After receiving different messages highlighting her “mistake” and accusing her of having double talk, Georgina Barbarossa He decided to speak through his social networks and explain what happened. It all happened last Thursday when the host, known for defending the care and rights of animals, read an advertisement live Sea World in A la Barbarossa (Telefe).
After the indignation of many followers, and the message from some animal protection organizations, Barbarossa published a video on his Instagram account: “I want to make a clarification because I was really wrong. Last Thursday I was doing the live program, obviously, and they brought me a lot of advertisements, the PNT (non-traditional advertising). They bring them to me with cardboard that I read. I always read them before the live show, but that day the commercial guy didn’t come and the production company started putting up the posters for me and I read an advertisement for Mundo Marino.”
Then, the actress recounted the moment she realized the mistake she had made: “When I finish reading it I realize that I didn’t have to do that advertising because ideologically I don’t agree at allbecause I am a protectionist and always I am in favor of the care and freedom of animals”. Along with the video, the television figure wrote: “Sorry. Here are my apologies and my explanation of what happened. I am not in favor of Mundo Marino or anything. animal abuse”.
Thus, the host explained that she spoke with the channel’s authorities to not read that advertisement again: “As a result of this, I commented on the channel that I am not going to do that Mundo Marino advertisement anymore, but I had already made a mistake.” , he had screwed up. The people from Proyecto Galgo, where I am also in favor of the liberation of greyhounds, wrote to me so that you could adopt one. I also made thousands of videos, even in 1998 when a Greenpeace ship came so we could take care of the whales. “I went with Vasco, with my husband.”
Finally, while her dogs were barking in the background, Georgina reflected: “I apologize because otherwise my speech is ambiguous and I try to be the most coherent person possible. Sorry, I was wrong, I read it. I should have read it before, but that was not my mistake. In the whirlwind of a live program one reads things and sometimes says things and exudes snot, like this case, for example. I apologize, I am not in favor of Mundo Marino, I am not in favor of the horror they do with animals, so I wanted to make this clear. Thank you so much”.
In November 2023, the proposed #KshamenkLaw reached Congress. It was presented in the Lower House with a large group of people and a box containing more than 690 thousand signatures so that the request becomes a national standard. “Keeping an animal captive is ethically unacceptable,” said Judge Elena Liberatori, who is a party to the claim.
The proposal, which seeks to turn into law the prohibition of shows with wild marine animals in Argentina, receives its name from the orca Kshamenk, a male that lives confined in the pools of the San Clemente del Tuyú aquarium. It is one of the two largest oceanariums in the country and considered tourist attractions on the Atlantic Coast. For this reason, and protected by what has been happening for a few years with terrestrial animals in zoos, a group made up of animal law experts, protectionists and legislators presented the bill.
