Azerbaycan'daki Sokak Hayvanı Katliamını Protesto Ediyoruz - We are protesting the genocide of stray animals in Baku

(Please share with the world. English is below)
























Azerbaycan’ın Sokak Hayvanlarına Yönelik Katliam Politikasını Protestoya!

Azerbaycan devleti, 12 Haziran 2015 tarihinde Bakü’de açılışı yapılacak olan #Baku2015 “Avrupa Oyunları” sebebiyle sokakları sokak hayvanlarından “temizleme” yolunda köpek toplamaya, öldürmeye ve yakmaya başlamıştır.

Hayvan hakları ve hayvan özgürlüğü savuncuları olarak açık şekilde katliam ve soykırım manasına gelen bu hak ve yaşam ihlâline karşı Azerbaycan devletine “Dur!” demek ve bu toplu cinayetleri protesto etmek için 15 Mart 2015 Pazar günü saat 14.00’da Beşiktaş ilçesindeki Azerbaycan Cumhuriyeti İstanbul Başkonsolosluğu önünde buluşuyoruz.

Kısırkaya ve Pendik gibi hayvan toplama kampları ve ICAM Koalisyonu ile Türkiye’de bir süredir hayvan hakları savunucuların gündeminde olan sokak hayvanlarının toplatılması ve sokakları hayvansızlaştırma projelerinin zihinsel paraleli olarak vuku bulan Bakü’de Yaşanan Sokak Hayvanı Katliamına karşı Türkiye’deki aktivistler ve hak savunucuları olarak mücadele edeceğimizi deklare etmek üzere düzenleyeceğimiz eylemimize sizleri de davet ediyoruz.

Sokak hayvanların sokağın halkıdır!

Bir rica notu: Bizler “hayvansever” değil Hayvan Hakları ve Hayvan Özgürlüğü Savunucularıyız. Nasıl ki kadın hakları savunucuları kendi özellerinde kadınsever değilse, biz de hayvansever değiliz. Bizler mezbahalardan hayvanat bahçelerine, süt ve yumurta kuluçkahanelerine, oradan sirklere ve yunus parklarına, oradan F tiplerine ve Nazizmin toplama kamplarına değin uzanan mücadelenin bileşenleriyiz.

CRIES FOR HELP FROM AZERBAIJAN, ABOUT DOGS THAT ARE BEING BURNED! (PLEASE SHARE)

Azerbaijan is "cleaning" the city from street animals by collecting, mass killing and burning them in preparation for the Baku 2015 European Games this summer. Until the Olympics 100.000 dogs will be burned alive. For the comfort of incoming visitors to 2015 Europe Olympics, the animals are suffering a genocide.

It has been reported that street dogs were collected and burned massively at the district of Balakhani, Department of street animals, which is the crematorium of Baku City Executive.  The dogs are either brought here already killed, or are brought and killed here. The officials claim a case of rabies. However they are not checking the dogs for rabies, because among the killed and burned dogs there are puppies as well. This can be seen in the footage through the links below. For the puppies they do not even want to use the bullet and they are killing them with a shovel.

The news, that was prepared about the burned animals, were removed by the government and the journalists were threatened. Azeri animal liberation activists and journalists are asking for support, saying that animal rights activists’ interference with the burning of the street animals and all initiatives in this regard are being blocked by the Azerbaijani Government. The government is also forcing censorship on press. Indicating that their freedom of information is confiscated, journalists and Animal Liberation Activists announces that they need the public support of the entire world.

As this summers European Games approaches the amount of dogs being killed and burned is increasing exponentially. This has happened before as well in Azerbaijan, as in the 2012’s Eurovision in Baku. Local activists say several thousand dogs have been killed here over the past year.

So first of all we would like to make a call for a worldwide boycott of 2015 European Games in Baku. So if please everyone can spread the word as far and as loud as you can!!

We will be in front of the Azerbaijan embassy in Istanbul on March 15. So, if possible any simultaneous solidarity action will be important to show that they are not alone in Azerbaijan.

Please place International and local calls to sports persons asking them to denounce the crimes and genocide directed to street animals in Azerbaijan and boycott 2015 European Games!! We are also pushing it in Turkey.

We believe this issue also requires pressure on the European Union. The pledge of adjustment to the European Union Standards is the excuse to legitimize such crimes. So we should also pressure European Union to denounce these crimes.

Sending direct letters to the authorities in Azerbaijan can be effective as well. More we scream together stronger the pressure.. All the links and addresses are below.. Also photos and some posters are in the attachment to spread.

Stop The Genocide in Azerbaycan!
With Solidarity..
