Sara Turetta, President and Founder of Save the Dogs and Other Animals<\/em>,<\/strong> has been honored with the Margherita D’Argento 2022<\/em> prize.<\/strong> Now in its 19th<\/sup> edition, the Margherita d’Argento is the annual award presented by the Trieste Cattery Association<\/strong> <\/em>to a female with a great love of cats, who shares the organization\u2019s aims of caring for and sheltering stray animals.<\/p>\n Sara Turetta, an international animal rights activist, has received numerous awards for her efforts, including being named Knight of the Star of Italy (\u2018Cavaliere della Stella d\u2019Italia\u2019) by the President of the Republic in 2012. It all began twenty years ago. Sara was working in a prestigious advertising agency in Milan when she chose to resign after an eye-opening trip to Romania in 2002. She moved to Cernavoda to start up a number of projects tackling the phenomenon of stray animals, with the objective of wanting to change the fate of animals destined to be put down in the country’s public dog pounds. Save the Dogs and Other Animals<\/em> was born, and since then Sara has been dividing her time between Italy and Romania, running the association’s Milan office and lobbying both nationally and internationally. During its 20 years of activity, the association has become a benchmark for combating the canine and feline overpopulation that is caused by human beings, which is responsible for both the endemic situation of stray animals in certain territories and also the elimination and imprisonment of millions of cats and dogs in shelters around the world.<\/p>\n “I am truly honored to pick up the baton passed on by these two extraordinary women with whom, by the way, I feel extremely connected. Brigitte Bardot, with her personal advocacy in Romania, has been a great source of inspiration to me. In fact, it was after reading about her battles to stop the slaughter of stray animals that I decided to move there, as I felt compelled to take action. <\/em><\/p>\n Today we actively collaborate with the Brigitte Bardot Foundation on the Ukraine emergency and other issues.<\/em> A beautiful friendship was born with Susanna Tamaro, because we share not only a boundless love for animals but the same vision of life and the world<\/em>. I would like to thank \u2018Il Gattile\u2019 for this recognition, which is a real incentive to move forward with determination and tenacity”,<\/em> commented Sara Turetta, President of Save the Dogs<\/em>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Founder of Save the Dogs and Other Animals received the award from The Trieste Cattery Association, established in honor of Margherita Hack.

La cerimonia di consegna \u00e8 in programma per il 18 giugno.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p> Sara Turetta, Presidente e Fondatrice di Save the Dogs and Other Animals<\/em>, ottiene il premio Margherita D\u2019Argento 2022<\/strong>. Giunto alla XIX edizione, la Margherita d\u2019Argento \u00e8 il riconoscimento annuale che l\u2019Associazione Il Gattile OdV di Trieste<\/em><\/strong> conferisce a una donna che ama i gatti e che condivide le finalit\u00e0 di cura e ricovero dei randagi.<\/p> Sara Turetta, attivista internazionale per i diritti animali, per il suo impegno ha ricevuto numerosi riconoscimenti, tra cui la nomina a Cavaliere della Stella d\u2019Italia da parte del Presidente della Repubblica (2012). Tutto inizia vent'anni fa. Sara lavorava in una prestigiosa agenzia di pubblicit\u00e0\u00a0a Milano quando, nel 2002, dopo un drammatico viaggio in Romania, decide di dare le dimissioni e trasferirsi a Cernavoda per avviare progetti di gestione al randagismo con la missione di voler cambiare il destino degli animali destinati ad essere soppressi nei canili pubblici del paese.<\/p> Nasce cos\u00ec Save the Dogs and Other Animals<\/em> e da allora Sara si divide tra l\u2019Italia e la Romania, occupandosi di dirigere la sede milanese dell\u2019associazione e svolgendo attivit\u00e0 di lobbying a livello nazionale e internazionale. In 20 anni di attivit\u00e0 l'associazione \u00e8 diventata un riferimento per la lotta al sovrappopolamento canino e felino causato dall'essere umano, da cui hanno origine sia il randagismo endemico di alcuni territori quanto l'eliminazione e la prigionia di milioni di cani e gatti nei rifugi di tutto il mondo.<\/p> \u201cSono onorata di raccogliere il testimone da queste due immense donne a cui sono, tra l\u2019altro, molto legata. Brigitte Bardot, con il suo impegno in prima persona in Romania, \u00e8 stata una grande fonte di ispirazione per me. Infatti, dopo aver letto delle sue battaglie per fermare il massacro dei randagi, ho deciso di trasferirmi l\u00ec perch\u00e9 sentivo il dovere di agire. <\/em><\/p> Oggi collaboriamo attivamente con la Fondazione Brigitte Bardot nell\u2019emergenza Ucraina e non solo. Con Susanna Tamaro \u00e8 nata una bella amicizia poich\u00e9 condividiamo non solo l\u2019amore sconfinato per gli animali ma la stessa visione del mondo e della vita<\/em>. Ringrazio Il Gattile per questo riconoscimento che \u00e8 uno stimolo ad andare avanti con determinazione e tenacia\u201d, <\/em>dichiara Sara Turetta, Presidente di Save the Dogs.<\/em><\/p> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[96,100],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-news-en-2"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GATTILE-2022_BERGAMASCO_45.png\")

Dopo Brigitte Bardot e la scrittrice Susanna Tamaro<\/strong>, premiata lo scorso anno, il testimone passa a Sara Turetta seguendo il filo invisibile ma solido che accumuna queste donne: l\u2019amore per gli animali e l\u2019attivismo in prima persona per cambiare il destino dei pi\u00f9 deboli.<\/p>
