TikTok Profile Block
The widely followed profile, where Carmela and Luigi Febbraro showed their fishmonger business in Casoria, has been blacked out. The account boasted about 260 thousand followers and 10 million views. Febbraro himself explained the situation through a video on the new TikTok profile, claiming that what happened could have been caused by “annoyances” caused to someone, while specifying that the animals were never mistreated in their videos.
Visit of “Le Iene” and Intervention of the Police
On Tuesday, February 10, the fish market was visited by the television crew of “Le Iene”, as anticipated by Fanpage, together with activist Enrico Rizzi. The program wanted to verify the conditions of the animals on display in the fish market. According to Luigi Febbraro, the intervention of the carabinieri was requested by the owner himself due to the difficulties that the crew was creating in the regular performance of commercial activities.
Reactions and Consequences
Enrico Rizzi, an animal rights activist, expressed his satisfaction in a Facebook post, commenting that the TikTok profile was blocked for violating community rules regarding violence against animals. Rizzi reiterated his position of “zero tolerance” towards those who do not respect the life of living beings. The case seems destined to spark further developments in the coming days.
