Şenpolat evaluated the process that followed:
“The animals that we collect in care homes become overcrowded after a certain time. If we want to adopt animals, we have to reduce the number of animals inside. Because there is no one waiting at the door to adopt these animals, the animals inside will be killed in some way,” he said.
Stressing that the central administration should address the issue, Shemporat said, “A unit of 300-400 people, consisting of autonomous and qualified veterinarians, animal rights activists, volunteers and NGOs within the Ministry of Home Affairs, can solve this problem.”
