The opposition parties previously announced that they would resist the implementation of the controversial law amendment allowing for the “euthanasia” of stray dogs under specific conditions.

Euthanasia will be introduced for animals that “pose a rabies risk, cannot be adopted and cannot be treated,” according to an AKP official.

Animal rights advocates say the new regulations will make it even more difficult to control animal breeding businesses and animal abuse will become "invisible."

CHP MP Engin stressed that the Animal Protection Law should be changed in a way to prevent ill-treatment and be deterrent.
