Why Turks Love Animals

Cats in mosques, decorated bird houses and blankets for stray dogs. These are common sights in Turkey. The special place animals have in the hearts of the Turkish people goes back to the Ottoman Empire when caring for animals was encouraged by the Sultan himself.

There is a saying in Turkish: When you are moving to a new house, observe if the street animals are coming to you or running away from you! That shows the hospitality and merciness of your neighbors.

It is not only in Istanbul. Almost every city of Turkey, animals are most welcomed.

When I was in quarantine in Istanbul people were worried about who’d feed the cats and dogs on the streets since there will no cafes or restaurants open and the police posted on social media how they’d walk the empty streets and put food and water enough for the animals to eat and they said “don’t worry, our little friends are safe”

I've been to Turkey 5 times and seen a lot of these cat houses and the huge mountain dogs that walk around amongst others and they are really nice natured, i really respect the turkish people for looking out for these animals, one evening i called a massive mountain dog over to me and gave it some food and it walked us back to our hotel and then just left as if to make sure we got back safely, on another holiday i was laying on the beach and another big dog just came and laid right beside me and he was very nice natured also, he visited the beach all the time and just chilled with the sunbathers, i fed him a lot whilst there, i love Turkey and its people.

Also in Turkish people i heard something that they say "If you moved somewhere and want to know your neighbors, try to pet animals around that area like a dogs or cats. If they're not scared or be friendly with you that provided your neighbors are nice and kind people."
