@Hoàng Nguyên Đậu Sadly you are pretty ignorant indeed as Greeks weren't native Anatolians at all rather they invaded Anatolia exactly same as Turks!! At least learn some history please before claiming anything...
@Hoàng Nguyên Đậu I wonder why then your native Greeks were still allowed to live there?
@The Equalizer You mean left?
Yes they left, it was after WW1 where both Turkey and Greeks massacred each other
In 1995 we spent three heavenly weeks in Turkey. The humans were so so friendly! And the cats in Istanbul were just amazing. What a country!! So beautiful and rich culturally. I am very lucky to have the chance to visit. Thank you and be well Turks! From Olympic Peninsula, washington state, usa.
Come again!
You should visit Turkey again if you can

Turkish people will always have a special place in my heart for the compassion they have for animals, they are so loving and charitable towards them. They feed stray animals and have even built shelters for them. The animals you see there seem to be so healthy and happy.
I wish the entire world was so beautiful!
Unfortunately, there are some people that killa stray animals i love animals
Why thank'chu LELZ I appreciate how other country's peeps think 'bout mah Turkey it is heart-melting :3 Welp sadly our president doesn't takes care of our democracy now I can't tell how I've missed Atatürk :c ngl our president for now basically hates on Atatürk who brought our freeness and fought for no matter wot in order to save our lives. His biggest mistake was leaving the world when he was so young :CC

Just back from turkey... And not only in istanbul, people in every city in turkey treat cats, dogs, birds like their own community... So, it's normal when animals, especially cats and dogs in turkey like to go near and don't be affraid to ask pet to humans... People treat them well, and they also kind and like acting cute to humans... And they're mostly don't seem like usual "stray", mostly cleaner, healthier, fatter, happier than any other stray in other countries ❤️
How wonderful to read this.
Turkey's street animals are the friendliest I've ever seen 😀
So it's especially sad to read about their earthquake... hope Turkey and Syria stay strong. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The problem isn't the loving cat part, it's the locals not believing in neutering part. They let the cats multiply which leads to this uncontrollable cat overpopulation. No matter how well the locals take care of them, there's a lot of starvation, illnesses, injuries, abuse, and freezing in winter. The Turkish people need to neuter the cats if they value them. Videos like this paint a rosy picture and is one-sided
Not the same in china, huh ?
The cats from where I live cannot stop talking about moving to Turkey
😂😂😂😂 nice one 🙏

I have been in Turkey on vacation many times. I have always been met with great hospitality and kindness and smile. Turkish people have opened their home and cooked us dinner. I love their food. I love how they take care of the street animals and the respect they show the elderly family members.

turks are non arab they are a central asian country with more likeness to the mongolian...they are people with golden hearts for animals...unlike the hypocrite western people...
Being an Animal in Turkey is a blessing. other nations should bend on their knees and follow this amazing country.
Being a stray cat in Turkey is a privilege. Turks are very kind hearted people 💗
Thanks 😁👍
This is absolutely beautiful. How they have medical services, solely set up to treat street animals. Great job Turkey.
Better, yet, the compassionate veterinarians are spaying and neutering the cats as well as treating any illness, free of charge! 🐈😺
Before ERDOGAN we don’t have this kind of stuff but media shows him bad but he loves animal to
That shocked me. Maybe im living in a third world city, but i never seen an ambulance dedicated to animals that you can call... amazing. Before i die, i want to go to Turkey.
Cats and Istanbul are truly inseparable.
@Erx Planning on moving to Turkey? No, that's not me. I think you must have been mistaken. And as far as I remember I've never spoken about that to anyone.
@Erx Yes, I would really love to when I'm financially ready. But wait, did I tell you about that? And when?
@Erx I don't quite remember about that. As for where I live, I prefer myself to remain anonymous. Don't be misled by my username and profile picture (that's for sure). Those are just fictitious ones.
Turkey is now on my must visit list, when I go there I will ensure to carry a bag of ‘go cat’ treats & dog biscuits. I guess I will have busy time feeding strays.
Lol it would be fun time
lol you would make dog friends and they will keep following you like a pack leader :D
I'd now rather visit Turkey 🇹🇷 than even the Vatican.
It's about love, compassion for the voiceless rather than religion, art and history, which Turkey is very rich in, anyway.
BRAVO, awesome Turkish People.
BIG HUG 🤗🤗to every one of you. 🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹
Türkiyede hayvanlar başı boş değil onlar türkiyenin gerçek sahipleri
Dear Brothers and Sisters of Turkey, I Love You! You are the most beautiful people on Earth!
Turkey seems a good place to study veterinary
I think better to study where the cats have less care. By treating them.
Turkish society is just amazing. Such boundless compassion.
My biggest respect for Turkish people for helping animals!!!!👍👏👍🇵🇱❤🇹🇷
Me, my wife and my daughter love adopting stray cats and now we've got 10 lovely cats. We'd really love to visit Turkey just for their cats.

US citizens cannot afford an ambulance for themselves but in Turkey cats have their free ambulances. tells you a lot.
SUBHANALLAH...May the whole world see the real kindness and generosity of the Turkish people!!!
I have been to Turkey twice for extended stays...from Istanbul to the Hatay region, Antakya & Samandag. It is the same...the people are wonderful! And this extends down to the cats on the street... I miss the family I love in Samandag... Enjoy & cherish the great country you live in! May Allah bless you!
We love Turkey so much. We have been there 3 times. Cats were everywhere. We saw an old man feeding cats along bosphorus. Masha Allah. People were friendly and kind. Very rich in Islamic history.
Turkish people, I'm just soooooo proud of them for taking such good care of their street cats.
I have so much respect for Turkish people for their love for animals.
Bravo à la Turquie pour son amour pour les animaux
Same story here in our Izmir city. Izmir is a very animal friendly city. I am looking after around 25 street cats per day .
Oh my gosh that is awesome, you are a beautiful person

I envy the attitude of the people in Istanbul. Here in the Philippines, I always try feeding stray cats but my neighbors consider it a weird behavior, like there's something wrong with me. You feed strays here, and people will think of you as crazy.
Basta pakainin mo lang, hayaan mo sila
Same happen in my country tho, just ignore them, u are doing good thing u should have proud!
Keep doing the right thing.

Tavsiye etmem çünkü burda herkes mutsuz artık.
I love the Turkish people they have the right way to treat street animals. Help they not harm them!!! Wish the rest of the world understood that.
I wish i were so wealthy that i could take in as many as i wanted and give them all their medical care and feed them meat every day.They would want for nothing.
If only all the people in the world are like the Turkish people, w/ so much great compassion for animals, what a wonderful world this planet of ours could have been!
May ALLAH bless this country so much... That is so heart warming
Now Turkey is on my travel list God willing/ in shah Allah. Love Turkey and its people. May Allah bless you
Thank you turkey 🇹🇷 Istanbul to lead the way in treating animals the right way and opening eyes of all other cities to follow . I hope we treat them the right way. 😽😭🥰😍thank you TRT!

I went to Istanbul last week and the cats n kittens were my favourite part of the holiday. I loved it and will go back one day.
An excellent animal health service which helps the animals for free. I used it for stray cats and dogs when I lived in Uskudar. Every district worldwide should follow this example.

Orang2 turki adalah orang2 yg sangat baik..salut kepada mereka.
I LOVE THIS! I will be in Istanbul for 3 months this year. As a USA citizen, if I see an animal that needs care, can I bring the animal in and the animal can get treated free of charge?
Of course, it is sufficient to go to the veterinary directorate of the municipality of your city or district, all care services are provided free of charge, this is a legal obligation.
@@79taneraydemir HUGE Respect to the Amazing Turkish people.
May every one of you stay ever Protected, Prosperous and Blest 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow. I admire this country and people. It's now a dream city for me
Lots of cats and dogs also have infections and bad scars because they fight with each other. When I took a sick cat to the vet clinic in Ortaköy, I unfortunatelly saw bad cases especially for dogs. They brought a dog who fought with another dog, one of his leg was all ripped and bleeding. There was also a dog in rehabilitation, it’s leg was broken. I am so grateful for these clinics because the government pays their expenses. People still wouldn’t leave injured animals in streets if these clinics were not exist but it would be so expensive to treat all of them and we couldn’t pay all their treatments. Vets are expensive here, I took care of lots of cats in my neighbourhood while I was a student in university. They took all my money LOL Thank you very much for healing them. 💕
Turkey and its peoples is amazing ❤️
Very Cool. Very hopeful. I hope to go to Istanbul some day. I wish we did this here in the US. Thank you.
Salam Alikum to all my brothers and sisters in Turkey. May Allah bless you and your country for taking care of these lovely cats.
I just love it. I’m a cat mom myself and I help the cats outside that were abandoned. I want to open my own sanctuary one day and help all animals especially our cats and dogs.
Turkey people's kindness towards others exceeded humans to encompass animals. Truly a beautiful country
I love Turkey and I love animals
And I like you too
This make me want travel to Turkey💖
Salutations to people of Turkey for their kindness and generosity, they love Allah's creation...
turkey will definitely be the first country i will visit with my own money
Istanbuls’s cats are one of their greatest tourist attractions. Cat lovers from around the world travel to Istanbul to see these famous kitties. I hope some of them can get neutered TNR and get adopted into homes. 😻🐈🐈🐈👍😻🙏🏻
Almost every house has at least one cat in this city :)
Turkey has extensive TNR programs across the country. One simply has to call a hotline and the dog or cat will be spayed and given rabies and other shots before being released back into the city.
Beautiful people beautiful city, long live turkey!!
Lots of love from India Muslims 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I'm every Sunday I buy cat food regularly and feed the cats. There are 12 cats that I take care of in the street I live. Love for animals is something that is in human beings, I think it has nothing to do with where we come from or our religion. I live turkey in the meantime, so I am Turkish
Good on you . Well done

It has everything to do with the religion. Islamic term for this compassionate nature of human beings can be seen in the discussion of Fitrah (intrinsic nature of human beings, including the need to seek Allah, our God). It is Fitrah that guides mankind from the inside, it's in our design. It is fitrah of you as a human being to be kind, loving and compassionate as you are (may God bless you always!)
Another undeniable example of fitrah though, human is restless in nature - thus seek peace and unfortunately create wars too. Acceptance of human full nature is part of the component to understand the hikmah (hidden insights) behind Islamic teachings. At the very least, from my personal review as a muslim, Islam is the N in a veinn diagram - it encompasses everything, that's why it is dynamic, balanced and alive a religion. Allahu'alam (Allah knows His creations best).

But street dog’s and cats are killed in many Muslim countries
@Anika A It’s not a religion thing, it’s more of a cultural aspect.

Please note that writing the sacred Name of Beloved Prophet the way you have ( without using Prophet in the beginning and PBUH in the end ) it hurts deeply our sentiments as muslims . You may not understand our perspective but harmony means respecting others feelings out of compassion for humanity and love . Please I humbly request you to NEVER write our Beloved Prophets PBUH sacred Name like that. Secondly comments where Names of Sacred Personalities are mentioned get blasphemous replies on youtube so please delete your comment so no blasphemous replies can be posted here or else grave sin of that will be on you . If you will delete this comment then Allah will remove whatever difficulty it is your facing in life and will bring you relief inshaAllah
TURKS & ANİMALS
It is certain that those who attribute the high respect shown to animals to Islam, do not know both the Turkic cultur and Islam..
People from all nomadic steppe cultures treat people with the same warmth, not just animals..
Nomads are attracted to diversity and strangers, there is an almost instinctive reflex to include them in their culture because the survival of tribes /clans depends heavily on their growing numbers..They develop and change with the newcomers, but the Turk culture remains, the language remains.. Seeking power in numbers and diversity is an innate part ofTurkic culture..
The Turkish people, who did not abandon this genetic heritage, are also known for their hospitality today.. Although only Istanbul stands out, I have personally witnessed that cats and dogs live happily on the streets throughout Turkei..
It is understood from the Chinese sources that mention Turks 2 thousand years ago and from the Gokturk Khanate Monuments in Mongolia that the Turks, believing that their ancestors were gray wolves, expressed their theory of evolution before Darwin..
A joke that is said a lot in the Turkology humor:)
"Ad Günü" which means birthday in Turkish, actually refers to the horse(At), since they gave their children's names when they first got on a horse..
Likewise, it is known that Turks are the ones who most prefer animal names as names and surnames in the world..
It is a beautiful culture that even had states with names such as Akkoyunlu (white sheep) and Karakoyunlu (black sheep)..
It is important to protect animals in Turkic nomadic life consisting of huge herds of horses and sheep, but still Turks never kill wolves, instead the shamanistic Wolf Mouth Bind (Kurt Ağzı Baglama) tradition is still practiced in many parts of Turkei today and Wolves are of great importance in Turkish society..
During harsh winters, villagers leave food in the mountains for carnivores and herbivores to eat. It is possible to write hundreds of such..
Since the Turks did not fit their own view of life, they removed many practices from Islam and added practices from Teñgri the national religion of the Turks, and from the Shamanist tradition..
(with the Holy Quran, which refers to the Jewish people he created as vile apes and uses the donkey as an insulting adjective, and the Hadiths of the prophet Muhammad hose hostile and cruel statements about black dogs, lizards and pigs are known to all )
For these and similar reasons, while the ancestors of the Turks accepted Islam for their strategic advantages, names such as Ahmet Yesevi and Bektash Veli removed the Arabic traditions from this new religion and replaced it with the Turkic Central Asia..
My advice, especially to the dear Turkish Friends, is to protect your ancient culture and do not let it be covered by religions.. Remember that 5000 years before Islam or other Semitic religions, Turks lived with animals as a whole and while the rest of the world worshiped stones and idols, the Turks knew that God was one and in the sky, hence his name is Gok Teñgri..
This is THE real paradise !!!
Someday, i will visit turkey, someday
These cats have better healthcare than Americans xD
That’s is true.
@@ike4425 Yes. it's is.

I actually take care of a stray cat too. She comes into our yard everyday for a few hours then leaves to sleep outside. She lets us pet her and we give cat food, chicken,meat and all sorts of good food. She sometimes manages to get into our house and its so wholesome. She also brings us rats and dead birds for some reason.

why are you non Turkish muslims obsessed with shouting random islamic slogans in anything related to Turks
Chill out boyman he is only making a quote about animals, any true cat owner would know that Muhammad blessed a cat & that’s how the “M” appeared on many cats foreheads. As someone that is none religious I have great respect for any human of any religion that’s shows animals love & respect.
@@alisonuibhroin3109 well the same religion wants me to die so yeah
Well isn’t there many different Muslim religions? It’s probably not the actual religion that wants you to die it’s the people that say they represent the religion that is a Threat to you. That’s why I broke away from Catholicism a long time ago, I don’t agree with its ideology. I am a spiritualist/Pagan & I try my best to respect to everyone especially anyone that has a love of nature & animals. Blessed be ✌🏽
