What Mayor Ignacio Nagaya Vicente calls a symbol of identity and cultural roots is nothing more than promoting acts of violence and animal cruelty by carrying out the “Cockfight” this Friday morning.
In the presence of children, young people, the elderly, officials, and members of the council, they used sticks to violently kill the roosters, while they made a fight and the slaughter of the animals.
In its official statement, it calls violence community coexistence and recreational activities that generate moments of joy and laughter in children and young people; however, it is quite the opposite, as it only shows their disorder and the symptoms of mental disturbance that have an impact on social life.
According to the superb mayor Ignacio Nagaya, it is one of the most popular and representative activities prior to the start of the fair, which had ceased to be held, and today those roots are preserved.
While some organizations promote strengthening the legal framework on animal protection, Nacho Nagaya’s “Gallito Nalgón” promotes serious mistreatment and unnecessary suffering of birds.
The law is clear: “No practice involving the unnecessary mistreatment and suffering of animals can be considered a cultural expression protected by the Constitution.”
It is known that Ignacio Nagaya has led the violence in the municipality; animal cruelty is also an act that causes unjustified harm, suffering, and pain to a living being; it is a crime typified in various legislations.
It is important to inhibit this type of behavior in which violence is used; therefore, it is necessary for the organizations that protect these activities to turn to Villacorzo, because he who despises the life of an animal also despises human life.
