Helping Our Dear Friends Is A Duty Of Humanity

Salih Tatlıcı Foundation has donated to OIPA (International Organisation for Animal Protection), one of Europe’s leading organizations in the field of animal rights, which campaigns peacefully against animal abuse and is headquartered in Italy.

Animal Abuse Must Be Combated And A Cruelty-Free Lifestyle Must Be Promoted

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board member of our Foundation, said: “Animals should no longer be harmed or exploited for human interests, and they should be allowed to live their lives in peace. All people should recognize and respect the rights of animals and animals should be protected by law all over the world. All animals, regardless of their species, should enjoy their basic rights to life and freedom. As the Foundation, we felt it our duty to donate to “OIPA”, an organization that fights against animal abuse and strives to promote a cruelty-free lifestyle for all animals.”

“OIPA” (International Organisation for Animal Protection)

Headquartered in Milan, Italy, OIPA has been carrying out its activities in the field of animal rights all over the world, including our country, since 1981. It is one of the world’s oldest animal rights groups.

OIPA is a non-governmental organization affiliated with the United Nations Department of Global Communications, the United Nations Environment Assembly, and the United Nations Economic and Social Council. The aim of the association is the advocacy of animal rights and the defense of animals against all forms of mistreatment. It also pursues the goal of improving public health through the abolition of all forms of animal experimentation worldwide. The organization also works for environmental defense, where dangerous ecological conditions can harm human health and the integrity of animal and plant life. It wants to contribute to a better, healthier, and more humane world, a non-violent medical science, a more efficient sanitary structure, and an ecologically clean environment.

OIPA’s activities are based on non-violence and non-infringement of individual personal freedom. OIPA’s primary goal is the abolition of live slaughter in every country in the world.

The donations and aid projects mentioned here were made by the founders of our Foundation, Nurten Tatlıcı and her son Uğur Tatlıcı, in memory of the late Salih Tatlıcı, the benevolent person whose name continues to live on through our Foundation and whom they bid farewell in journey to eternity in 2009.
