A growing wave of anger is sweeping across the UK as tourists vow to boycott Turkey over the country's controversial new law allowing the mass killing of stray dogs.

The legislation, backed by President Tayyip Erdogan's AKP party, has sparked outrage among animal welfare activists and holidaymakers alike.

Harrowing reports of dogs being brutally slaughtered and buried in mass graves emerging from Turkey.

British tourists are increasingly turning their backs on the popular holiday destination.

Social media is ablaze with calls for a boycott, with many vowing never to return to the country until the law is repealed.

The tourism industry, already facing challenges from domestic competition with Greece, is now bracing itself for a significant downturn.

As animal welfare campaigners intensify their efforts to expose the horrific treatment of animals, the potential economic impact on Turkey could be severe.

The new law permits the euthanasia of stray dogs deemed aggressive or suffering from incurable diseases.

Municipal authorities failing to comply face imprisonment.

Critics argue that the legislation is inhumane and ineffective, and that it will do little to address the root causes of the stray dog problem.
