Community Outrage Over Cruel Animal Abuse

While in Gricignano d'Aversa the monument to "Totò", an abandoned dog tied to a pole and found dead the next day, is being inaugurated, an alarm for an "act of cruelty" towards an animal comes from Frignano. "With dismay and profound indignation, the community finds itself confronting an act of unprecedented cruelty perpetrated against an innocent animal. The shocking images spread by the social profiles of Deputy Borrelli testify to a real massacre of a dog, repeatedly hit with a stick until death. The incident presumably took place on the night of April 20, near the municipal cemetery," declares Aldo Simonelli, municipal councilor of the 5 Star Movement. "The local law enforcement agencies are already actively working on the basis of a filed complaint. We are facing a very serious crime, and anyone who has committed such a horrible act represents a danger to our community and must be identified and punished with severity, as provided by the penal code," adds Simonelli, emphasizing: "We strongly condemn this barbarity and invite anyone with useful information to immediately contact the competent authorities or the many volunteers involved in the search."
