Cow smeared at Inter party, Oipa intervenes
Among the streets of center of Milan during the celebration for the Nerazzurri’s Scudetto a cow daubed with Inter colors also parades, complete with the name “Lautaro”. A celebration documented by some videos that have appeared online in the last few hours and which has pushed theOipa to issue an official note to “formally ask the police” identification of the conductor and “whether they were inflicted sanctions for this disfigurement […] who saw the animal […] led in a procession full of people, screams, smoke, noises, fireworks”.
The precedent of Naples
The Organization’s statement continues by underlining how the parade of the smeared cow up Viale della Liberazione, in front of the Inter headquarters, is to be considered “a sad episode which can configure an rconvicted for incompatible detention or at least a form of mistreatment and, also from an administrative point of view, it is a punishable case.”
Oipa then recalls the previous most recent occurred just a year in Naples, again on the occasion of the championship success: “Like the donkey ‘dressed’ in the colors of Napoli paraded last year on the occasion of the Neapolitan team’s championship, this is an abuse towards poor animals reduced to a banner, mortified and humiliated“.
Oipa ready to report
In the sights of Oipa, as underlined by the president, Massimo Comparottothe municipality also ends: “We would have expected from a city like Milan a preventive and rigid control to prevent such conduct. How did they get a cow into town? What did the police do to prevent it?”, asks the number one of the Organization.
Oipa said, thus, ready to file a complaint to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Milan, at the same time asking “the Guarantors for animal rights of the Milanese municipality to proceed with the appropriate checks”. After the Dumfries case with the ugly banner against the AC Milan player Theo Hernandez waved from the bus, the controversy over the Nerazzurri party doesn’t seem over yet.
LAV also intervenes
Also ready to intervene LAV (Anti Vivisection League) who announced through social media that he did not want to ignore the episode. “It happened last year in Naples, it happened this year in Milan! Yesterday, during the celebrations for Inter’s Scudetto a cow was paraded through the streets of the city, amidst an enormous crowd and very loud noises, completely painted with potentially toxic paints. We are evaluating the filing of a complaint with veterinarians and the Carabinieri and we hope that football clubs and institutions condemn these gestures”, reads the post.
