Shop owner lets stray animals enter his store for meat scraps every day
Ikram Korkmazer is a 51-year-old businessman whose love for animals made him do amazing things.
Ikram’s heart goes out to stray animals. He is aware of their daily difficulties looking for food to eat. So what he does is he gives them meat leftovers whenever they go by his meat shop.
He knew he had to do something.
It all began when a cat that appeared to be starving entered his shop. She climbed the counter, drooling over the meat before her.
Korkmazer gave the defenseless cat some leftover meat because he felt bad for her. He loved the cat immediately, and fortunately, it wasn’t their only encounter. Yesim the cat continued to visit Korkmazer’s store for food, and she even brought her newborn kitten.
He couldn’t resist them every time.
” She would stand on two legs, look at the meat on the counter, and request meat. She started to come to request food five or six times a day, standing on two legs,” the man recalled. “She wanted mainly spleen, heart, kidney, and loved beef.”
Her cat continued to visit the meat look for snacks after Yesim passed away. Due to Korkmazer’s love for Yesim, he actually named his shop after her.
He called it the Yesim Meat Gallery.
Today, Yesim Meat Gallery is renowned for its fresh, delectable meat, as well as for being a store that feeds and looks after stray animals.
The sweet ritual really did not finish with Yesim and her kitty. The generosity of the butcher store owner seems to have actually reached other stray cats and even stray canines as well.
He’s obtained a big heart.
Every day, about 7 to 8 cats and 8 to ten dogs see his shop to taste the meat. Every time they become hungry, stray dogs and cats feast on the leftover meat, including the spleen, heart, and kidneys.
When Korkmazer’s videos went viral on social networks, his great act eventually got recognition all over the world. He began filming the animals he was feeding, after that uploading the clips on Instagram and TikTok.
The videos started to get attention.
His passion for animals astounded lots of people, and because of this, he amassed thousands of followers on both social networking sites.
“I have actually instilled the love for animals in this globe and it makes me proud to introduce Turkey as an animal-loving nation,” the meat shop owner remarked.
His advocacy has inspired others.
Although his fast appeal has attracted detractors, Korkmazer is extra thinking about the helpful reactions he has been receiving.
As he pursues his goal of helping stray animals, he is pleased to serve as an inspiration to lots of others. In fact, his relatives and coworkers have actually begun to assist with feeding stray cats and canines that come into his meat shop.
His easy act of generosity produced a ripple effect of more individuals helping countless poor stray animals all over the world. Way to go, Korkmazer!
