SAVE THE STREET DOGS OF ALTINKUM, DIDIM, TURKEY

Target:
The Didim Municpality
Sponsored by: 

Altinkum, Didim, is a beautiful seaside resort on the Agean coast.
 
But it has a dark side ... The disappearance recently of many of the street dogs,  Many of which have been known to locals and regular tourists for many years. -  These dogs all have ear tags, which means they have been neutered , So why are they taking them ? We want to know !

Update , The killing continues : http://www.thedidymian.com/news/150/ARTICLE/1714/2008-08-09.html

Despite many outraged people emailing the municiple authorities no one has had a single reply.
Someone is responsible for the removal of these dogs ! We want to know who and why !
It has been said that the dogs were taken into the mountains and left to die of thirst and hunger..... If true, this is unacceptable !

We therefore ask that Altinkum Didim be boycotted as a holiday resort until :

1 -  Those responsible are held accountable under Turkish law.
2 -  No more healthy dogs to be removed or killed in Altinkum, Didim.
3 -  That it be made public as to where the dogs were taken.
4 -  That the neuter and release shelter get full support from the Didim municipality.

If you agree with this, then please sign this petition.

Thank you.

There is a stray dog that walks around near our flat in didim and everyone in the compex feeds her. We even gave her a name because she has been coming since she was a puppy.
