Eboli, runner attacked by a molossian

Phobia of large dogs. The stories chase each other. There Campolongo tragedy Of Eboli brought to light several anecdotes with people injured by pit bulls and other molossers. He ended up in hospital two months ago, Renato LC., son of a former municipal official. The young man was in Serracapilli, south of the sports facilities. He ran in the street, a habit of many people from Eboli: «At the intersection with the tomato factory – he says – a white pit bull appeared. He bit me in the belly. The dog emerged from a homeless lot. And he was without a leash or muzzle». Renato returned to the car and reached the Eboli hospital where he was treated. «I still bear the marks of that bite. The fear is still alive. On foot or by bike, there are areas of Eboli where large dogs run free due to irresponsible owners».

Monday afternoon, after the tragedy of Francesco Pio, Vito Ciccaronea volunteer from Eboli, had invited the mayor to increase controls in the centre: «Too many large dogs walk without a leash. Nobody is muzzled. The mayor makes an ordinance». Yesterday morning Mario Conte e Antonio Corsetto (mayor and councilor for safety) responded to the invitation: «The ordinance is not necessary, there is a national law that requires owners of large dogs to keep them in public areas with a leash and muzzle». The problem is the controls. And the fines to the owners who are often prejudiced, bullies and arrogant. In fact, in the municipality of Eboli, there is no record of a fine being given to the owner of a Molosser for walking around without a leash or muzzle.
