Breeding facility seized in Caserta – An illegal breeding facility for large dogs, including pit bulls, kept in precarious sanitary conditions, was dismantled by the Carabinieri Forestry Corps in a joint operation with the Caserta Local Health Authority's veterinary service. The breeding facility, located on a fenced property, housed the animals in makeshift structures and in inadequate conditions.
The Carabinieri found the dogs tied to short iron chains inside open-sided kennels covered with insulated panels. Among the animals were two pit bulls, two Dogo Argentinos, two American Staffordshire Terriers, and a German Shepherd, all deprived of food and adequate care. One of the pit bulls showed signs of a bilateral conchectomy, or ear cropping, a practice prohibited in Italy.
The owner of the breeding farm was reported for animal cruelty and detention in conditions incompatible with their nature, causing serious suffering. The dogs were seized and entrusted to an authorized facility to ensure their safety and well-being.
