Packs of stray dogs are everywhere in Turkey and their constant barking is hardly noticed by the locals.
They cause any number of road accidents, but people seem oddly unwilling to kill them.
At the end of the nineteenth century they rounded up all the strays in Constantinople (as it then was) and put them on one of the islands. The city was quiet for a time, save for the howling from across the water as the dogs tore each other apart and then finally starved.
Sadly, they missed a few and Istanbul seems to have as many dogs as ever.
Shooting would be kinder.
