I emailed to the mayor and his replacer:

Dear Mr. Ergül and Mr. Öksüz,

I’m writing to you in great concerns. I can’t understand why you are letting 2000 dogs die in a cruel way. Not allowing Berrin Olcay en Yasmin Baban, who worked so hard the last years in the asylum of Beykoz to make it better for the dogs, to give the dogs water and food they desperately need. How can you let this happen? What did the dog do to you to have to suffer this?

Are you already forgotten that after the earthquake in Turkey, the Netherlands send a group of people with DOGS to look for survivors. Yes, DOGS helped you in the time of great need and now you are letting dogs starve to dead!!!!!!

I can’t understand why 2000 dogs have to suffer because of vicious lies that have been spread. I can’t understand that a country who wants to be a part of the EU so desperate believes that the countries of the same EU are willing to pay € 300 for a dog and then use it for testing. If you are really want to be a part of the EU, just get your facts straight. We know that there are animals used for testing but there are laws in making that that will not be permitted in the near future.

I beg you to stop this cruel act against the dogs and threat them with respect; they are living animals with emotions and pain. Stop this at once and allow Berrin Olcay en Yasmin Baban and their staff back again in the asylum.
