On the facts, the International Organization for Animal Protection (Oipa) also announces a complaint for mistreatment, pursuant to article 544 ter of the Criminal Code and will request the confiscation of the Pit Bull: «In the Capital there is a resurgence of the phenomenon of dogs used for ‘begging, a case prohibited by article 14 of the municipal regulation on the protection of animals – he writes in a note -. Unfortunately there are few checks, and when citizens call the municipal police or 112 to report animals in difficulty following beggars or “problematic subjects”, the report is almost never followed by prompt intervention. Oipa is also for this reason asking the Capitol to introduce special figures in the municipal police force so that the reports are followed by immediate interventions against individuals who mistreat animals and who usually stay in the reported place only for a short time”.
