Before I attack the animal advocates, I should make clear that I share the widespread feeling that the player kicked Pereira Luis Moreno gave him the owl in the State Metropolitano de Barranquilla, which ended in his death , was a deplorable act. But more deplorable than that, I think, is the subversion of the values \u200b\u200bthat this country suffers, which was evident with this fact.
The turning on all the news owl, the owl under the camera, struggling between life and death, the owl shown over and over again flying over Junior's house. The banners in the Plaza de Bolivar Bogotá, demanding the expulsion of the executioner. Taxi drivers angry, declaration of persona non grata for Pereira, his player and even a request for expulsion of Colombian soccer as ruthless murderer. Social networking burst of indignation.
But that same day, only a couple of hours later, Santa Fe fans stabbed Carlos Eduardo Pulido, 17, for wearing a cap and a T-Millonarios. He died. A family is shattered. And nobody cared. There was no banner. Nobody protested. Social networks do not comment and the news was lost among the others. No was just one of many fans killed Sunday in a while.
So twisted is because the logic of our values, a whole country is outraged by the death of an owl, but cares not a whit the stabbing death of a child?
A little over a year the junior player Javier Flórez killed a fan who rebuked him for the loss of his team. With four bullets, the player, now on parole, silenced the insults of angry fan. And it also comes to mind El Tigre Castillo, who hit and killed two sisters, totally drunk, and now plays for Independiente of Avellaneda, Argentina.
I do not remember any banner or any national repudiation, or that have been declared persona non grata at any of the attackers. Not even a request for expulsion from the club.
That is the inversion of values \u200b\u200bthat a society sick, for which the death of his other turned landscape.
