  • Cats in mosques, decorated bird houses and blankets for stray dogs. These are common sights in Turkey. The special place animals have in the hearts of the Turkish people goes back to the Ottoman Empire when caring for animals was encouraged by the Sultan himself.

    Living in İstanbul is a true blessing. When a woman walks alone at night there is always a big dog escorting the woman and making sure she is safe, if not it would protect her. This happened to me so many times. One day I was leaving a club and I noticed a man is following me and I saw a dog and walk towards her. She immediately knew something was wrong and barked at the man. Then she walked with me all the to subway. Another time I was crying my heart out on a bench and a cat jumped on my lap and started licking and comforting me. It was so wholesome. Every person should experience that feeling.

      true. now it does rely on the individual animal. a dog that is generally a scaredy cat might be scared of everyone they do not know.. however like with my aunts dog. the pupper doesn't want anything to do with most humans except her owners, however when i visited (i was going to spend the night there aswell) on the same day despite the dog normally not liking people she wanted to cuddle with me and was jumping up at me for me to pick her up so she could get on my lap. and my aunt was absolutely gobsmacked that out of all people it would be me she would like. (though i do know dogs tend to adore me my mothers aunt also has a dog however this one isn't as shy towards people however he does have a certain way he acts around most people wich is greet them then move on.. in my case however he greets me then as soon as i sit down he decides he want's to be a lap dog and just plops down on my lap XD it's adorable and i love it)

    I've been to Istanbul a few years ago and from what I've seen, turkish people are very friendly to people, as well as to animals. I had a smile on my face during the whole week I was there. Also, I petted all the cats and dogs I saw on the streets. So a considerable amount of my vacation was dedicated to petting animals) It is trully heartwarming how people treat animals there. I think it's a good sign when there is not one street I saw without an animal and several bowls of food and water. It tells a lot about the people that live on the street. I hope to come back to Istanbul in the future. ❤

      It's considered "interesting" because so many countries have pretty shameful records when it comes to treatment of animals. The way we treat our animals is just not the norm in all countries. It can't really be pinned down why some are good and some are bad, Turkey is good, some of its neighbours are terrible. The UK is good, Germany too, but Spain is pretty awful and Greece isn't great either. So yeah, it is interesting to see and more so to know where that love of animals comes from.

Some may say this is because of religion. But what i observe is, more that people are religious, more they dont like cats. I think the real reason that we love them is our culture and lifestyle.

Unfortunately we can't say that for all of our country animal cruelty is pretty common here, the kids on the street thinking throwing rocks or tying up animals would be fun, frustrated or drunk men taking their anger out on them. It's become so common to see so many poor animals being abused by these type of people here. I really believe we need awareness for this issue because it's very prevalent.
