“Dogs must be treated, followed, vaccinated. They should not be left in a kennel to enrich those who speculate on their skin. Better kill them then. The decision should be made that animals that are not adopted within a certain period of time should be killed, given that today we find ourselves in a situation in which there are Canturine families who do not have to eat ". These are the words that Angela Tremonti, minority municipal councilor in Cantù (in the province of Como) - and sister of the current finance minister - reported to the newspaper La Provincia, commenting on the request for information that she sent to the Como municipality, in which complained about the excessive costs for the management of the Mariano Comense consortium kennel, financed by 14 municipalities in the area.

“Dogs must be treated, followed, vaccinated. They should not be left in a kennel to enrich those who speculate on their skin. Better kill them then. The decision should be made that animals that are not adopted within a certain period of time should be killed, given that today we find ourselves in a situation in which there are Canturine families who do not have to eat ". These are the words that Angiola Tremonti, minority municipal councilor in Cantù (in the province of Como) - and sister of the current finance minister - told the La Provincia newspaper, commenting on the request for information that he sent to the Como Municipality, in which he complained of the excessive charges for the management of the kennel consortium of Mariano Comense, financed by 14 municipalities in the area.
In short, since it costs too much to keep dogs, it is better to kill them. Immediately - as was to be expected - the controversy against the unfortunate declaration was unleashed, much to the point force the councilor to retract his words: “Me, kill dogs? But I would never kill even a spider, which has equal dignity. Mine was a stance towards the municipal administration of Cantù which for three weeks had in hand a request from me relating to the budget, economic management, historicity and the existence of a municipal kennel ".
Then, contextualizing his idea, he added: "Everything comes from my requests for information and the dogs' speech is exactly in these terms - he said - I make rational reflections for which animals all have equal dignity, the ant as the elephant, chickens, rabbits. And since an animal has an owner it acquires the dignity of him. It may seem strange but the dignity of the animal is linked to the fact that there is someone who takes care of it. For example: rodent control kills a lot of mice and no one has anything to complain about. And the stray dogs? Someone will have to gain from keeping it. Stray animals create and change the balance of wild animals that we want to protect instead. So, let's try not to confuse the vision of animals that was designed by Walt Disney, let's try to put our feet on the ground and evaluate the situation. We need consistency - concluded the councilor - We cannot calmly kill chickens to eat and be scandalized by the strays to be killed that carry diseases. However, it is not my job to make decisions ”.
