They talk about "real bombs" that make the windows vibrate. Barrels exploding without warning every week. Dogs are especially frightened: many have died of heart attacks due to their fright.
In Cabras many citizens point the finger at the fireworks that provide the backdrop to the town's many festivals , but also during the organization of these, when the committees go around the streets of the town looking for money.
A collection of signatures is already ready to be presented to the Municipality . Camilla Martinaitne: «When I return from my work shift I never find the dogs. Out of fear they hide in the most absurd corners. They are agitated with all the risks involved. I'm not asking for much, but just to know when and at what time the attacks are scheduled, in order to keep my dogs safe. One has already died due to a heart attack."
Alberto Barbieri, cat owner from Cabras but also owner of several dogs, is a river in flood: «We can't stand it anymore - he says - A few days ago the bangs, on the occasion of yet another party, were heard at six in the morning. They are deafening noises that endanger animals. We must avoid them. They are of no use ."
The mayor Andrea Abis, who knows the situation well, promises to study a method to warn the population every time the fires are authorized by the Municipality. Meanwhile, also in light of the protest, there are already those who have put into practice what was asked. The “Ecce Cabras Mater Tua” association, working to organize the 2024 Santa Maria celebration, wrote on its Facebook page when the next shots are expected.
