I completely agree with KeithL.
Too many stray dogs are a problem, because as a person who's generally not fond of dogs (due to bad experiences as a child) it can be somewhat frightening that they roam around in packs and fight eachother during the night. I haven't been bitten by a stray dog so far but I've sometimes been worried about it, and if you do get bitten there's a chance they're contageous with something. At least in the eastern part of Turkey it's adviced that you get a vaccination from anything the dogs are carrying.
And it's not like the dogs have a good life either. They always look like they starving and they just roam around with an expressionless face.

I even saw them walking IN the Aya Sofia... I found it funny (but I'm not afraid of cats).

Quoting KeithL: 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?)

Definately not me!! I agree and in our Western Society we "dog lovers" dont appreciate the problems of other countries. I have a question - who has these dogs in the first place? why do they have them? The government has to do something about it - like a licensing system as we have, or owners get their dogs chipped so they can be identified.
I agree Keith, I would never have a dog whilst I work full time, and I DO live in the country. It is wrong to have a dog if you cannot look after it. They dont look after themselves.

I saw loads of stray cats in Istanbul, but then they can look after themselves, but sill I dont like it. It does not do much for the city or any city for that matter, when there are stray dogs and cats wandering about all over.
