Animal Rights in Chile



Does Chile have a politic about the animal rights? I think that Chile doesn’t. First of all we have to know that the environment care is a topic relatively recent in our country, even today that’s not a very clear topic. It’s not necessary to be an expert to know this, it’s enough to see the newspaper or news television, an emblematic event was the contamination of the Cruces River in the Region of the Rivers in Valdivia, the enterprise behind this sad and horrible event was the Celulosa Arauco: because of the industrial waste they left in the river the famous natural sanctuary, with the beautiful black neck swans, was doom.

Many people in Valdivia talked about events of many swans falling down dead on the roof of their houses, many of the swans dead, and the survivals emigrated to another locations, the Natural Sanctuary of the Cruces River will never be the same. However, the most shameful thing of this event was the inefficient actions of the authority, the Provincial Government, the Intendant, all the sectors of the government and the authority turn a blind eye to this disaster, even they dared to question the results of the investigation of the University Austral in Valdivia, all this to protect the interest of the industry of Celulosa Arauco, all in front of the impotents eyes of the media and people.

Remembering this terrible event I must say that I know that some condition that make easier to the industries, national and international, to put in a country like ours from the third world are the low labors, and the absence of the regulation in environment topics. So, we could say that parts of our progress and prosperity hope are put in the industrialization of our country, but, which is the cost of this progress? Do we agree to sacrifice the natural patrimony of all the Chileans for to live a little better, ignoring that the nature is the base of our civilization? What will still for to our children?
