Social media users have been digging up old clips and conversations from the Mexican entertainment show "Ventaneando," featuring host Pedro Sola, in response to his recent controversial statements that have been interpreted as inciting animal mistreatment. The resurfaced content highlights a pattern of problematic remarks concerning animals.
One widely shared exchange involves Sola and the late Daniel Bisogno discussing noisy dogs. Bisogno mentioned his dog doesn't bark, to which Sola responded, "Mรกndales a cortar las cuerdas vocales" (Send them to get their vocal cords cut). Another incident recalled by the founder of the Milagros Caninos sanctuary involved Sola's negative reaction to the presence of a rescue dog named Pay de Limรณn, who had suffered abuse, during a visit to the "Ventaneando" set. The sanctuary founder recounted Sola exclaiming, "No, no, no, quรญtenme ese perro de aquรญ" (No, no, no, get that dog away from here).
These past comments have drawn further scrutiny following Sola's recent remarks, which have led to apologies and condemnation from various public figures, including Apio Quijano and Lupita Jones. The controversy has also sparked discussions about the show's history and its hosts' past statements regarding animals, prompting a broader conversation about animal welfare and public figures' responsibilities.
No, no, no, quรญtenme ese perro de aquรญ.
