Why they did this is not yet clear. But they have it killed by stabbing without even realizing that one surveillance camera of the Ponte Galeria railway station he was filming them while they were slaughtering an animal, which was then thrown into a ditch where a stream flows. A dogknown in the Piana del Sole area with the name of George, owned by a 47 year old Romanian citizen but in reality, as many residents of the area wrote on Monday morning, “it belonged to everyone and no one, it didn’t hurt anyone and now you will be free as you deserved to be”.
The owner is a homeless man of Romanian origins
The police tracked down and two Roman brothers aged 44 and 46 were reported for killing an animal who live right in the area of the railway yard, living by their wits. They were identified precisely through the analysis of the videos acquired by the investigators who after a brief investigation there and then always traced in the neighborhood. It remains to be understood why the two, filmed precisely at the moment in which they were attacking the poor animal, who had not threatened them in any way, pounced on him hitting him mercilessly with a knife until he killed him. Then they dragged him away to make the carcass disappear which was in fact found by the same investigators where it had been thrown. Shocked by the community of Piana del Sole and also that of Ponte Galleria where the dog was often seen wandering alone and where many times the inhabitants they gave him food and drink precisely because he had now become a kind of mascot.
Oipa: «Risk of 24 months in prison»
The international organization animal protection (Oipa) makes it known that he will file a complaint in the next few hours Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome for killing animals (article 544 bis of the Criminal Code) «against those who brutally killed Giorgio». Oipa underlines that, «the authors of this cruelty are at risk up to 24 months in prison, without considering any aggravating circumstances or complicity with other crimes”. “We wait too little for a tightening of penalties for crimes against animals, as promised by various political parties”, he comments the president of Oipa, Massimo Comparotto. «Subjects who are cruel towards animals are dangerous subjects who can easily pass from animals to humans. The system should also consider this.” Oipa «has always hoped for a tightening of penalties for crimes of which animals are victims. Violent and dangerous subjects towards animals must be harshly punished: animals are sentient beings, now also protected by the Constitution in Article 9.”
