He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himAlso 'indifference towards their pets is punishable. It was decided there Supreme Court that with regard to the sentence 18892/11 filed on May 13, 2011, it established that "the sense of neglect or disinterest in someone or something, or even just lack of attention" is also considered a crime.
La Third Criminal Section of the Supreme Court in fact it has validated a fine of One thousand Euro for abandonment of animals towards a man who had remained completely "indifferent" to the loss of your dog. Despite the defense having explained that the dog had fled during a hunting trip and despite the initial searches it had never been found, the Supreme Court deemed the decision taken by the judge in 2009, the year in which the dispute began, appropriate: "The consequence drawn by the judge about the unlikely likelihood of the defensive thesis of the loss, given that, if this had really happened, precisely because the dog was equipped with a microchip, it would have been logical to expect that the owner would have worked for the dog by reporting its disappearance " .
Furthermore, according to the Supreme Court “Albeit with different connotations, the criminal law concept of abandonment is also taken up by art. 591 of the Criminal Code on the subject of abandonment of incapable persons "where abandonment means" not only the mere detachment but also the failure of the agent to fulfill his duties of custody and care and the awareness of leaving the taxable person in a situation of inability to provide for himself ".
Rejoice animal rights activists: “Once again - comments the lawyer Carla Campanaro of the Legal Department of LOW - the strict diligence required in keeping an animal is confirmed, so that abandonment can also be integrated for conduct of superficiality and guilt and not only when it is intentional ".
"We express our applause for the sentence of the Court of Cassation which, by correctly expanding the concept of abandonment, overcomes the literal sense of total and definitive detachment from the animal, instead rightly qualifying it as neglect or disinterest in it - he declared Ilaria Innocenti, head of the Dogs and Cats sector of the LAV - The sentence is perfectly in line with the increased sense of respect for animals shown by the most recent jurisprudence ".
