Bruno, a 7-year-old bloodhound, was found dead Friday morning in his shed in southern Taranto. His trainer, Arcangelo Caressa, said he had been fed bits of dog food laced with nails.

In a social media post Tuesday, Caressa urged police to "find the killers before I do."

Absolutely sad.

Caressa said he had told prosecutors that he suspected he was the ultimate target of Bruno's killers, and that Bruno was killed "to get to me." He cited his efforts at rescuing dogs that were being used for illegal dogfights, saying he had already received threats for his work. He said he gave police investigators the names of two people who he suspected.

People who fight dogs or participate in any fashion are among the worst IMO. Severely lacking some connections there. Just sick.

The new animal protection law, known as the Brambilla law, went into effect on July 1 and calls for up to four years in prison and a 60,000-euro (around a $70,000) fine, with the stiffest penalties applied if the mistreatment is committed in front of children or is filmed and disseminated online.

I suppose that will have to do. But rather they be found, mouth filled with nails and slammed shut along with their time and fine.
But I know; can't do that...

But why? You'll receive medical attention afterwards. Whether you make it to serve your time, don't really care.
Innocent dog was just trying to eat, and probably suffered terribly.

No punishment would be harsh enough.
