ENPA gets ex-Mafia farm

 

ROME--Fourteen years after the late American SPCA president Roger Caras issued a tongue-in-cheek appeal to Mafioso to leave their estates to animal welfare, the Italian national animal charity ENPA has received one--in a manner of speaking. Confiscated from the Sicilian Mafia, the small farm near Palermo was judicially awarded to ENPA for use in teaching humane and moral education. The farm will produce honey, beeswax, and natural silk by methods that do not harm the insects.
