Mehmet Çiğner, who raises livestock in the Karataş Yenimurat neighborhood, took his animals to the community pasture area last Sunday to graze. However, after a while, Çiğner saw that the animals had collapsed on the ground and noticed that there were poisons mixed with barley, wheat, bread crumbs, and chemical drugs in the pasture area. Çiğner, who took the surviving animals out of the pasture, reported the situation to the gendarmerie teams.
ACCUSING HIS FORMER PARTNER
77 sheep that ate the poison died at the scene. Gendarmerie teams have launched an investigation to catch those responsible for the incident. Dozens of lambs of the deceased animals were left motherless. The surviving sheep and lambs were quarantined, while the dead ones were buried. Çiğner, who stated that he suffered a loss of approximately 1.5 million lira, claimed that the incident was carried out by his former partner A.G., with whom he has a feud, and that this was also confessed by one of his friends.
"DEATHS ARE STILL CONTINUING"
Çiğner, who shared his experiences with journalists, said, "A.G., with whom I had a feud because I sold land previously, attacked us with 30 people a few months ago. The last massacre he committed is not something that can be ignored. This cruel person took 77 lives. The poisoned mothers and the lambs that drank the poisoned milk died. We are currently helpless. We cannot save these animals in any way. I have a loss of about 1.5 million lira. Death is still continuing," he stated.
"THIS IS A MASSACRE, IT CANNOT BE IGNORED"
Çiğner, who claimed that poison was poured into the pasture land and many points, said, "A human cannot do this. This is not something a rational person would do. This is a massacre. There is no other explanation for this. He may not talk to me, he may hate me, but such a massacre cannot be committed. We had taken our animals to the pasture land. The animals we grazed have all eaten camouflaged poisons. Poisons have also been poured on the pasture road. We think that this person did it. A close friend says that this person did it," he said.
Meanwhile, it was reported that the District Gendarmerie Command teams are continuing their work related to the incident.
