ANKARA, Turkey - Turkey 's ruling party presented a bill to parliament on Friday that aims to round up millions of stray dogs , a plan that has alarmed animal lovers who say a mass neutering campaign would be a better solution than locking dogs up in shelters.Under the draft law proposed by the AK party, municipalities would be charged with getting strays off the street and into shelters until they are adopted. Aggressive dogs or any with untreatable diseases would be put down.
An earlier version of the bill, which was leaked to Turkish media months ago, said all street dogs could be put down within a month but the provision was removed after public outcry, including from opposition politicians.The population of street dogs in Turkey is estimated to be 4 million, and 2.5 million dogs have been neutered in the past 20 years by municipalities, according to the draft bill.
