Stray Dogs And Cats In Istanbul, Turkey
12th Jun 2013, by Second Chance
I have spent a few days touring around in Istanbul, Turkey. I am most impressed by the freedom given to the dogs and cats to roam around in this big city. I have taken pictures of them in the popular tourist spots, open parks, shops, eateries and even religious places. I see many Turks play with the cats in the parks, those in the eateries will feed them, some of the residential area will see bowls of kibble in front of their houses for the strays to eat. The Turks are really animal ...
