Dear Friends,
Today we are going show you the very visible face of Turkey’s underground animal trading.
Whilst a bunch of crazy people are dedicating their sorry lives to slander rescue groups there, in front of your faces a number of internet sites, namely Sahibinden.com is making brisk business out of Turkey’s puppy mills and backyard breeders.
In their pages you will see hundreds, thousands of animals being used as breeding machines and sold on the open market to whomever has a few liras to spare on a dog…
All of this trade is unregistered, purely cash, no receipts involved. Black Market. Illegal from all points of view. It should be banned.
Animals purchased this way face a bleak future. They will be toys for a kid for a while, discarged like garbage later, or much worst.. they will be purchased or traded by some maganda who will then be using them as a bait in the underground dog fighting ring.
Time to do something. Sahibinden.com belongs to the Aksoy Group. The name of the General Manager is Müge Seymen.
Her public details: muges@sahibinden.com
Tel: (90 216) 571 49 00
Please grab the phone and give Muge Seymen a call.. a quick call is all you need to let them know the terrible repercusions of their misguided actions.
Best

Thanks for the expose Viktor.
Why do you thing it is wrong to sell pets online? Most of the pets that are sold in this site are home borned pets, I mean they are not petshop pets. People selling these pets because their own pets give birth and they can not afford to look after their puppies or kittens. It’s not their official job to sell these pets like petshops so this is the way to anounce the ones that want to buy pets homeborn, knowing their mothers and fathers. Is it illegal? Law is my job, I can look the cases in tow sides, there is no such wrong thing here.
Have a nice day.
