🐶 Compassion and public safety are not opposites.

Humane handling, proper assessment, and collaboration with animal welfare groups protect everyone.

The Zonguldak dog deserved care, not cruelty.
Every dog does. 💔

Mayor Tahsin Erdem says the dog was taken for treatment.

But key questions remain:

🔹 Why use chemical restraint so freely?
🔹 Who oversees these teams?
🔹 Where’s the transparency or accountability?
🔹Why were there other sedated dogs in the van?

What’s worse, the dog was wearing a collar, proof it may have had an owner or caregiver.

Did anyone check for a microchip?
Did anyone try to find the owner?

❌ No attempt appears to have been made before the dog was taken away.

Officials said the dog was aggressive

But how is aggression assessed? 🤔

A frightened dog cornered by strangers with nets and syringes will naturally react in fear.

That’s not aggression it’s self-defence.

The carrier can go on or over the seat but not block aisles, exits, or crew movement.

Bigger pets in the cabin

Before, only small animals could fly with you.
Now, pets in suitable carriers can occupy a passenger seat, secured by seat belts or anchoring systems.

The pet + carrier may exceed the old limits, as long as it doesn’t surpass the max passenger weight.

We’re not fans of dogs in kennels 💔 though sometimes necessary, they’re no substitute for freedom, love, and space to just be dogs. 🐾

Every dog deserves room to run, play, and feel safe. What do you think?💛 #DogRescue #AnimalWelfare #AdoptDontShop #LetDogsBeDogs

The animals on the streets don’t choose the politics of their country.

Our duty is to help wisely with compassion guided by conscience.

True progress isn’t just about saving lives. It’s about protecting the values that make saving them matter. ❤️‍🩹

Walking away also has a price.

Disengagement can mean abandoning the animals and communities who need help most.

The answer lies in courage and caution: transparency, strict oversight, independence and the refusal to trade ethics for access.
