LANUSEI. A shocking video on social media is gathering comments of indignation and condemnation for yet another episode of violence against animals. It happens in Sardinia, in Lanuseiin Ogliastra, where a boy was filmed while he threw a kitten off a bridgeamidst the laughter and amusement of the two friends who were with him. The images bounced from one chat to another, outraging internet users.
Even the leaders of animal rights associations have noticed this Aidaa, Italian League for Animal Rights and Zampe who lend a hand: they were the ones who reported the perpetrator of the act to the competent Public Prosecutor’s Office, identified thanks to the photographs that portray him with the kitten in his hand.
The other two boys, all minors, are also in trouble. The video shows the last moments of the puppy who, disoriented, remains motionless in the palm of the young man. Then the flight, among the trees. The boy could be charged with animal cruelty, while the other two could instead be concurring in the crime with the same charge.
“Once again it is young people who are the protagonists of unspeakable cruelty towards animals – comments the president of the Lida of Olbis, Cosetta Prontu – It is obvious that something in society is not going right. The authors of acts like these are the children of a backward culture, according to which the life of an animal is worth less than nothing, who unload their dissatisfaction on the weakest, probably in search of gratification that they are not capable of finding in a profession or in a course of study. Or simply to be successful on social networks”. Hence the appeal: “Serious measures and severe penalties are neededwhich are a warning and above all suitable for putting an end to this growing wave of rampant and unstoppable violence”.
