In footage recorded by volunteers in front of the Gebze Municipality Stray Animal Treatment, Rehabilitation and Education Center, a large number of dogs and cats were found dead, discarded in trash bags inside a container. Animal rights activists who opened the trash bags stated that the bodies of the killed animals were still warm and that some were still struggling for life. A rights advocate who also works as a local volunteer alleged that a total of 30 dogs and 13 cats were killed using a drug called "Keta-Control".
