A very young puppy neutered, ripped off his earing. Instead of leaving the dog to his
neighbourhood after rehabilitating which is the fundamental duty of the municipalities, they
left hundreds of dogs to the woods of Istanbul and these dogs fight for their lives. Most of
them lost this war at the beginning of their lives.

The woods of the years 2000 are like the versions in the tragedy of the unfaithful island.
It is so meaningless. The most domestic, friendly living creatures of the world are thrown in
the woods as they are wild animals.

They try to survive with the foods which some animal lovers give once or twice a week.
They naturally have the risk crushed under a truck to get that food.
The doggy in the photo we named KARAM, has the same destiny.
An animal lover rescues him and brings him here to yedikule shelter. When we ask him why
he came to a shelter far away from the accident, he says WE TRUST YOU as usual
.
And I am asking WHOM WILL WE TRUST? We wrote that we are out of stock for 4 days. We
need milk, pasta, food and other stuff and nobody answered. (Only 9 people responded in 4
days) Only people calling themselves animal lovers
whom I, as a person having mercy and conscience, accepted their dogs to Yedikule give
support to us, our storages were full of food, milk, etc.
Some people have fish memory.

They forget easily. However, we care the dogs they abondoned and WE CANNOT FORGET.
How can we forget when they ask for food, medicine, love or cleaning. They never let them
to be forgotten.

I believe that we, Yedikule volunteers should not be the only ones.
Everybody can do something, just want to do it.
Poor KARAM who was crushed under a car for a piece of food was in shock and first aid
treatment was done immediately.
When we saw him alive next morning, we sent him to the clinic for x-ray and other
investigations.

Unfortunately, his spine was broken. He can move his forearms but legs were paralysed.
Karam was another paralysed dog.

So what should I do? It is not my problem or I am only responsible for my own district.
We have full capacity, take care of yourself. Are these more suitable words? I guess so .
I am sorry but noone will left the dogs to Yedikule anymore becuse my answer will be NO.
