Turkey's president has proposed a law that would round up the country’s estimated 4 million stray dogs and cull those that are not adopted within 30 days.
Turkey is perhaps the only country in the world where stray animals have a legal right to inhabit the street, thanks to a 2004 law passed by Erdoan himself.
The impression of cleanliness it creates is a false one, perpetuating the illusion of a 'human' world.
Conversely, Turkey’s street-animal culture engenders an awareness that we are part of a broader, nonhuman world that we need to respect and accommodate.
Real progress would be to ensure its survival and draw broader lessons from it.
