Sit-in for cats in Bancali.

Tomorrow at 6:00 PM, a peaceful, nonpartisan protest will be held in front of the Sassari prison in support of the felines held there. The demonstration comes after the prison warden, on July 15th, ordered, as the official notice states, "an absolute ban on feeding the animals, also to counteract the effects of periodic disinfestations."

The decision provoked vehement reactions, even from prison police unions who called for a U-turn, which has so far not happened.

The organizers of tomorrow's sit-in say they are saying "no to this unjust and cruel decision and we are mobilizing to give a voice to those who cannot defend themselves."

They also ask for "the restoration of food for the feline colonies, transparency regarding hygiene and health reasons, and collaboration with volunteers and local health authorities for sterilization and management of the cats."
