The horse he destroyed flowers, damaged cars and risked injuring passers-by. The horse was injured during the race. He stopped at Porta Nuova after he collided with a column. Police officers intervened.
Ferrandelli: “The irreparable could have happened”
“The irreparable could have happened. Luckily that wasn’t the case.” He says Fabrizio Ferrandelli animal welfare councilor of the Municipality of Palermo. “As soon as I was notified – added Ferrandelli – I immediately went to the scene and coordinated the intervention of the ASP veterinary service and the Municipal Police”.
“The ASP provided the necessary initial care to the animal while the Municipal Police carried out all the necessary investigations and applied the necessary sanctions, given that the person responsible was operating illegally and without a licence. In the city we need to act for animal welfare and put a stop to illegal activity for which there will be zero tolerance. We cannot fail to guarantee the safety and protection of animals.”
