Backed by over 5,000 signatures, we demanded an end to the keeping of dogs on chains.<\/p>\n<p>Two years later, we are thrilled to hear about the adoption of a new regional law introducing a ban on the tethering of dogs. This is an important step forward, and we are proud to have contributed to its introduction.<\/p>\n<p>The Piedmont Region has in fact established a law on animal welfare that provides for the <strong>abolition of the use of chains<\/strong>. This legislation consolidates several proposals into one unified text and received approval through a bipartisan vote in the Regional Council.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the use of chains will be eliminated, except in highly specific and exceptional circumstances. Additionally, <strong>efforts to combat stray animal populations<\/strong> will be intensified through the creation of a regional database, <strong>raising awareness about abandonment and abuse<\/strong>, implementing new protocols to prevent unprovoked attacks, <strong>addressing issues related to genetic engineering<\/strong>, and formally acknowledging shelters for previously exploited animals seeking new homes.<\/p>\n<p>This legislative action marks a notable advancement towards a more humane society that prioritizes animal welfare, redressing a deficiency that had previously seen Piedmont lagging behind compared to other regions.<\/p>\n<p>Since the publication of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/towards-prohibiting-the-chaining-of-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report on chained dogs<\/a> (March 2021), three regions have already have taken steps to amend their regulations. <strong>Campania<\/strong> has introduced fines for those who violate the ban, while the <strong>Lazio<\/strong> <strong>Region <\/strong>has shifted from legislation resembling that of Piedmont to an outright ban, with exceptions granted only for certified health reasons determined by a veterinarian. Similarly, <strong>Tuscany<\/strong> and the <strong>Province of Trento<\/strong> have also made changes to their laws in response to the report&#8217;s findings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A distanza di due anni siamo felici di apprendere la notizia della nuova legge regionale che introduce il divieto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1189,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
