3. The
That table teacher
functions like sends them
notes by
a diary using the
wiki
15. When they could go to
the shelter in
Beykoz/Istanbul
finally, they asked
their questions
They didn’t publish the
interview. Instead they
decided to write a
paragraph
16. They made a search about the
animal shelter in Cankaya/Ankara
and translated what they found into
English
26. After studying the qualities of the shelter in Kadikoy and in
Brussels, they came up with some suggestions
SUGGESTIONS
Both of the animal shelters are located in places similar to each other.. They are
among
companies & skyscrapers. They are out of sight. In my opinion, that's why people don't
visit them often. But actually 'Help Animals' invites people to come and see the
animals there.
They contact teachers and they want students to learn about that feeling: love for
animals.
Both animal shelters are against the sale of animals. In Brussels it's forbidden to sell
animals in public markets. In Istanbul, Kadikoy Municipality has forbidden selling
animals
on 13.03.13, too.
Both of them have the same sort of physical structures. Cages, kennels, floor, etc.
Smaller cages are
for little dogs, kennels in free areas are for elderly dogs. Others are for the aggressive
dogs.

27. SUGGESTIONS
• I think thetwo animal shelters have a common
problem. It's about cages' floors. They must be grass
or wood. If it's concrete, animals' nails get hurt and
they feel cold much more when it's winter.
They could be nearer the residential areas. This way
more people would go there.
Bowls for dogs should have been cleaner.
They should disinfect animals often for hygiene.

28. Their suggestions again…
SUGGESTIONS
• General features of the shelters are very similar.
Their purpose is the same: Helping animals and
improving the communication between people and
animals. Withal sale christmas decorations are very
creative. When I came to Kadikoy Animal Shelter, I
met the volunteers. I think they deal with animals
quite well and communicate with the visitors
sincerely. Other than this, I think the information
about the animals on the website of Kadikoy Animal
Shelter could be more detailed. If the people were
more sensitive about animals I think the shelters
would be more beautiful. (By Rabia)
