According to Islamic culture, people should avoid being unjust to others, and it places animals' rights above human rights since it is possible to compensate for the wrongdoing to people by asking for their forgiveness; however, it is not possible with animals as they lack reason.
The Ottomans established foundations to feed street dogs and wolves in the mountains, provide water for birds on hot summer days and treat storks with broken wings or injured horses. They also built birdhouses in the courtyards of buildings such as mosques, madrasahs and palaces and placed water pans on gravestones for birds.
You can see plate-shaped stones that were placed in front of some old houses to feed street animals. The leftover food and bones are left on these stones for street dogs and cats. As dogs share these foods, they do not fight in the streets.

Similarly, the beggars were regarded as a public situation of helping those that were unable to change their circumstances, and so the Ottomans created "Sadaka Tasi" - the stone of donation". You enter your hand whether you're giving or taking and no one will no what you're doing.

Istanbul under Ottoman empire had 1400 public toilets while the rest of Europe had none
Wow, for some reason it took many tries to get Google to let me in! Oh well. I just wanted to remark that on the subject of animal treatment, there is a very nice little movie called "Kedi," about the cats of Istanbul. It doesn't, as I recall, go into how the unconnected of other species are treated, but it's clear that Istanbul is a good place to be if you're a cat.
