Four young men were convicted of
torturing and killing a dog in the Calabrian town of Sangineto
last November.
The four - Giuseppe Liparoto, Nicholas Fusaro and Francesco
and Luca Bonanata - were found guilty of torturing the dog,
Angelo, before finishing him off with a spade.
The youths were sentenced to the maximum penalty of one year,
four months in jail and also ordered to do six months' service
at a dog pound.
