ā€˜Turkey is currently carrying out the greatest dog massacre ever recorded in modern historyā€™

ā€œOnce Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ā€˜We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.ā€™ā€ ā€” Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50

ā€œAbdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allahā€™s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.ā€ ā€” Sahih Muslim 3811

ā€œIbn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.ā€ ā€” Sahih Muslim 551

The ā€œdog massacre lawā€ that the government of Turkey passed on July 30 is causing a rampage of cruelty by evil people in Turkey.

Municipalities are now hunting down and massacring stray dogs (sometimes including pets loved and cared for, found in the neighbourhoods of their owners).

Horrifying news is coming not only from municipalities but also from private citizens.

Those who hate dogs are poisoning, shooting, and even beheading dogs.

Some are buried alive. The efforts of good people are not enough to stop the slaughter.

Theyā€™re crying in anguish, protesting and trying to confront the murderers, but theyā€™re being intimidated by the government and threatened with jail sentences or fines.

Turkey is currently carrying out the greatest dog massacre ever recorded in modern history.

If the government of Turkey is not stopped, millions of dogs will die a horrible death.

Please look at this video. How the dogs are crying in fear and pain...

The only crime of these poor dogs is to have been born in Turkey. Please boycott Turkey.

Donā€™t holiday there. Donā€™t fly with the Turkish airlines.

Donā€™t buy or use Turkish products.

And if you happen to meet any Turkish state official, ask them why theyā€™re so inhumane and evil.

A tragedy only possible under an authoritarian regime like Erdoganā€™s which could have easily been avoided had the government acted before the problem got out of hand.

Sadly a hardly ever mentioned issue in the international major media..

A prominent British crocodile expert has been jailed for 10 years and five months for raping, torturing and killing dozens of dogs.

Adam Britton, a zoologist based in Darwin, Australia, pleaded guilty to 56 charges of bestiality and animal cruelty at the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory (NT) in September last year.

He also pleaded guilty to four counts of accessing and transmitting child abuse material.

Britton, 52, whose sentencing suffered a series of delays, was on Thursday also banned for life from purchasing animals and having them on his property, Australian media reports.

His offending involved the torture and exploitation of 42 dogs, and the deaths of 39, in a shipping container on his property - which he used to film many of his crimes.

Britton will not be eligible for parole for six years, according to ABC.

Chief Justice Michael Grant described Britton's "grotesque" and "unspeakable" crimes against animals as he sentenced him.

The judge excused court officers during his sentencing remarks, as he warned the gallery that details of the offences could cause a "nervous shock or some other adverse psychological reactions".

He said: "Although I'm loathe to do so, given the gross depravity and perversity of your actions, it is necessary for the purpose of sentencing you to provide some generally representative detail and description of the offending conduct."

The court previously heard Britton had a "sadistic sexual interest" in animals, and in particular dogs.

As well as torturing his own dogs, he also sourced animals from unsuspecting pet owners in the Darwin region.

"He often built a rapport with the dog owners in negotiating taking custody of their animals, many of whom had to reluctantly give their pets away due to travel or work commitments," prosecutor Marty Aust told the court back in September.
