Cats of Istanbul - a short documentary

If you have ever been in Istanbul, the one thing that you will certainly never forget is the amount of stray cats. It is then no surprise that Istanbul is also called the capital of cats. However, although these cute, fluffy animals seem to live a happy life, a sad reality lurks beneath this facade.

    I’m from Australia and on my several visits to Istanbul, I have bought tins of pet food from the supermarkets to feed the cats and dogs. I’m sure they appreciated it.

    There should be a council program for free sterilization of street cats.

    5:45 Yaşın daha ufak. Kaç ülke gezdin bilmiyorum. Ben 40tan fazla ülke gezdim ve hayvanlara bizim kadar değer veren ve iyi davranan başka bir ülke görmedim. Tabii ki her yerde olduğu gibi ülkemizde de hayvanlara kötü davrananlar muhakkak vardır ancak bunlar çoğunlukta değillerdir. Bir konu hakkında yorum yapabilmek için yeterli bilgi ve görgüye sahip olabilmen lazım genç kız aksi taktirde cahil görünürsün, bu video da olduğu gibi ...

    Let me correct something. "cats are luckier because of the religion..." this assumption is not true. in islam, they mostly like cats but not because of their love for animals, just because their prophet loved cats. but in Turkey, we love every animal, dogs, birds and cats which live in the streets. arabs hate dogs and kill them, they think dogs spoile their prayers if it passes before them when they are praying. its all about Turkish culture, and ancient religion. its still in our cultural genes to respect and love animals. it has nothing to do with islam. those people who saw that wounded dog and did nothing are classic "turkarabs" who has forgot their code. Luckily, we have internet now. Press destroyed the chains of the church and set Europeans free, internet will break the same chains of Turks and set them free from arabic fairy tales. (thanx to islamist government, lots of young people have left islam already now.)

    Bizim dinci yobaz tayfanın da aslında hayvan sevgisi konusunda sabıkaları oldukça kabarık. Normal halktan bahsetmiyorum. Ama kafayı bu tarikatlarla felan yemiş insanların sicilleri bu tip konularda felaket.
