Dear Friends:
back to blog again, as for work was a bit missing.
few weeks ago the local TV channels and Gamavisión TC Television (Ecuador) are transmitted a program intended for times of the football world called "The Night of the World Cup." The
particular issue arises when one day decided to integrate the cast as a "guinea pig", a small animal like a hamster but larger, well known in our food source in a mountainous region.
The issue becomes tricky when the "guinea pig" who called "Gabinito" is used for a series of events and humorous sense of bitter mockery: The alredededor placed a series of traps for mice to see if it falls somewhere, etc. .
This has caused discontent among a section of the population that cares about animals, for his constant manipulation evidence a state of nervousness in the animal, it suffices to look at him to see his expression is not happy in that environment.
The popular local TV host Marian Sabate few days ago would have been criticized for participating in this program by submitting the guinea pig for this situation, people in a mall in the city he would have expressed their total rejection.
When I commented on this issue, I remembered what happened a few months ago in Chile, in the "Street 7" TVN, where he had established a segment called "Bugs education, participants hung from a rope and debian harness answer questions of general knowledge to do it incorrectly, were pulled by a rope until a species pool where there were different animals, snakes, mice, etc.
Friends "Press Animalist" Chilean organization concerned about animal welfare, on their website, facebook started a campaign to request that the program managers and creative withdraw or change the segment, so that animals are not included because, as we all know, the lights, loud noises, crowds of people would cause much stress and disease.
Happily, CHILE TVN channel managers took into account this suggestion and changed the format of that segment, in Ecuador, the issue has been the subject of derision by the cast that is part of that program tv.
As we understand that two similar situations are dealt with differently in Chile and Ecuador? Ironically
one part is considered as a serious, responsible and respect the situation in Chile, while in Ecuador is the object of mockery, might it be that the vision of these creative considered offensive to the public the use of animals in tv and in other cases, simply become a source of criticism and insult to those who are against.
The involvement of a "guinea pig" in a television program does not provide or improve program quality, in contrast, generated discontent among the population that is not freely expressing satisfaction with this event.
personally do not agree with the need to use the device to present an animal on TV that really does not fulfill any role, in contrast, is subjected to a state of stress caused by a trade simply alien to an end or education preservationists population.
And you are saying?
