In a shocking incident that has sparked widespread outrage, a video showing a teenager throwing a kitten from a bridge in Lanusei, a town in Sardinia, has gone viral. The video was filmed by a friend of the teenager and also features a young girl who encourages the act and laughs as the kitten falls into the void.
Identificazione dei colpevoli
The incident, which occurred a few weeks ago, was reported by local animal rights associations. They came across the video in some chat groups where it had been shared and quickly went viral. The two teenagers involved, a boy and a girl aged between 14 and 17, have been identified and reported to the juvenile prosecutor's office in Cagliari on charges of animal abuse.
Reazioni e conseguenze
The video has caused a wave of indignation across Italy. The Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, expressed his disgust on social media, calling for harsher penalties for those who abuse or even kill animals. He referred to the teenagers as "disgusting" and "damned", and urged for the acceleration of a bill proposed by the Lega party, currently under consideration, which aims to increase penalties for animal abuse.
Chiamata all'azione
Following the incident, an online petition has been launched calling for stricter penalties for animal abuse. The case has caused outrage on the web, where threats have also appeared against the minors involved. In just a few hours, the petition on the Change.org platform has collected nearly 600 signatures. This incident has highlighted the urgent need for stronger laws and stricter enforcement to protect animals from such cruel acts.
