Animal Welfare Agenda
Our Suggestions fo Improve the Protection of Animals in Bodrum by the city council
1. The reintroduction of a mobile animal clinic that would be at various locations in Bodrum once a week, so that residents could bring their pets to be sterilised.
2. The mobile animal clinic should also have the facility to trap stray cats so that they can be sterilised.
3. The introduction of a Round Table for all vets in the peninsula, to include them in the programme.
4. To urgently reduce the price of stray animals, and the introduction of a „small reward“.
5. Vets in Bodrum currently charge 150TL per treatment. Because many individuals and private groups have campaigned vigourously, many peoplecan no longer afford these prices.
6. Hotels and restaurants should be obliged to have their pets sterilised and would receive a payment of 50 – 80 TL for this.
7. The introduction of various private organisations in Bodrum, to ease the financing of help for stray animals. (e.g. PlastikRecyklingbox in Gümbet.
8. To build several feeding stations.
9. Consistent punishment for cruelty to animals, poisoning of animals and thecontinuous chaining of dogs.
10. The introduction of microchips for all pets so that the abandonment of dogs can be punished, and in the long term, prevented.
11. The introduction of a Dog Tax.
12. The approval by the Ministry for Schools for presentations and information in schools.
13. The approval of specific open campaign for the protection of animals locally (collections and fundraising)
14. Using public funding to support the animal sanctuaries in Torba and Turgutries. (They are currently staffed by only two volunteers.)
15. The introduction of several small dog parks in public places.
16. To establish an emergency service for nights and weekends with its own phone number.
