Dogs from San Marco in Lamis are also hosted in the Foggia facility in via Tratturo Camporeale. Antonietta Torelli (Noah’s Ark): «It’s time to react»
«Horrible death for Black, transferred a few months ago from the municipal kennel of Foggia to the shelter Enpa in via Tratturo Camporeale. He gets his head stuck in the net and the dogs from the adjacent box attack him, causing him a terrible death. Black, who for years lived happily in the much-maligned municipal kennel, was unable to do anything to defend himself. For months we have been asking in vain for a table from the Mayor and the Councilor for Social Policies precisely to discuss the many critical issues that we feared after signing the agreement with Enpa for the transfer of dogs from the municipal kennel to that facility which also hosts dogs from San Marco in Lamis and Lucera”.
Thus begins the press release released on Facebook by Terry Marangellipresident of the Foggia Animal Protection Volunteers and his colleague Alessandra Ludovica Pierettipresident of the “A Largo Raggio” association.
The complaint was also joined by the San Marino woman Antonietta Torellipresident of the animal rights association Noah’s Ark, which until recently – with negligible costs for the Municipality – managed the phenomenon of stray dogs in San Marco in Lamis. Management then, amidst a thousand controversies, entrusted to Enpa «with an increase in the service from 21 thousand to 120 thousand euros per year in addition to an ongoing dispute. And as if a completely absent service wasn’t enough, a waste of public money in simple words”denounced the opposition at the time with a note signed by the San Marco Confederation.
«A tender – continues Terry Marangelli – with many shadows that our associations had harshly contested from the beginning. After a few months, a more than negative balance sheet. The unacceptable death of Black, an epidemic of parvovirus that killed dozens of puppies, are just some of the disturbing aspects of a structure where the animals have no opportunity to roam and live their lives perpetually in the boxes, as well as some dogs who from their entrance they stay in the four square meter isolation boxes because there is no possibility of arranging them differently. Not to mention the cats held in a large room in the same facility despite the negative opinion of the Veterinary Services of the Puglia Region. Rest in peace, Black.”
