Objective: to propose a change to the regional law of Lazio which at the moment does not provide for the kennel park, effectively preventing its creation as, however, already happens in other regions of Italy with structures where the dogs housed live in a more “natural” dimension .

The commitment of Bonfrisco and Cartaginese for the kennel park
Bonfrisco’s commitment to the kennel park was immediately shared with Laura Cartaginese and reiterated by both in a joint note: “The League – they declare – is taking action with the Lazio Region to propose a modification to the regional law that introduces the kennel park case, thus creating the conditions for an evolutionary path in the concept of animal welfare, which has already made progress in other regions, where new and more suitable models of structures in which to house dogs are being successfully tested”, say Bonfrisco and Cartaginese. During the same visit to Viterbo the MEP, in a discussion with Antonella Bruni of Amici Animali, praised the work of the volunteers who, “with all their sacrifices, guaranteed us the best stories”.
Micci: “Kennel park also as a green oasis, open and connected to the city”
“We are in favor of overcoming the traditional model of kennels with narrow boxes, where dogs cannot enjoy open spaces and contact with nature – adds the Lega city councilor Andrea Micci -. We believe, however, that the kennel park is going in this direction, which is why we support this idea, convinced of its validity and its ability to present itself not only as the most suitable accommodation for the dog’s psychophysical well-being, but also as a green oasis , open and connected to the city, where it is also possible to organize activities and spaces that can be used by citizens which can be transformed into meeting opportunities with potential adopters.
