Controversy on television reaches court
The statements of the host Pedro Sola about dogs in pet-friendly spaces have crossed the screen. The association Va por sus Derechos filed a formal complaint with the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic (FGR).
As reported on social networks, on July 10 they filed the appeal against Sola and against those responsible for supporting his statements. The accusations are for apology for animal abuse and public incitement to commit a crime.
“We cannot allow violence that continues to claim lives from a space of national reach to be normalized,” the organization wrote on Instagram.
The origin of the scandal
On July 6, during the broadcast of Ventaneando, Sola criticized those who bring pets to public places. He even suggested that it was preferable to poison them. Hours later he offered a public apology, but the damage had already been done.
As a result of this, a petition is circulating on Change.org demanding the dismissal of Pedro Sola and Pati Chapoy, in addition to the cancellation of the program. Signature collection is still active.
The complainant association emphasized that these expressions cannot be ignored. “Animal abuse is not a joke, it is not entertainment and it will never be acceptable,” he stated.
The case is now in the hands of the FGR, while the animal defense community awaits a resolution.
