In the Beauties Of Bosphorus, published in 1838 by Julia Pardoe, it is explained how the Turks who killed street dogs were punished. The dead dog is suspended from its tail so that its nose touches the ground, and the killer is asked to cover all sides of the dog with corn so that no side of it is visible. Later, these corns are distributed to poor people. It is a high financial penalty for killing a street dog.
