Another massacre of cats in the Terramaini park . The complaint comes from the volunteers who take care of the feline colony, which has about 104.
«For the umpteenth time we are forced to make an appeal and a request to raise awareness among users of city parks. Within the last week we report the third attack suffered by the cats of the Terramaini colony. Unfortunately, only Frankie, a boy of about 2 years old, managed to save himself thanks to the timely care of the volunteers, while for Simone and Bianca there was nothing they could do ».
Bites were found which, they say, "can only be attributed to the attack of an angry and obviously unattended dog , given the depth and severity of the injuries which do not hide the vehemence inflicted on the poor animals".
It is not the first episode of this type in the Terramaini park: other dead or seriously injured cats were also found last year . According to the volunteers, the cause is «only and solely the indifference, abuse and abuse by the rude and careless owners of the colony present within the space . Many dog owners do not respect the ordinary safety measures, necessary not only to guarantee the safety of other animals but also of people ».
The volunteers specify that they have nothing against dogs in general, but against the owners' lack of civic sense: « We ask park visitors to intervene promptly with a phone call to the police if compliance with the rules is not observed (leash and/or or muzzle) ».
