obviously a concern for you.
As for poultry keeping and donkey keeping.....there's a vast amount of difference.

I did ask  the question, which is why I asked it again this year.  We did take a look around the place and saw no donkeys and no milk was for sale.
I agree keeping donkeys and keepoing poultry is totally different  however poultry and donkeys are all animals and living creatures  that still need care and attention  I have seen some terrible thin looking chickens around the area, with signs of illnesses inherent in poultry. The ones at Kargi are the best I have seen, well feed and well looked after.  They reminded me of the ones we used to keep.
I thnk you must be an animal lover, so if you are concerned, please go up and ask, as I did and have a look around for yourself.      They will let you look around, you don't have to buy anything.

No doubt you mean well, but I find you incredibly patronising.  Yes, I am an animal lover....

How are they still being neglected if there aren't any there?

Haven't been back since we worked with animal aid to move the poor souls about 3 years ago.
He promised not to get any more, last I heard there's 7 and the babies aren't getting the milk which is being sold as a cancer cure for 80tl a litre.
HAYTAP have been  recently been informed, and said they would go along and see what's going on.
If anyone goes there please could they go right around the back and report back as to whether they're still there please, I don't want Haytap having a wasted journey, thanks.
