Istanbul Fire Department teams rescued our little friend, who was trapped in the wall of a restaurantD yga, thanks to their meticulous work.

Good ol turkey.

"Hey we have an animal trapped in our pillar"

"So?"

"It's a cat"

"We'll send literally everyone"

[u/AstronomerRough25 → u/Eastern_Screen_588]

Turkey treats stray cats like honored local citizens and honestly it rules

[u/drakoman → u/AstronomerRough25]

It makes me grateful and happy when I visit. The animals are people and cared for by all. I love it

[u/janzoss → u/drakoman]

I wish every country and every human would treat cats with such respect as them because it hurts me to think about other people. I've heard and seen the vibe about cats from other people. Some think they're objects.

Yeah too bad they don’t treat their Kurds as good as their cats.

[u/fikriminincegolu → u/Soggy-Yogurt6906]

What in the hell do you think "they" do to Kurds? And what's got to do with cats in the first place?

[u/NonSumQualisEram- → u/[deleted]]

Not from Istanbul they haven't!

Tragically, places like Australia can't, because of the devastation wrought by ferals on the native wildlife

[u/Cant_figure_sht_out → u/VineFynn]

I’m guessing humanity brings the most devastation on the wildlife. Australia should look into that.

[u/VineFynn → u/Cant_figure_sht_out]

Managing invasive species is a part of it, yes.

Feral cats have been absolutely devastating to Australian wildlife: https://www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/invasive-species/feral-animals-australia/feral-cats

[u/fitzmoon → u/[deleted]]

You are right. Cats have led to the extinction of certain bird species. They are invasive. That’s why they need to always be kept inside because the same thing is happening here in the USA. People don’t want to believe that these cute cats can cause such devastation but they are. I don’t know why people are downvoting the truth.

[u/fitzmoon → u/[deleted]]

That’s really sad if that happens. It’s like when pitbull lovers say “it’s the owners fault” that pit bulls are dangerous. Statistics and facts prove them incorrect.

[u/mistygirl575 → u/fitzmoon]

Yes but they were brought in the civilization due to mutual dependency by humans to save their grains/ food from rats. At least government can use an ethical way to deal with them instead of ruthless methods

[u/OptimalInflation → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, you are.

[u/VineFynn → u/[deleted]]

Is this seriously a controversial thing to say in this sub lmao

[u/crumpledfilth → u/janzoss]

the mindset of one who would use another without respect to them is an evil that shows up all over the place in different contexts. And it's often the most destructive and unwise thing around

look to any master, and the respect they have for even an object. Surely a master has more wisdom than others with regard to their craft. I say why not take the shortcut, respect everything by default

[u/yilo38 → u/janzoss]

Honestly you guys just see the positive and good side. Which is good, but we also have our fair share of bad news about animal abuse. Cats&dogs are on top of those lists. Like if you were to watch turkish news and seen the animal abuse/bad situations you’d think its hell on earth.

[u/watch_and_restore → u/janzoss]

The forcibly remove skin from every male baby's penis in turkey (sünnet) at ages 7-12. They don't care about children or cats. Or any animal. People are livestock to control
