Summary
ANSA - ROME, JUL 20 - The death of four puppies left on terrace in the Sicilian town of Sciacca with no water or protection from the baking sun amid the current heatwave has caused widespread outrage across Italy. Montalbano said the mother—a Maremma Sheepdog—and the surviving puppies are now out of danger after treatment while the male dogs—a Pinscher and a Belgian Shepherd—were in good enough health to have been placed in a kennel. The dogs owners now face criminal charges although animal rights activist Enrico Rizzi said any punishment will not fit the felony.
Furthermore, "Even if they are found guilty, they will not spend even one day in jail under the current law, because the punishments is such cases remain under the threshold for prison ," he said. A horrific video circulating on the Internet shows the situation rescuers faced, with the puppies crying in distress and the mother desperately moving to and fro unable to help them. The puppies were part of a litter of six left on the terrace along with three other dogs - their mother, and two male animals.
