Yıldız Kampüsünde son durum…

- Başka kaynaklardan da doğruladığımız kadarıyla eğer 14 Temmuz gecesi gönüllüler müdahale etmemiş olsalardı kampüste yaşayan kediler toplanıp bilinmeyen bir yere atılacaktı. Kedi-Avı işi üniversite görevlilerine değil kampüsün temizlik ve düzeninden sorumlu olan temizlik şirketine verilmiş ve kendilerine fazla mesaiye kalmaları, mümkün olduğu kadar kediyi endüstriyel çöp torbalarına koyup ağızlarını bağlamaları söylenmiş. Torbalara doldurulan kedilerin bilinmeyen bir noktaya atılabilmesi için de otoparkta bir araba bekletilmiş.

- Durum ortaya çıkınca panikle beraber çelişkili mesajlar verilmeye başlanıyor elbette. İnkar edin! Şimdi durun, sonra halledersiniz!!
- Dün akşam rektörden, kendisinin de bir hayvansever olduğunu, bahçesinde bir köpeği, evinde de bir kedisi ve bir de kuşu olduğunu bildiren komik bir mesaj aldık. Kedisinin sahibi Sayın Yüksel’in yok etme güdüsünden ne kadar haberi var bilmiyoruz. Herhalde büyük hayal kırıklığına uğrardı.

- Kampüste olan biteni yakından izliyoruz. Sizi de bilgilendireceğiz. Rektörden, şu ana kadar yaşananların  bir hata olduğuna ve bundan böyle hayvanların toplanıp bölgelerinden uzağa atılmasını yasaklayan 5199 sayılı Hayvan Haklarını Koruma Yasasına uyulacağını bildiren bir özür mektubu bekliyoruz.

Bu mektup yayınlanıncaya kadar gözümüz Sayın Yüksel’in üzerinde olacak!

Lütfen Rektör Profesör Dr. Yüksek’e telefon açıp veya yazıp konuyla ilgili düşüncelerinizi bildirin.

-  We have confirmation from several sources inside the University that the cats living at the campus would have been caught and dumped somewhere else if volunteers hadn’t been there on the evening of the 14th of July. The Cat-Hunting job was not assigned to the University staff but to the cleaning company who is in charge of the cleaning and maintenance services. As a part of their duties that day the workers were order to stay over-time, and to use the heavy duty bags to collect as many kittens as possible. A van was provided and was waiting at the car park to carry the bags full of cats and dumped them at an unknown location.

- After the case was revealed there was a panic and contradictory messages started to circulate… Denie!!! Stop now!! do it later!!!

Last evening we received a ridiculous letter from the Rector himself stating that he is an animal lover and has a dog at his garden as well as a cat and a bird at home!! (we wonder what Mr. Yuksek cat thinks of the extermination instincts of his master. He must surely be quite dissapointed.

- We are monitoring closely the situation at the campus. We will update you. We are expecting anytime a letter of apology from the Rector himself stating that his actions were a mistake and that he will, from now on abide to the Animal Welfare Law 5199 that specifically prohibits the collection and dumping of animals away from their territory.

Until this statement is issued Mr. Yuksek’s name will be under constant scrutiny by Let’s Adopt.

Please drop a quick line or a call to Prof. Dr. Ismail YUKSEK, The Rector.

A lesson for the Rector of the Yildiz Technical University

Yildiz Technical University.

A respected center of higher learning, training ground for some of the brightest young minds in the country. So many people hold this institution in high regard.
Unfortunately, sometimes, even Universities can align themselves with the views and positions of the uneducated.
The story that follows would be bad enough on its own but it is truly scandalous and pathetic coming from such a respected institution.
I could tell the story with all kind of details but as I don’t want to bore you. I will be straight to the point.

- Rumours start circulating that the Office of the Rector of the Yildiz University will be catching the cats living in an out the campus and dumping them somewhere else. Apparently the rector, Prof. Dr. Ismail YUKSEK believes that there are too many cats and that they are dangerous animals filled with fleas.

-  We called the General Secretary and offered our assistance in neutering the cats and sterilize, vaccinate. They told us that under no circumstance they were planning to catch any cat and that they understood to drop the cats somewhere else would be dangerous to the cats. We would never do that! they say…

- Those who never tell the truth express themselves in the same way so we didn’t believe a word….

- In the evening we sent a group of volunteers to patrol the campus and make sure all cats were ok. And what did we found? To our surprise we bumped face to face with a couple of university workers busy catching cats and dropping them on a plastic bag to be closed with rope and thrown away.

- As usual people doing that kind of job are cowards.. they run away the moment they saw us, dropping the bags behind. Upon questioning they denied everything, first they denied having anything to do with the bags (and its content) then they acknowledged the situation but refused to tell us who they received orders from… then they ran away..

Please drop a quick line or a call to Prof. Dr. Ismail YUKSEK, The Rector.

Simply tell him that his actions are bringing disrepute to this respected institution and that he should use his brains for something productive instead of planning cat catching operations…

Unbelieveble….
