Once he died like a dog. Barbarous times, say animal rights. For dogs and more generally for all animals There was no respect. The first instinctive movement was to kill them when they were not useful to man. In more recent times, many animals have been used for research and experiments, dogs, vivisection, even for cosmetics and perfumes. What to consider, is the most selfish human life from animal products to take delight. He would not say exactly when the Lord God gave man dominion over every living thing.
and go for the snakes and rats, because one slimy, disgusting because the other, both irritant. But for the lizards? As children catch by fibrous herb, so those mpicasarvìche (hangs lizards), with which we were of the loops, then hang up and we practice in target shooting with bow and arrows, we get from broken umbrellas. Turkish skewers cicadas techniques to see how a rocket from the last flight and go hit the first hurdle and die. Catch the birds with the most varied and most cruel. Most of our joy was mother to take cu all curciùli (plaice with all the sparrows). Games naughty boys, they say.
And the adults? Even today, capture and kill animals for their skins. Even today, studying techniques to fight poisons and certain insects, harmful and annoying, even though animals are. The latest idea is racket power to intercept the "poor" mosquitoes, a counterpart of the electric chair for men. Is in addition to mass killings, the genocide of poison gases, pesticides. Stuff that rivals the malice of Hitler and Saddam Hussein. Who knows what today would not find an antidote for the red snout that is destroying the trees and our urban landscapes! And 'bad at it and above all dangerous, all right, but it is an insect, like a pet.
Irony aside, we are not yet entered the stage of full respect for all living things. Maybe it'll get there. For now, we are at a more sensitive selection than yesterday. Man keeps the instinct primordial to attack and kill the animals for fear of being attacked in turn, but also for fun and games. Instinct that still drives him to eliminate all those animals that are not only not helpful, but I am importunate, more often than insects, flies and ants.
We live, however, reversed. Dogs and cats, even when they have no immediate utility, are becoming more family members. Dogs especially, because cats are more independent and impatient. The dogs are treated like children, with their clothes, the caps, raincoats, the furs. Dead, cloned and even the legacy left to them at will. They are like a status symbol of culture, welfare, but also - let us say - of the occupation of indirect contempt for men. I do not say: I do not love men, even hate them, but giving a dog all the affection and even the legacy, I make a very precise message: I prefer animals to people. That says it all. There are older women who have no other airline that your dog, while the children are increasingly indifferent and distant. There are young people who rejoice when it is finally the man abusing a dog.
Now there is a law in Italy that involves a dog who has the obligation to render assistance, neither more nor less than if it were a person. A born of the many laws on the north of Europe and extended to its southern end, where very often does not lend itself to people and even help to rescue animals is not even the shadow of a structure. The consequence is that there are hordes of stray dogs around. The cases of dogs that devour children and old women have multiplied. The squares and streets of our countries are full of every race and size. Now interact with people and things urban. To the tolling of bells rise up to heaven and meet the head howling like werewolves at the moon, are often the lead or to accompany funeral processions. They defend their territory from other dogs, in ferocious battles at times, nothing way inferior to those of epic heroes of Lepanto Poitier or Christians.
A bit 'like it and a little' unwillingly today we have a different relationship with animals. Everyone involved has a different sensitivity. Today, no one would dream of attacking a can to the tail of a dog to see him twirl like a top in search of free biting its tail. Today the animals have their human institutions to defend them. They spoke in favor of foxes hunted in England, of horses started in the Palio di Siena, Matadi bulls in bullfights in Spain, the whales caught in the seas of Japan, the horses whipped in blood in the village fairs in shooting competitions. Not tolerate more than they hurt to an animal for any reason or even for no reason. E 'sign of civilization, no doubt.
The danger, however, to create a relationship with the animals on wrong foundation, most of the time on arrangements and compromises on the one hand a law, designed in a certain socio-economic reality that no other allows the application. Here there are people who bring the dog out for him to do his business, then left there in total negligence of law and basic hygiene opportunities. Dangerous dogs are left unattended, attacking passersby, or dogs that can be hit and killed by a car of passage.
recently in Milan a poor taxi driver was killed for having invested a small dog. In the three were beaten and reduced to the point of death, then indeed he is dead. He is not dead like a dog, a dog died. It 's the sign of the times. In the episode there is the whole condition of humanity, which, while it is enriched to an impoverished for another. If a dog's life is worth more than that of a man, it means that man is in serious confusion and disorder, is running out dangerously below a dog.
