The wave of bad weather is bringing eastern Sicily to its knees and there is great concern for the Mediterranean cyclone, renamed Apollo, which in these hours is breaking down in Syracuse. The storms and strong winds causing numerous damage and the dramatic toll of the people who lost their lives in the province of Catania in recent days has risen to three. The mayors of the various municipalities of Syracuse and Catania are asking citizens to stay at home and have ordered the closure of schools, offices and shops.
But pets are also threatened by floods, as well as stray ones. And luckily there are also those who are thinking about them. To save them the mayor of Bronte, Etna municipality known for the production of PDO pistachio, has issued an ordinance that - in addition to closing schools and municipal offices on 28 and 29 October - prohibits keeping "pets in chains or tied with any other similar means of restraint or confining pets in cages, boxes, terraces, fences, balconies, and limited spaces."

A choice of common sense (but which has not been adopted by many other mayors) that protects dogs, cats and other pets, which risk losing their lives even if they do not live on the streets.
It is really necessary to avert what happened last summer in Sardinia where many animals lost their lives or suffered burns due to fires - underlines the LAV (Anti-Vivisection League), which in these days is bringing numerous animals to the rescue. danger from flood - Water is no less dangerous than fire and having a regulatory tool to protect animals as much as possible is an act of civilization.
