For the third time in a few months, hens (and bunnies) thieves have broken into the house in the countryside of Mandas where the boys from the family homes of Siurgus Donigala and Settimo San Pietro arrive every week to look after them, pamper them.
"For us they are pets, they are our family," explains the president of the non-profit social enterprise "Punto ea capo", the Cagliari lawyer Filippo Pirisi .
Hence the idea of leaving a message outside the gate that is clearly visible to everyone, or rather, especially to thieves: «It's the umpteenth time you've stolen our animals, maybe you don't know that there's a foster home here and that they they are our friends: they live with us serene and free. We want to think that you don't do it out of greed, but out of need. If so, tell us, we will gladly help you. If, on the other hand, you just can't help it, at least don't steal them all from us. And then, the gate is open, there's no need to break the net (again). Thank you".
«We are embittered», explains the lawyer Pirisi, «for us hens and hares are a tool to educate our children that the Court has entrusted us with. We don't raise animals and then kill and eat them, we want them to live free and happy».
