Let's Adopt
Let’s Adopt! ((トルコ語:Sahip Çıkalım!)) is an animalrescue group founded in Turkey on 8 January 2008 by two animal rescuers and activists, Ivan Jimenez (Viktor Larkhill) and Fulya Ulusoy. Let’s Adopt! began as a small community that was generously supported by a close group of friends, their allies, and their supporters who all had one thing in common: they recognized the plight of companion animals in Turkey, the sad fate of those who were abandoned and the need to educate and inform the general public about possible solutions to make change for the better. The group's focus was to educate on animal welfare issues, conducting rescue operations for animals in danger, securing new homes for rescued animals and lobbying at the different levels of government in Turkey and other countries. From its inception it was internet-driven, utilizing social media websites as its main source of sharing its mission. ==History==
Let’s Adopt! first came to the public's attention following the death of Ebru, a stray dog allegedly kicked to death by a group of young men near İstanbul’s Taksim Square in June 2009. Let’s Adopt! was featured in reports in Turkey's daily newspapers when it offered a TL2000 reward to those who provided any information on Ebru’s attackers so that legal action could be taken against them. The Marmara Hotel supposedly took care of Ebru for years and denied any human interference in Ebru's death. Following the controversy, Let’s Adopt! was referred to by newspapers as “a group founded by a foreigner residing in Turkey named Viktor Larkhill,” failing to pick up on a reference to the 1980s comic ''V for Vendetta''. After the incident, Larkhill, who earlier made a point not to reveal his real identity, changed his Facebook profile picture, which previously featured an illustration of the "V Mask" from the original comic strip, to a picture of his face.
