A video showing two camels strolling through the streets of Fuorigrotta was brought to the attention of Green Left MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli. During the walk, the animals were led by two guides along the sidewalks, sparking amazement and laughter among those present.
The video, recorded by those present, was sent to Deputy Borrelli to raise concerns about the possible violation of the Municipal Regulation for the protection of animals.
Protest against circuses with animals in Fuorigrotta The video was taken a few meters from the Lidia Togni circus in viale Giochi del Mediterraneo, where recently the deputy Borrelli and the regional councilor Roberta Gaeta had participated in a protest against the use of animals in circus shows.
The protest aimed to raise public awareness of the importance of gradually abolishing animal circuses, in line with the 2021 legislation. Despite the support of the majority of the population, the approval of the implementing decrees to implement this legislation has encountered political obstacles.
Animal welfare concerns Borrelli expressed concerns about the welfare of the camels involved in the walk, highlighting the potential risks of trauma and dangers to the public safety of passers-by and motorists.
He also stressed that the Municipal Regulation for the protection of animals requires animal owners to take all necessary precautions to prevent the escape of animals and to ensure the safety of third parties.
In light of these points, Borrelli sent the video to the Municipal Police for an evaluation of the camel management and to verify whether the appropriate safety measures were adopted.
