For killing an animal with cruelty, torture, or by deliberately prolonging suffering: Prison sentence of 6 months to 4 years, plus a fine of up to €60,000 (roughly $65,000 USD, depending on exchange rates).
This roughly doubled the previous maximum penalties (which were up to 3 years and €30,000 in many cases).
Mistreatment/abuse (without necessarily causing death): Up to 2 years in prison, with no option to substitute a fine in some cases.
Aggravating factors (e.g., done in front of minors, against multiple animals, or if videos/images are shared online) can increase the penalty further (by up to one-third).
Other related measures: Bans on permanently chaining dogs outdoors, stricter rules against animal fighting (2–4 years for organizing), puppy trafficking, and abandoning animals.
The law also symbolically advances the idea that animals are sentient beings (legal "subjects" rather than mere property), though the core changes are in the criminal penalties.b43eef
The meme dramatizes the maximum penalties for the most severe cases (especially torture or cruel killing). Not every act of neglect or minor harm automatically triggers 4 years in prison—courts consider specifics—but the law marks a clear shift toward treating deliberate, serious animal cruelty as a real crime with meaningful consequences.
This has been widely shared on social media as a positive example of strong animal protection, often with Brambilla's image since she has long championed these issues.
Bottom line: The claim in the image is factually grounded in Italy's 2025 legal reforms. It's not exaggerated in terms of the upper limits, though real-world enforcement and sentencing will vary by case, as with any law. Many animal welfare groups have welcomed it as a significant step forward.

It all started in 2012 when his cat Orville got hit by a car. Jansen decided it would be a shame to simply bury his late feline friend, so he drew inspiration from his pet's namesake, Orville Wright, one of the Wright Brothers, the inventors of heavier-than-air flight. Jansen gutted Orville, preserved him, and turned him into a custom quadcopter.

The response was huge. Jansen had recruited the help of technical engineer Arjen Beltman to design and help fly his "half-cat, half-machine creation," and it was covered everywhere from Mail Online to Forbes.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the unconventional drone caused "global outrage" after footage of it went viral. The "Orvillecopter," as Jansen calls it, was subsequently exhibited at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam.

Photos released by the Iranian state and semi-official media appear to show fragments from a U.S.-made Tomahawk missile at the site of the deadly strike that hit an elementary school in Minab, southern Iran, where at least 175 people — most of them children — were reported killed.

The debris, displayed near the remains of the damaged school, included an electric motor marked “Made in USA”, alongside parts bearing the names of U.S. manufacturers.

According to CNN's analysis, this appears to be from an American Tomahawk cruise missile. CNN said it was not possible to confirm whether the fragments were from the school strike, a strike on a neighbouring Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base or from elsewhere. The news organisation, however, said they appear to be consistent with a U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missile.

On Sunday (Mar. 8), Donald Trump told reporters that, “based on what I’ve seen,” the strike on the school “was done by Iran”, though Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth stopped short of confirming that claim, saying investigations were still ongoing.

At a rally in Kentucky on Wednesday night, President Donald Trump declared that the United States had prevailed in the conflict with Iran, though he did not present detailed evidence to support the claim. “Let me just say — we won,” Trump told the crowd. “You never want to say it too early, but we won. Honestly, it was over in the first hour. But we won.”

During the speech, Trump also described how the name Operation Epic Fury was chosen. According to the president, officials presented him with a list of roughly 20 possible names, but none of them stood out. “They showed me about 20 names and I was practically falling asleep reading them,” he said. “Then I saw Epic Fury and I thought, ‘That’s the one. I like that name.’”

Water is the only substance on Earth that is present in all three states of matter – as a solid, liquid, or gas. (And Earth is the only planet where water is present in all three states.) Because of the ranges in temperature in specific locations around the planet, all three phases may be present in a single location or in a region. The three phases are solid (ice or snow), liquid (water), and gas (water v***r). Because Earth’s water is present in all three states, it can get into a variety of environments around the planet. The movement of water around the Earth’s surface is the hydrologic (water) cycle.

Because it is a cycle, the water cycle has no beginning and no end.
The Sun, many millions of kilometers away, provides the energy that drives the water cycle. Our nearest star directly impacts the water cycle by supplying the energy needed for ev***ration.

Most of Earth’s water is stored in the oceans where it can remain for hundreds or thousands of years. The oceans are discussed in detail in the chapter Earth’s Oceans.

Water changes from a liquid to a gas by ev***ration to become water v***r. The Sun’s energy can ev***rate water from the ocean surface or from lakes, streams, or puddles on land. Only the water molecules ev***rate; the salts remain in the ocean or a freshwater reservoir.
