Federfauna on the "madness" of animal rights activists who want to "extinguish the circus animals and destroy the agri-food sector".
While they shouted "shame, coward, fool" to Sen. Giovanardi who instead tried to dialogue, the animal rights activists who protested in front of the circus in Imola on Friday, explained their real objectives: "to bring the circus animals to extinction and destroy everything the agri-food sector, from Parma Ham to Parmigiano Reggiano ”.
They did not use the many turns of words on animal welfare and rights that their institutional representatives normally use and which can mislead people in good faith, but direct words that are worth disclosing.
THEY ARE ORGANIZED GROUPS: this was admitted by some of the participants in the event (it is not known whether authorized or not) which was held on Friday in Imola, during the press conference organized by the ENC. There are groups (of a few people) in all the provinces of Emilia Romagna and in various Italian locations that keep in touch especially through the internet and social networks and are ready to converge if necessary in a given place to protest.
The same people had been a short time before to demonstrate against the zoo in Ravenna and that same evening they would have gone to demonstrate in Forli 'where the circus animals hunted from Imola were housed. In this way, on each occasion they seem to be much more numerous. It remains to understand what these people live on and who pays them for travel, banners, flags, flyers, etc.
THEY USE COERCITIVE METHODS, especially towards decision makers and the media. "By hook or by crook we want to force all administrations to issue ordinances against the circus," said a dark-haired boy. There are many methods for forcing someone to do or not to do something: from demonstrations to mailbombing (also organized), to threats or intimidations conveyed first through the internet, to easy recourse to complaints and complaints and finally through concrete actions as does the Animal Liberation Front. The voice of Sen. Carlo Giovanardi, who had repeatedly tried to engage in a peaceful confrontation with the demonstrators, was covered by shouts, slogans and insults.
THEY WANT TO DESTROY AGRI-FOOD and the entire production sector linked to animals. When Giovanardi spoke of the cultural as well as economic and employment value of animal productions, bringing the examples of Parma Ham and Parmigiano Reggiano, a blonde girl leapt ahead of her screaming companions, and proudly displayed a tattoo " vegan ”he said:“ Parma Ham and everything else should also be destroyed! Our goal is that all animal-related captivity no longer exists! ”.
THEY WANT THE EXTINCTION OF ANIMALS: they prefer that they do not exist rather than that Man can benefit from them. When a journalist, perhaps struck by the unquestionable arguments of the conference, addressing the demonstrators said: "but perhaps the animals in circuses are not so bad: after all they are their workmates", a brunette girl with bobbed hair replied: "It is wrong that they are in cages and therefore they should be sterilized and prevented from reproducing and being born, until the last one is dead and the circus animals are extinct."
A DANGER FOR MAN AND ANIMALS for which FederFauna has long raised the alarm (perhaps for this reason it has already been defined by certain animal rights activists as "the most bitter of powers contrary to us"), but to which, unfortunately, still many find it hard to believe. Yet the alarm was also raised by the well-known philosopher Fernando Savater, who had observed that if this animalism became dominant, paradoxically, "the perfect form of animal protection would be achieved: extinction".
