AND "MILANIA" TAKES IT OUT WITH THOSE WHO ATTACKED THE MAYOR OF MODICA: "NAZIS"
Porta a Porta opens to dogs. And it is controversy
No veterinarians among the guests, protests by Fnovi who also writes to the undersecretary for Welfare
MILAN - Apart from Vittorio Sgarbi, they were all accompanied by their four-legged friend. A famous big dog, like the one with whom Kaspar Capparoni, or the well-known Commissioner Rex of the homonymous TV series, presented himself. A foundling looking for a new home, like the nice half-breed who accompanied the Undersecretary for Welfare, Francesca Martini. A professional in his work, like Hon. Gabriele Cimadoro.
A champion of obedience, like the border collie of the trainer Massimo Perla. All in the spotlight in the studio in Porta a Porta, Bruno Vespa's living room, who on Tuesday dedicated the entire episode to four-legged friends. Starting from a political news relaunched in the previous days by the press agencies: the impasse in the Chamber on the ratification of the European Convention for the protection of pets, which introduces the prohibition of mistreatment and mutilation of dogs, sanctioning it with prison .
CROSS VIEWS - The debate took into consideration issues such as the tail docking that Vespa used to re-propose the eternal dilemma: is it right or left? As might have been expected, the issue has gathered cross-cutting opinions, with Undersecretary Martini and Minister of Tourism Michela Vittoria Brambilla along the same lines as the president of the Greens, Angelo Bonelli. And the latter in contrast with Cimadoro, an exponent of the opposition to the Berlusconi government. In short, speaking of animals, the traditional distinction between center-right and center-left definitely ends up diluting.
«A DISASTER DR. WASP»- Among the many guests invited by the conductor - in addition to the political exponents and the trainer Massimo Perla there were exponents of the canine units of the Guardia di Finanza, Sgarbi as mayor of Salemi and the opera singer Katia Ricciarelli - however, a category was missing that on the subject of mutilation for aesthetic purposes he could have expressed an authoritative opinion: that of veterinarians. That the next day, through the president of Fnovi (the National Federation of Italian veterinary orders), Gaetano Penocchio, took a stand against the way in which the affair was handled. A letter was sent to the editorial staff of the program and also to Undersecretary Martini. The transmission on Tuesday evening - we read in Penocchio's note, “once again saw the absence of veterinarians. The conclusion is lapidary: if one wanted to promote ignorance and superficiality, without giving the possibility of real information, the result has been brilliantly achieved. A disaster dr. Vespa, due to the incredible exclusion of the only competent profession: ours ». Dr. Anna Negro, owner of the Corriere.it forum, also intervenes on the question, "The veterinarian responds".
THE ACCUSATION OF MILANIA - In the meantime, "Milania", the Milanese cultural "think tank" directed by Alessio Aleotti which has as guarantors Piero Bassetti and Carlo Tognoli, who in an article entitled "The dog is a beast" points the finger at the stance of almost all the guests against the mayor of Modica, who in the aftermath of the attack of a child by a group of stray dogs decided to issue an order authorizing the hunting and killing of animals. The article highlights that "in the study of Vespa a violent reaction was unleashed against the mayor, guilty, according to the inhuman mind of these beasts disguised as politicians, of having ordered a slaughter of poor animals without respecting all the complex and onerous procedure that the hyperegulation of the matter would have imposed ». And again: «When, then, a self-styled" technician "of the subject made his idiotic joke about dangerous dog breeds:" the only dangerous breed is the human one ", the whole study was exalted in a standing ovation». The conclusion? «In these people I saw the horror of Nazism and of inhumanity produced, this time not by ideology, but by ignorance and superficiality of thought. At least, the old religion (with all its flaws) postulated the elementary difference between the human being, guardian of the soul, and the animal and vegetable kingdom which, while deserving of respect, must be subordinated to and at the service of man. . Today, unfortunately, the difficulty of thinking makes it normal to shoot immigrants' boats, but not mad and murderous dogs ».
