Report animal cruelty in Italy

Did you see an animal mistreated, abandoned, kept in bad conditions or in danger while in Italy, or in a video online? Tell us what is happening. The legal team of Animal Law Italia reads every report and answers you, telling you whether and how they can act. You can write in English.

A dog tied to a short chain in a bare courtyard; outside the fence a person takes a photo of it.

Write REPORT to +39 379 155 5556: Pet Law’s automatic assistant asks you the form’s questions one at a time, takes photos, videos, voice notes and the location, then sends you a recap: send it from there by writing SEND, or read and correct it on the website. It is an experimental service: we are the first in Italy to take animal cruelty reports through a chatbot.

Something you saw online: five things to know
  • Don’t share or comment on it: that spreads it further, and whoever posted it might delete it.
  • Save it now, before it disappears: the link, a screenshot or a screen recording, the account name, the date you saw it. Stories and live streams too.
  • Report it to the platform as well: the more reports it gets, the likelier it is to come down.
  • We can only file complaints in Italy for things that happened in Italy. If you can tell where it was filmed, let us know.
  • Your identity stays confidential: the content is public, so no witness statement is needed and you won’t be named.
