Below are the words of the Honorable Barbara Mazzali , regional councilor for Lombardy (Fratelli d'Italia): "I called William Baccini a little while ago. He was at the Carabinieri, and I couldn't help but tell him how sorry I am... I know my friend is a tough cookie, but I also know that when they touch the things you love, it opens a wound in your heart. Here are the photos of William's house and shed (taken from Caccia & Dintorni) after last night's ALF raid . Furniture and belongings destroyed, decoys released, and some items stolen. Vandals, criminals.
People who want to instill their ideas by force... who preach peace and revel in violence . Dear William, we'll talk more calmly later. Now is the time for anger, and you have every right to feel the weight of a justice system that isn't taking its course. I'm furious too, just looking at the photos; I can't imagine how you feel . You're right to report it: the police must curb these acts of vandalism , and society as a whole must condemn these criminals without any ifs or buts."
