Bolu Hayvan Barınağımız ÖLÜM KAMPI olarak nitelenip, Bolumuz - Bolu Belediyesi ve Bolu Halkını töhmet altında bırakan yayınları izlediğimde, gerçekleri öğrenmek için barınağa giderek bu fotoğrafları çektim. Siz sayın izleyicilerimizin bu fotoğrafları inceleyerek, burasının ÖLÜM KAMP' ına benzeyip ,benzemediğini taktirlerinize bırakıyorum. Burada bu videoyu herhangi bir kişi ve kuruluşa yaranmak için yapmadığımı itiraf etmeliyim.. Hele hele siyasi bir amaç ve çıkarımda olamaz. Sadece BOLU ve BOLU HALKINI töhmet altında bırakmamaktır amacım. Biz barınağımıza ve köpeklerimize sahip çıkarız. Bu böyle biline. Saygı ve sevgilerimle ( Bolulu Kızılderili ) ( Doğru olsam ok gibi, yabana atarlar beni ! Eğri olsam yay gibi,elde tutarlar beni )

History[link]
Antiquity[link]
Bolu was part of one of the Hittite kingdoms around 2000 BC and later 500 BC became one of the leading cities of the Kingdom of Bithynia (279 BC - 79 BC) . Bebryces,Mariandynes, Koukones, Thyns and Paphlagons are native people of the area in antique era.Strabo (XII, 4, 7) mentions a Hellenistic town, Bithynium, celebrated for its pastures and cheese, which according to Pausanias (VIII, 9) was founded by Arcadians from Mantinea. [3] [4]
In the Ancient Roman era, as is shown by its coins, the town was commonly called Claudiopolis after Emperor Claudius. It was the birthplace of Antinous, the posthumously deified favourite of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who was very generous to the city, and his name was later added to that of Claudius on the coins of the city. Emperor Theodosius II (408-50) made it the capital of a new province, formed out of Bithynia and Paphlagonia, and called by him Honorias in honour of his younger son Honorius.
Catholic bishopric[link]
As Claudiopolis, it remains a titular see of Bithynia. It was the religious metropolis of the province (so in all Notitiae episcopatuum). Lequien (I, 567) mentions twenty titulars of the see to the thirteenth century; the first is St. Autonomus, said to have suffered martyrdom under Diocletian; we may add Ignatius, a friend and correspondent of Photius.[5]
The Turkish era[link]
In 1325, the town was conquered by the Ottoman Empire, becoming known under the present Turkish name (sometimes called Bolou or Boli). It became was the chief town of a sanjak in the vilayet (province) of Kastamonu and had a population of 10,000 inhabitants
Bolu today[link]
Bolu is a busy market town rather than a large city. It has one long shopping street and an attractive forested mountain countryside. Students from the university and soldiers based in Bolu make an important contribution to the local economy, which traditionally depended on forestry and handicrafts. Market day is Monday, when people from the surrounding villages come into town for their weekly shop.
The main road from Istanbul to Ankara used to cross Bolu mountain, although more people would stop at the roadside restaurants than actually come into the town, and anyway now the Mount Bolu Tunnel is open most people will rush by on the motorway rather than climb up into Bolu, especially in winter when the road has often been closed due to ice and snow. Some of the service stations on the mountain road have already announced their closure or moved elsewhere.
Local specialities include a sweet made of hazelnuts (which grow in abundance here) and an eau-de-cologne with the scent of grass. One feature of Bolu dear to the local people is the soft spring water (kökez suyu) obtained from fountains in the town.
Climate[link]
Bolu has an oceanic climate under the (Köppen climate classification Cfb) with cold and occasionally snowy winters and very warm summers.
