“Angels of mud” at work in dramatic conditions even for animals. They are the zoophile guards and the volunteers of the International Animal Protection Organization (Oipa) who have been working hard since yesterday morning to save the four-legged victims of the flood that struck in the Marche The Cuori Pelosi di Senigallia refuge, which rises in the flood zone despite the many requests to the Municipality to find a suitable location, was evacuated but two cats lost their lives.
“It is the second flood, after that of 2014, which affects this structure – says Luana Bedetti, regional coordinator of the Oipa zoophile guards of Ancona and its province -. With the volunteers of the Biagio’s Group association and other small associations in the area we have taken away all the dogs, now housed in a shelter of the Melampo di Fano association. One of the dogs, Tobia, injured a leg and underwent an emergency operation. Disabled animals were promptly rescued during the night. The rescued cats were immediately diverted to the Bastianoni di Marotta clinic, as always available for emergencies in our territory, only to be divided into a stall by the volunteers ».
The solidarity chain has also been set in motion for animals: the Cattery Anta of Ancona has given its availability to welcome the animals that the Oipa zoophile guards and the volunteers of Biagio’s Group are continuing to fish out from the debris of this disaster, and are many good-hearted people who came to help the four-legged “mud angels”.
“We hope that the Municipality of Senigallia will set up a new structure in a suitable place, since having a structure of that kind next to the river is already madness, but not having found a solution in almost 10 years to be able to secure the animals and thus avoid them. death, as happened in 2014, is unacceptable. There is so much to build and rebuild to help and we ask everyone to give us a hand », observes Luana Bedetti.
Oipa volunteers and guards continue incessantly in the rescue and rescue work in extreme conditions in search of the missing: “Yesterday we recovered a dog from the river and had it hospitalized, we also rescued two other dogs, always pulled up by the river, one of which with a large wound under the neck for which we asked the Asur to intervene – concludes Luana Bedetti -. Several dogs died in the boxes, and, if tied up, in the grounds and gardens. We will never stop remembering that when there are weather warnings, animals must be moved from danger zones and made safe. Even cats let loose on these tragic occasions can look for places to hide and remain closed or stuck there ».
In the last hours in a ditch a lifeless cat was recovered with her kittens. Only one of them survived.
