An episode that aroused dismay and bewilderment in Cagliari, and on which animal rights activists now want to go deeper. This is the case of the death of the little dog Marvel , a two-year-old Australian shepherd who the goalscorer Giovanni Simeone had left at a friend's house since he moved to Verona, the team that in recent days redeemed him from the rossoblù club.

The dog died in excruciating suffering after being poisoned with snail poison. And now AIDAA , the Italian Association for the Defense of Animals and the Environment, explains through a press release that it has "decided to establish a reward-bounty of 5,000 euros that will be paid to those who, with their testimony given in accordance with the law, to the authorities who they are investigating will make it possible to identify and definitively convict the person responsible or responsible for this crime ".

Boutade or concrete incentive to shed light on the truth is not known, but what is certain is that environmentalists are strongly determined to get to the bottom of the story . "It is an ignoble and criminal act to kill a dog by poisoning it, whatever the motivations that push criminal hands to do so - the AIDAA animal rights activists write in a note - and everything becomes even worse when the reasons are futile or even worse when an animal is cowardly hit for reasons related to the profession of its human ".

"While we express our closeness to Giovanni Simeone - conclude the animal rights activists - we condemn the author of the gesture ", "only a homunculus of this invoice can in fact make a similar gesture against an innocent soul like Marvel was".
