As Salih Tatlıcı Foundation, we have donated to “Humane Society International“, an organisation that improves the welfare of animals in more than 50 countries, works worldwide to improve the human-animal bond, to rescue and protect dogs and cats, to improve the welfare of farm animals, to protect wildlife, to promote animal-free testing and research, to intervene, and to counter disasters and all kinds of cruelty to animals. A certificate of appreciation was presented to our Foundation by the organisation for the donation.

All Animals Should Be Protected To Prevent Their Use As Guinea Pigs

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “Animal testing on millions of mice, rabbits, dogs, cats and other animals around the world must stop at once. Animals should no longer be harmed or exploited for human interests and should be allowed to live their lives in peace. It is necessary to support efforts to protect and end cruelty to all animals worldwide, including and especially those exposed to the cat and dog meat trade, those suffering in laboratories and factory farms, and those abused in the wild. As the Foundation, we felt it is our duty to donate to Humane Society International, an organisation that fights animal abuse and works to promote a cruelty-free lifestyle for all animals.”
