The disappearance of several dogs in the small town of Raviscanina, in the province of Caserta, last summer, has turned into a tragedy far more macabre than initially imagined. What seemed to be a simple disappearance of animals has become a case of extreme violence. The bodies of three of the missing dogs were in fact found lifeless in the collection tank of the municipal sewage treatment plant, after having been brutally beaten and killed.
The horror emerged following an appeal for the missing animals, which, however, was followed by an eerie silence. “The person or persons responsible for this vile, brutal and insane act have not yet been brought to justice”, declared Francesco Emilio Borrelli, a member of the Green-Side Alliance, who responded to the appeal of some residents of the area. “Whoever is capable of such atrocities, who knows what else they could do. This story cannot be forgotten.”
The discovery of the bodies, thrown in such an unsuspecting place, has raised a wave of indignation among the local community and beyond. The inhabitants of Raviscanina are deeply shocked by the barbaric murder of the animals, demanding justice and that all necessary steps be taken to identify those responsible. Local authorities have launched investigations to try to shed light on what happened, but at the moment the culprits are still unknown.
The situation of Raviscanina is very serious and makes you think about how animals are treated in this society. I hope that the authorities do everything possible to find out who did these horrendous things. It is unacceptable.
