Día del Animal en Argentina: ¿Por qué se celebra hoy?

Compartí

Argentina se diferencia del resto del mundo al festejar el Día del Animal en otra fecha. El cambio es en homenaje a la labor ejemplar de un defensor de los animales en Argentina.

Todos los 29 de abril se festeja el Día del Animal en nuestro país. La fecha conmemora no solo a aquellos animales que nos acompañan domésticamente, sino al conjunto de especies que conforman nuestra fauna.

En Argentina se homenajea a los animales en una fecha diferente al resto del mundo. Es así porque en el país el día elegido conmemora la muerte de Ignacio Lucas Albarracín.

¿Quién fue?

Albarracín fue un pionero en la defensa de animales en Argentina. Nacido en Córdoba en 1850, se recibió como abogado y dedico su vida a velar por los derechos de nuestros amigos animales. Creía que aunque no tuviesen el nivel de raciocinio de los humanos, no por eso había que castigarlos o martirizarlos.

Empezó como secretario de la Sociedad Argentina Protectora de los Animales desde su inicio en 1879. Luego, en 1885 reemplazó a Domingo Faustino Sarmiento como Presidente de la misma.

Hace más de 100 años comenzó su lucha contra riñas de gallos, la doma de potros, corridas de toros y tiro a la paloma. Albarracín incluso impulsó la Ley Nacional de Protección de Animales -N° 2.786- que data de 1891. Sobre este trabajo se inspiró la base legal de la Liga Internacional de los Derechos del Animal y la ONU.

Una fecha para tomar conciencia

El objetivo de fiestas como estas no es solo festejar un día con nuestras mascotas: lo que se busca es la toma de conciencia. Millones de animales mueren por año a causa de los maltratos, de los castigos violentos, o por culpa de condiciones de vida lamentables.

Esto es lo que se intenta trabajar en el Día del Animal y es nuestra tarea para el hogar. Tal como opinaba Albarracín hace más de un siglo, los animales no merecen ser castigados ni martirizados. Nuestro deber y nuestro homenaje a este pionero es el de cuidar a los animales que vivan con nosotros: no castigarlos con violencia, alimentarlos como corresponde, llevarlos al veterinario con frecuencia y respetarlos como lo merecen.

Todos estos son cambios pequeños, pero implementados son de gran ayuda. Desde La Voz Puntana los invitamos a tomar conciencia sobre el tema y cuidar mejor de los animales que nos rodean.

  5. I really believe that a foreclosure can have a significant effect on the borrower’s life. Property foreclosures can have a 7 to several years negative affect on a borrower’s credit report. The borrower who have applied for a home loan or almost any loans for instance, knows that the actual worse credit rating is usually, the more tough it is to obtain a decent mortgage loan. In addition, it might affect a borrower’s power to find a good place to let or rent, if that gets to be the alternative property solution. Good blog post.

It is definitely significant given that by definitely not accomplishing so, all other methods that you will choose to use to improve your credit rank will not be effective.

A huge reduction in bad foods, sugary foodstuff, fried foods, sugary foods, pork, and whitened flour products might be necessary. Retaining wastes unwanted organisms, and poisons may prevent objectives for losing belly fat. While selected drugs momentarily solve the issue, the bad side effects are not worth it, and in addition they never offer more than a short lived solution. This is a known proven fact that 95 of diet plans fail. Many thanks sharing your ideas on this web site.
