"Deer eater" and also "sexist" for the "left-wing animal rights activists".
Roberto Vannacci returns to the controversy sparked by a post on August 15th , showing a freshly caught grouper from the Costa Rei sea, inviting followers to enjoy "the left's face in the next elections." He also brings up the fishmongers at the San Benedetto market.
"The Italian Association for the Defense of Animals and the Environment (protected by the left)," Vannacci wrote on social media, "announces the filing of a complaint with the Cagliari prosecutor's office 'requesting an investigation into the crime of animal cruelty pursuant to Article 544 of the Criminal Code.' Photographing or filming a fish caught and already dead from an embolism when it surfaces is, according to these fanatical defenders of creation, cruelty."
"Add to the complaint," he continues, "the complaint of being a 'grouper' because, in a very inhumane and disgusting way, I also ate that fish . And if you really want, add the aggravating circumstance of sexism because I ate 'a grouper' and not 'a grouper' . I wonder if the fishmongers at the San Benedetto market don't run the same risk ."
"This is me and the face of the left in the next elections," said the deputy secretary of the League in a video filmed in the water holding a grouper and posted on his social media pages.
In a statement, animal rights activists condemned the act: "The video shows clear disregard for animals, and in particular for that poor grouper, shamefully and improperly used for purposes that have nothing to do with nature. But above all, this serious and unacceptable act," Aidaa denounced, "highlights the risk of simulation, given that Vannacci is no ordinary person. For this reason, we demand his formal and public apology." The large fish, they say, was then eaten on the evening of Saturday, August 16th.
