Italy: Tax break offered for dog adoptions

Councillors in Mascalucia, near the eastern city of Catania, have unanimously approved a plan to cut refuse taxes for people who give a dog from the local shelter a new home, La Sicilia website reports. Residents can get up to 50% off their rubbish-disposal bill under the new scheme, the website says. And it's not a one-time offer - discounts will continue for up to three years after an adoption is made.
