It is sad! and ridiculous. Someone owned these dogs or their descendants, so why aren't they held responsible as in the UK and other European countries. I have read about the culling of stray dogs in Istanbul before, I think in the late 50's early 60's. It obviously did not work.
We noticed strays in Oludeniz, although causing no problems, but there were visibly unkempt and not cared for.
Culling is one solution and probably the kindest but have another solution ready so as not to repeat the episode.

I don't know about Turkey or England, but we have animal adoptions here. Every week they show on the news animals, cats, dogs etc.. that need a home. I'm sure not every animal gets adopted, but at least there is an attempt to save them.

In some neighborhoods, the dogs are really bad. I know many women that are afraid to walk at night because of these dog packs. Especially after dark, its not uncommon for these dogs to follow people and bark. I have never heard of anyone actually being bitten. In Fulya where I live, we have a couple of different groups of dogs. And the same dogs have been here for years. I dont know why the government lets them stay in the city. It would be easy to catch them and move them outside the city. Even stranger is that there has been the same dog that sleeps in front of the Marmara Hotel in Taksim for years. Welcome to our modern city!!!

keithl, that is a very good point for those who are western brainwashed. i read lots of reports of how children, women and old people were bitten to death by 'lovely and friendly' dogs. dogs should have their own places.
if u have a dog, watch for it so that it wont do any harm to anyone, care for it so that it wouldnt leave 'droppings' everywhere. 
in some countries the govs simply dont bother themselves by this sort of issues, due to the other more important problems, or not simply that wealthy as "western" ones.

I know this will attract criticism but large cities are no place for dogs (in general).
There is so little green to begin with so where are these animals supposed to go and excercise?
For every 10 "good owners" who clean after their dogs, there is always the bad owner that leaves the animals crap wherever it happens to go. In winter, its bad enough walking up and down the hills in snow without having to worry about these "gifts" left behind by stupid pet owners.
And these animals bark when the owner works. So the people in the building are left to deal with barking animals while again, the stupid owner is out for the day.
(How many friends have I lost today?)

I agree with you 100%. Also these "kind owners" often insist on breading them and making them having puppies. They also insist on buying their dogs from breaders. There are enough stray dogs in the world, more than anyone can cope with, and yet people still have a hobby and/or business from bringing more into the world. I agree, there are no stupid dogs, just very stupid owners
