For days, the Carabinieri and the municipal police have been on the trail of what everyone in the village considers to be the “cat killer” on which a complaint (for now) against unknown persons hangs. «For weeks in the village, in Via Umberto I and neighboring streets, cats have disappeared or died. Specifically, the area of interest starts from the parish and ends at the church of San Rocco ”was written in a detailed report attached to the complaint and delivered on Friday to the police.
The kittens killed are not only strays, perhaps cared for by some kind-hearted people, but also cats owned by the residents. In addition to the animals found dead (three with sticks) there are at least five that have been missing for days. To date, there is an alleged complaint from an eyewitness who saw a middle-aged man beat cats. Presumed, because the carabinieri did not know, but this episode was also reported in the complaint delivered on Friday while a regular complaint was signed by the owner of a kitten massacred with a stick.
“We know who the infamous author of all this is but we cannot make his personal details public because no one has caught him in the act and therefore we cannot risk being sued even though we know we are on the right side – say the petitioners of the complaint – Naturally we have informed those in charge to make the necessary investigations ».
Meanwhile, a veterinarian who has taken the situation to heart has sent several samples of the cats found dead to be analyzed in the laboratory to find out the cause or rather, the poison used to kill them.
Another event of unprecedented cruelty happened between Valperga and Cuorgnè where a feline colony would have been exterminated with morsels containing glass splinters. The volunteers of the cattery of Rivarolo managed to save a kitten with puppies, now all ready to be adopted.
