Alessandria, 6 setters seized by Oipa zoophile guards
Relegated to a desolate 40 square meter menagerie, in a degraded sanitary environment
Alessandria, 6 setters seized by Oipa zoophile guards.
Six setters, four females and two males, relegated to a desolate 40 square meter menagerie, in a degraded hygienic-sanitary context, were seized by the zoophile guards of the International Animal Protection Organization (Oipa) of Alessandria. The holder, a hunter from Alessandria, was sanctioned pursuant to the laws of the Piedmont Region n. 34/1993 and n. 18/04.
«We intervened after an anonymous report and found the six dogs in a dilapidated setting, quite exhausted, forced to live in the open in three uninsulated kennels, abandoned to themselves on a floor of waste and excrement", tells Claudio Ivaldi, deputy coordinator of Oipa zoophile guards of Alessandria and its province.
«They had little water available, in some bowls there was even moss and grass. Not only that: the setters were not registered in the canine registry, they did not have vaccination certificates and, having not been sterilised, perhaps they were also used to give birth to litters».
Now the six dogs are housed in a kennel and can be taken into temporary foster care after the sterilization operation and as part of the regular administrative process that has been started.
THEOipa invites us not to ignore cases of degradation and mistreatment of which one is aware and of always contact your zookeepers who, in full respect of privacy, can intervene to protect animals.
