A 48-year-old real estate agent, MA, from Loreto Aprutino was reported for animal abandonment: his mare was tied with a one-meter long lead rope to a small tree in the garden, without water or food and in a dangerous position.

The Italian Association for the Defense of Animals and the Environment is raising the alarm: according to their calculations, in Italy there are 45.000 horses abandoned or left without care.

Tougher penalties for people who mistreat or abandon horses: this is what the European Parliament is calling for in a non-legislative resolution approved with 656 votes in favour, 10 against and 27 abstentions.
