To the attention of the Buca şerbaylığı - stray dogs are encountered at almost every step of the way in Buca. From the point of view of the health point of the country, many bad things can be seen in this situation. I consider it my duty to inform one of them on behalf of the general interest, in terms of the attack I have personally been exposed to:
On Sunday, 30-6-935, I was returning home at 20-5 (at half past eight in the evening). As I approached my house in Köprülü street where I live, I was suddenly attacked by two fierce and horny dogs in front of Mr. Ahmed's door from Drama. The dogs attacked me so much that all my clothes were torn to pieces. At this point, I began to cry out in pain. But I saw that no one came to my rescue. However, for some reason, a woman who came out of Mr. Ahmed's house was able to save my life with great difficulty, and the incident ended with my clothes falling apart.
However, I thought about the possibility that the dogs might have rabies and ran to the police station. I had the dogs taken there, too, and told the station commander to be examined and observed by the veterinarian. Apart from that, I also informed the şarba (mayor) of the incident.
However, I unfortunately see and understand that the dogs were released afterward and the owner was advised only to take the dogs to the vineyard, and thus the issue was not given due consideration. I was very surprised that this issue, which is related to the health and life of the people, was closed so insignificantly.
Now I ask from our sharia: Who does it belong to collecting stray dogs in Buca? What has been done about them so far? Has the veterinarian been informed about the examination of the dogs going to the police station? What is the reason for these wild creatures being released so much in Buca while dogs are numbered all over? Or is a good luck still expected from their existence?
I wish your wishes to be placed in a corner of your respectful newspaper and to express my gratitude to the woman who saved my life during the incident, and I present my deep respects. A very old reader of your esteemed newspaper. Safiye Ulueren.
