The Kocaeli Governor's Office's letter sent to municipalities, which included the phrase "Stray dogs whose harm to the environment cannot be prevented should be killed," has sparked public debate.
Famous singer Tarkan reacted to this situation.
Tarkan used the following expressions:
"Killing stray animals is not a solution. Municipalities need to approach the issue of stray animals with more conscientious and logical solutions.
Stray animals can be brought under control through systematic neutering and by increasing the number of shelters.
Massacres do not suit us; solutions we find by putting our hands on our hearts do."
