安卡拉——土耳其议会于周三开始辩论一项有争议的法律草案,以解决该国的流浪狗问题。动物权利活动人士在土耳其组织示威活动,声称该法案将导致大规模扑杀流浪狗。

人们聚集在伊斯坦布尔、安卡拉和伊兹密尔等主要城市,甚至土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安的家乡里泽,以及其他数十个城市,呼吁政府撤回该法案。周三辩论开始时,数十人在议会外抗议,举着“绝育、接种疫苗、活下去”、“撤回立法”和“反对大屠杀”的标语。

议会内部的辩论也以执政党正义与发展党 (AKP) 与反对党议员之间的紧张辩论拉开序幕。当 AKP 成员展示在流浪狗袭击中丧生或受伤的儿童图像时,反对党议员抗议委员会拒绝动物权利活动人士进入辩论场所。
