Shock discovery by the carabinieri in Ittireddu. The military, together with the staff of the ASL canine registry prevention department, carried out a check on a farm where a kennel-lager had been set up which housed 19 dogs locked up in 5 boxes of absolutely inadequate size.

When the military entered, another dog was tied to a very short chain, less than five metres.

The owner of the dogs has been charged with animal abuse.
