Horror and indignation are being aroused in the small community of Marghine di Birori by the massacre of cats, who died poisoned amidst much suffering and were even decapitated. The mayor, Silvia Cadeddu , reported the incident and mobilized the police to discover the alleged killer of the animals.

Decapitated cats, with their remains abandoned on the street, like macabre trophies.

«A horror that cannot be seen - says the mayor, quite struck by what is happening in her small community -. What happened denotes total incivility. I will fight in every way to ensure that the person responsible is discovered and I will report him criminally. We know that in our municipality there is an office for free sterilizations, without resorting to these uncivilized and barbaric methods. Anyone who kills and causes suffering to an animal is guilty of a criminal offence. You risk a heavy sentence."

In recent months, around twenty cats have disappeared in Birori alone. Some were poisoned, with the use of substances that were highly dangerous even for people.

What has happened is creating alarm and now the hunt for animal killers has begun.
