Italy's "Chinatown" news: In Treviso, Italy, the government signed a very innovative animal protection law, which defines pets and working animals as independent creatures, no longer personal items, but does not mean that animals are equivalent to humans, but recognizes its social status and guarantees the protection it needs. This approach set a precedent for Italian animal protection law. In the future, there will be no more goldfish swimming in fish tanks, no more cats being abused for invading homes, no more dogs being banned from public places and offices, and no more horses being exploited by work to exhaustion.
The changes to the protection law will be reviewed and finally approved by the city council, and in addition to the technical staff of the municipal government, the urban environmental animal department, the health department, and the veterinary association are involved in the customization of the provisions of the law. Let's take a look at the specifics.
A relatively new point is about goldfish, Chinese believe in the old saying "water is not deep, fish is spiritual", feeding some goldfish at home can add a bit of elegance, not to mention, but also change feng shui. One of the new animal laws prohibits keeping fish in spherical tanks, which is considered abuse. Because the small fish tank will lead to poor oxidation of the water, and the spherical fish tank forces the fish to constantly rotate, visually distorting the external environment, which will bring a huge pressure to the fish living in the fish tank for a long time.
Secondly, the Animal Law also regulates the work and breeding of horses, and does not allow horses to work in bad weather conditions, such as severe cold, storms, scorching heat, etc. At the same time, pet dogs are also allowed to enter public places in the city, such as government offices, supermarkets, etc.
The enactment of these laws and regulations is gradually moving society to a higher level of human beings. After the success of the Treviso operation, it will affect the whole of Italy, and many businesses, or pet families, and even aquariums and horse farms may gradually change the way they treat pets. - CHINATOWN EDITOR CHICK DOUDOU
