Piazza Armerina, 26/10/2009
Through the favorite pages of the blog of Augustine Sella, the owner of the Cobas piazzese Bascetta Luigi (pictured) has been let go one of his delirious proclamations, this time against stray dogs responsible, he said, have turned our streets or country lanes trazzere from the far west. In his ungrammatical statement announcing that the union will collect signatures to request the intervention of the army to guard the urban and rural areas affected by the phenomenon, with the concomitant ability of police to remove these animals selvatici.
Ancora una volta l’analisi compiuta dal rivoluzionario Bascetta risulta contorta e fuori dalla logica. Si imputano ai cani responsabilità che sono proprie degli uomini e si prospettano soluzioni bestiali che umiliano il senso civile ed istigano alla violenza. Mentre in Città le associazioni animaliste si prodigano per portare avanti un serio progetto di rieducazione ambientale e civica, attraverso una sensibilizzazione del fenomeno del randagismo, Bascetta interviene a gamba tesa sconvolgendo il dovere civico dei cittadini e dirottando il discorso invece sul facile piano del populismo e della demagogia. Bascetta, che dimentica troppo spesso di essere un agente di polizia, sconosce la legge in vigore che tutela gli animali ed ignora che uccidere a dog is a crime punishable in all respects with the arrest. Instead instigates the crime even proposing the establishment of a police state which is waging a real war against the armed strays.
Bascetta then speaks of decency of our city, charging the dogs responsible for spoiling the decorum of our roads. Good thing he had forgotten when he and his cronies deserve to disfigure and deface the dignity of our city, and has forgotten when those camps organized in the streets, those crucifixions in the streets, those fanatical processions with the buggy screaming at any time of day, that bivouac outside the headquarters of the town of General Muscarà away. Even dogs fiercest, wildest, most dangerous and violent could never set up a mess of those proportions. Yet to counter that phenomenon was not called any army, were not required and does not popular protests instigated by Nazi reprisal no memory. Certainly
Bascetta ignores the maxim of Galileo Galilei that man can not be called truly civilized until they have learned to treat with equal dignity of animals. In his rambling speech Bascetta go so far as to confuse the worship of sacred cows in India with the Muslim faith, to demonstrate how the ideas are unclear. The allegations serious, dangerous and disconcerting to Bascetta could not pass unnoticed by the animals that replicate dryly, "should be ashamed to own Bascetta - says Gianluca Messina, secretary of a Armerina - We can not tolerate that you use certain alarmist and that draws a distorted picture the phenomenon of stray dogs. Request the intervention of the army to carry out the killing of "those wild animals" is an unprecedented severity, could be a real provocation to commit a crime and that is why our association is considering the possibility of denunciation to the judicial authorities Bascetta . The phenomenon of stray dogs needs to be tackled serious and scientific, no proclamations, without delusions and without launching misguided alarmist messages. I can understand that Bascetta is a hard man, without feelings of travel and love for animals - Gianluca Messina continues - but I am sure that if you look at the eyes of a dog would be able to read real and sincere feelings, too often absent in the eyes of men. Bascetta must understand that the solution of the problem of strays is not the massacre and extermination, but of prevention and awareness raising. A stray dog \u200b\u200bbecomes a choice, but is forced into the role of hard man from the cruelty and ignorance. Before starting campaigns and counter-productive and harmful if it is really concerned to seriously address the problem of stray dogs, Bascetta advice to deal with animal welfare organizations. If it is only interested in making frothy propaganda and inconclusive and dangerous demagogy, also continues with its lonely, isolated battles. "
