Sicilian dog massacre: Animal rights activists offer rewards from Valderice to Comiso
Explain to me in brief the following article
A reward of three thousand euros has been offered to anyone who can provide useful information to discover who shot a stray dog with a rifle, seriously injuring its hind legs. The reward was set by the Italian association for the defense of animals and the environment (Aidaa), which has announced filing a report against unknown individuals for animal abuse.
“We are more than willing to pay a reward of three thousand euros to anyone who helps identify the criminal responsible for this heinous act, and who provides their testimony to the authorities and in court to help secure a conviction,” stated the association.
The puppy, with paralyzed hind legs due to a BB gun pellet embedded in its spine, was found on a street in Valderice. Initially, it was thought that the puppy had been hit by a car, but veterinary exams revealed the pellet in its spine. The town of Valderice has reported the incident and animal welfare organizations are working to find a home for the puppy and arrange for surgery.
Meanwhile, on Friday afternoon in Comiso, several large dogs, possibly strays without microchips, were found, suspected to have been poisoned. Four dogs were found dead, while one was in critical condition and taken to a veterinary clinic. The mayor ordered the immediate burial of the deceased dogs and the cleaning of the area. The local police have begun an investigation, and the prosecutor’s office will proceed with charging unknown individuals for cruelty or unnecessary harm to animals.
