The Sicilian regional government has allocated five million euros in favor of the Municipalities to cover the expenses incurred in 2023 in prevention and interventions against stray dogs. This intervention, introduced by regional law 15 of 2022, was recently financed and implemented thanks to the decree issued in collaboration between the regional councilor for local authorities and that for the economy.
The funds
The allocated funds fall within the scope of the distribution of the Local Autonomy Fund and were distributed to the Municipalities in proportion to the expenditure incurred in 2022.
