Justice for Marco – chained to a tree for over five years!

Marco the dog has been chained to a tree for the last five years. His owners dumped him in their backyard and left him here, with little food and water, in one of the most remote regions in Turkey – known for the its bitter windows and scorching hot summer.

Marco was eating only stale bread, a few leftovers and drinking rain water. Marco’s owner, a old, retired hunter, simply found no use for the dog and decided to abandon him, chained to a tree. It has been years since anyone saw this helpless pooch.

Exclusive: Punish thugs that cut dog’s ears off and posed for photos!

The owner confessed that in some winters he would look out the window and wonder if Marco was still alive or froze during the blizzards. He never bothered to take the dog inside, not even once. But Marco was a survivor and fought through extreme winter temperatures. Summers were

When rescuers came, Marco was barely alive. This miserable dog was rushed to a clinic in Istanbul and now, after months of treatment, he is doing much better. He is finally starting to enjoy life.

However, due to the extremely lenient laws in Turkey, Marco’s owner will never be brought to justice for his deeds. He will walk away scot-free after abusing his pet dog for years! How can this possibly be allowed?

The need for an animal rights reform in Turkey is stringent. Lenient laws are an open invitation for cruel people to abuse animals, knowing they will never get caught. Please support my petition and demand tougher laws for cruelty to animals in Turkey – penalties that include mandatory jail time and steep fines.

Help provide a better place for the animals of Turkey. A law to mark Marco’s extreme suffering needs to be adopted as soon as possible.
