I've not seen anywhere in the world where people are kinder to street dogs and cats than in Istanbul. All are cared for. If a dog can't socialize properly they are taken out to locations in the country where they are fed and housed and cared for.

So different than the mass slaughter of street animals that occurs in so many other areas.
