However, animal rights activists condemned Akgün in front of the Republican People’s Party’s (CHP) headquarters in Ankara on Oct. 14, saying such measures were insufficient and did no practical good for animals. The Çankaya Animal Lovers Platform brought four donkeys adorned in wedding paraphernalia to a park near the CHP HQ, carrying placards reading “Thank you CHP,” “We celebrate the CHP’s marrying of donkeys,” according to the semi-official Anadolu Agency.
