The dog, honored for heroism in rescue events, could have been a goal of revenge for his participation in raids against dog matches.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed an outrage on the report that the search and rescue dog Bruno, who recently awarded a honor for his many heroic acts, someone killed when he set him in the shed as a bait of Viennese sausage closed nails.
As ANSA informed, there is a suspicion that the trap set on Bruno – dog Bloodhound known for his exceptional smell – was a revenge for his work during police operations against groups organizing dog matches.
Brutal death of a dog
According to the director of the Endas Cynology Center near Taranto Arcangela Caress, “murderers let Bruna suffer for hours” – according to the Italian media, the dog died of bleeding.
In connection with the case, MEP Michela Vittoria Brambill reported a criminal complaint. She recalled that the New Testament sets for anyone who kills an animal torture or intentional prolongation of its suffering, imprisonment for up to four years and a fine of EUR 60,000.
