Who Knew? Some Fun Facts

Baby Yingliang is a remarkably well-preserved 66–72 million-year-old dinosaur embryo discovered in a fossilized egg in China. Belonging to the feathered, bird-like oviraptorosaur group, the 27 cm embryo shows a bird-like tucking posture seen in modern birds before hatching. This suggests that such behaviors may have evolved in dinosaurs. Housed at the Yingliang Stone Nature History Museum, the fossil offers rare insight into the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds.

According to the article:

"The legislation – labelled the “massacre law” by animal welfare groups – was passed by parliament last summer but has been only partially implemented by municipal authorities.

"It requires municipalities to collect stray dogs and house them in shelters to be vaccinated, neutered or spayed before making them available for adoption. Dogs that are in pain, terminally ill, or pose a health risk to humans will be euthanised.

"A report released by the Safe Streets and Defence of the Right to Life Association, an organisation campaigning for the removal of all stray dogs from the streets, says that 65 people have died in street dog attacks since 2022, not including Rana El Selci."

Not so heartless, apparently.

Apparently Turkey has around 300 shelters, several were destroyed in recent earthquakes, almost 1.000 municipalities have no shelter. Municipalities are required to alot funds to shelters but there is no oversight in place. Considering the current situation in Turkey - stray dogs are not a priority.
