Police Snapup Puppy Torts Amid Election Hysteria
From the forest of Sapanca to the headlines of Istanbul, a mishandled pup has turned a hot‑dog game into a barking headline. The tiny guest, who apparently got a private “cutting session” of four paws and a tail, was found sprawled in the woods of Sakarya’s northwestern plains. A vet took her in, but she didn’t make it through the surgery on Friday.
Who’s in the Dog’s Chair?
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan grabbed the moment, informing an Istanbul rally crowd that the culprit— a construction machine operator — had been cuffed the night before. He promised that after the June 24 vote, the nation’s animal‑law code would get a hefty makeover.
Belt‑And‑Brace Petition
In a rare blend of political solidarity, leaders and opponents alike slammed the cruelty. “Sure, this is unacceptable, but it matters to show the awareness we need, especially on the streets and in our homes,” Erdogan said.
- Party Cheers & Political Chords – The protests spiced up the nation’s political chatter.
- Restless Reform – Animal‑rights groups cried out that existing punishments are too gentle.
- Echo of the Inequalities – Iyi Party’s presidential hopeful, Meral Aksener, vowed that those harming puppy‑sized people would suffer both in this world and the next.
