Animal In Istanbul, a dog brought her puppy, whose heart had stopped due to the cold, to the veterinarian.

There was a death that triggered this specific law to be passed. If I remember correctly, a child was killed due to being hit by a car and the driver said they hit the child with the car to avoid a dog in the road. To me, it seems the driver is more at fault. Instead of a dog it could have been any other animal or person or road obstruction.

It’s my understanding that the child’s family really pushed for this law, and while it is very sad the child died of course, their family are breeders who sell animals for money. Killing stray dogs would also be good for their business.

How is it the drivers fault if the parents were not looking after the child. It’s a child for Pete sake.

u/Starlesseyes598 Jan 16 '25

I mean yeah I agree with that too. The dog is the least at fault in this situation.

Because a driver has a responsibility to use the car safely and be aware of their surroundings? They should never have dodged the dog at the expense of a human life.

Dogs are like children they need guidance and constant attention. Unless all dogs were throughly trained we wouldn’t see dogs on leashes. Also the parents have the responsibility to not let their kid just wander into the street, but I’m guessing you wouldn’t mind that.

Thank god he did dodge the dog, that human could have turned into some dumb fucking serial killer. Common sense tells me to save an innocent animal over someone who might end up committing murders and crimes.

Stop the cap. The incident you mentioned has CCTV footage, and the driver is 0% at fault. The kid jumped onto the highway trying to escape from a dog. That's just one example. Almost every day, people are attacked by large packs of dogs. Streets are no longer safe for women and children. We've had people die from rabies in this day and age, for Christ's sake. And let's not even mention how unhealthy it is for dogs to live on the streets

Oh come on man, there were many deaths and severe injuries by direct dog attacks, there are just too many street dogs

Can anybody verify this story? I've looked online and can't seem to find the reason they have started euthanizing dogs.

Why was the child not taken to the hospital for post exposure rabies vaccine?
