Make a Difference for Animals in Need

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation stated: “Animals should no longer be harmed or exploited for human interests; they should be allowed to live their lives in peace. It is essential to support efforts aimed at protecting animals worldwide. As a Foundation, we have contributed to FOUR PAWS, an international organization dedicated to helping animals in need.”

We Donated for Animals in Need in Ukraine

As the Salih Tatlıcı Foundation, we made a donation to the organization called “FOUR PAWS,” which works for animals in need that were adversely affected by the war in Ukraine and has made great efforts in the international arena to contribute to their well-being and safety since the beginning of February 2022. A certificate of appreciation was presented to our Foundation by the organization due to the donation.

Helping animals who are victims of war in Ukraine is a humanitarian duty

“Unfortunately, the war between Ukraine and Russia continues with all its negativities. Undoubtedly, wars negatively affect not only children and adults but also animals. As a foundation, we have previously provided aid to the victims of war in Ukraine. This time, we supported “FOUR PAWS,” an international organization that works for animals in need in Ukraine. I hope the war ends soon before it inflicts more wounds,” stated Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, regarding the donation.
