As Salih Tatlıcı Foundation, we donated again 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, rescue and protect dogs and cats, improve the welfare of farm animals, protect wildlife, promote animal-free testing and research, intervene, and work against disasters and all kinds of cruelty to animals. A certificate of appreciation was presented to our Foundation by the organisation regarding the donation.
We Cannot Take Away The Right To Life Of Our Dear Friends
Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “Every year, millions of animals are used for medical and academic reasons for sectors such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Experiments disrupt the body integrity of animals and often cause their death. Animals and humans have different biological structures. Therefore, a test performed on a rabbit, mouse or monkey cannot be 100 per cent adapted to the human body. It is necessary to support efforts to protect all animals worldwide, including 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 took it as our duty to donate once again to Humane Society International, an organisation that fights against animal abuse and works to promote a cruelty-free lifestyle for all animals.”
