"When they become too old or, as in this case, they are victims of accidents that do not allow them to work as claimed by the owners - explains Piera Rosati , president of the association that filed the lawsuit for killing an animal, aggravated by cruelty and lack of necessity, as foreseen by the penal code - these dogs are sentenced to death by the very people for whom they would give their life ".

Nothing particularly serious, a fracture that could have been fixed with a "This operation was carried out by a competent veterinarian. But this would have involved costs and probably Tosca would no longer be efficient in hunting. For this reason her owner decided to shoot her in the head, killing her".
