The Wolf Had a Hundred Eyes .......
The wolf had a hundred eyes...
I guess, if I did not go mad tonight, I never will..
I guess, if my heart dealt with the enormous sorrow I felt tonight, it will deal with anything..
I have told you before, I'm telling you again: I do not wish to be called a human anymore. I refuse to be called a human.
Tonight, I have seen torture with my very eyes. With these "human" eyes, I saw the torture the humans and their children did on a god's creature, known to be a "wild" wolf..
I saw a living being's eyes filled with fear.
I saw a piece of wood shoved in his mouth, and I saw him being tied up. I saw him tied to a chain from his hind leg, dragged on the ground.
I saw a bunch calling themselves "humans", pick the animal up from his ears triumphantly, and pose to the cameras.
I saw the blood pouring out from his mouth when they took the piece of wood out.
I saw the torture this creature went through, all because God created him as a wolf, and he was acting by his nature.
I saw a huge Anatolian shepherd dog released onto him to kill him.
I saw the humans poke him with sticks after he was ripped apart by the dog.
I saw the creature known as "humans" torturing a creature that was acting according to his nature. I saw the humans enjoying this very torture.
I was so afraid of what I saw tonight...
I was not afraid of the "wild" wolf one bit tonight...
I was so afraid of these humans, and their children tonight.
They were laughing, giggling, posing, enjoying...
The wolf, on the other hand, had his eyes wide open, looking at each and every one of them. The wolf was all eyes... As if the wolf became hundreds of eyes, and seeing everyone who was torturing him and enjoying it, as well as everyone watching him on their tv sets.
The wolf was seeing the whole world, and asking: WHY?
I will never ever forget that wolf, his eyes and what he lived tonight.
I will also not forget the humans that called the tv and said "you are exaggarating, similar things are being to humans as well, who cares about a wolf?".
One day, when being a human or an animal will not matter, what will matter is helping an unfortunate being in need of a help, that will be the day when we will all truly become "human".
One day, when people ask for your help and you do not respond "I say humans first", at that exact moment, your heart will open its doors to a being in need of help, and you help this being even if it's an animal, that will be the moment when things will change.
One day, when being a human or animal does not matter, but you feel the pain the being goes through in your own body, when your body and your heart aches, that will be the day that you will understand what that wolf felt...
And I guess that day will be the day when your heart will become the wolf's heart, and your eyes will become the wolf's eyes... Then, you will ask the world: = WHY?
Thank you Mr. Savas Ay, and ATV TV station for sharing these images, and sending a message to the public that torture is a torture, no matter who it is towards...

*****************************
According to the answer from the Malazgirt Municipality is:
The persons who totured the wolf named Ahmet Gürel, Halis Güvenir, Dinçer Yazc and Nimet Güvenir was punished to pay 278 YTL according to the animal protection bill law number 5199.
But this is nothing for the tortured wolf!
According to animal protection bill law number 5199:
Taking animals into care ARTICLE 24 Persons who act in breach of the provisions of this Law relating to animal welfare and who in this manner seriously neglect the animals in their care or cause them pain, suffering or damage will be banned from keeping animals by the supervisory authorities and the animals will be seized. The said animals will be given to new owners or taken into care.
We applied the Mus Mayor to seize these people's animals and take them into care.
