The words of the mayor of Sangineto (Italy), Michele Guardia, creak when he comments the sadistic and inhuman killing of a stray dog by four young boys in the country’s countryside, paying more attention on the “disbelief for what happened” and on the “repentance and social recovery of these young boys”, rather on taking a strong stance in the name of all Municipality, to assure that the punishment imposed is the maximum expected for the animal killing offense.

OIPA, as well as activates with a civil action, while awaiting the beginning of the criminal proceeding as a result of the Sangineto’s Carabineers’ complaint, presented a formal request letter to Sangineto’s Municipality, so that it will take part in the civil action and considers the link, already widely proved through different scientific studies, between the violence against animals and violence against persons.

The case at issue presents a series of aggravating circumstances which do not let to wind up everything, hoping in the repentance of the responsibles. The murder happens with a particular cruelty and sadism, against a defenceless living being and by young boys which have shown extreme pride of their act, to the point of filming and publishing it online, an evidence that there was no regret nor perception of the evil and pain caused to the dog and to all community.

OIPA and many other national and local associations of animal protection give life to a massive movement of protest which will foresee, along with online initiatives, a local day event that will give voice to the outrage and the pain of all those who do not only care about animal rights, but at the same time ask for an exemplary punishment for the torture and the death of Angelo, as the dog has been renamed, and for the insult the public sensitiveness suffered.

L'articolo DOG TORTURED AND MURDERED IN SANGINETO, ITALY: OIPA BRINGS A CIVIL ACTION AND ASKS FOR A STRONG STANCE BY THE MUNICIPALITY proviene da OIPA.

The jaguar was killed on Monday at a zoo attached to a military training center, when a soldier fired a single pistol shot after the animal, despite being tranquilized, approached the soldier, the army said in a statement.

“We made a mistake in permitting the Olympic torch, a symbol of peace and unity, to be exhibited alongside a chained wild animal. This image goes against our beliefs and our values,” the local organizing committee Rio 2016 said in a statement, adding: “We guarantee that there will be no more such incidents at Rio 2016.”

In the last months too many animals have been killed for human mistakes and this is absolutely unacceptable.

We are talking about the two lions shot to death after a naked man jumped into their cage trying to suicide, the gorilla killed in Cincinnati Zoo after a 4 years old boy felt in his enclosure, five alligators euthanized as search for the boy dragged into orlando lake and finally this jaguar shot to death after being used as mascotte.

How could we dare to exploit other living creatures in this way? Animals are suppose to be protected by humans, we should give them a safe place where to live, protect their natural habitats, instead too often animals are abused, exploited, used for entertainment, their habitats are destroyed and reduced by human activities.

Recently too many animals have been killed and those death could have been avoided, they are due to human mistakes and negligence.

The question we must ask ourselves is why the gorilla was in a cage in that zoo surrounded by people and caos? Why the jaguar was chained in a public manifestation like an object to be shown? Why those lions were exposed in a zoo instead of be in their natural habitats or in a sanctuary?

Animals are not ours to be used, exploited, shown or eaten.

Since there will be someone paying tickets for animals confined in cages in zoo, circus and other unproper places, there will be those accidents and animals we’ll keep dying for no reason.

Let’s stop this abuses, boycott circus, zoos and every place which do not respect animals rights and dignity.
