animal protection work in a well-known lady Jenni Haukio last Friday, the animal protection gala 2019, in connection with the recognition of “Animals thank you” award.

thank you in his speech, the president of Sauli Niinistö the spouse managed two sentences stirred up a number of parties out of anger. Meat producers and agricultural producers associations MTK mind was, social media was on fire.

editorial editor you thought were brave the opening (the evening paper) (you move to another service) or to the forgotten people of animal protection to the feet (Evening-Say) (you move to another service)?

Born a bit of a blizzard. Haukio from were required to focus your comments on social media and reporters asked about the speech purpose. It also produces a long answer to a letter tuohtunein for “rural people”, who had published the sent a letter Facbookissa. The letter was signed by twelve thousand people.

This Haukio say thank you in a speech Friday. Quotes are ilta-sanomat page (switch to another service). The president of the republic according to the office, the speech was directed to the animal protection gala audience, and it is not in writing.

Finland die every year more than 70 million production animals. Each of them had wanted to live. Ultimately these animals the fate of it, in what circumstances these individuals unique life spend – the crucial consumers, so each one of us.

– If the consumption, depletion, exhaustion inevitably also supply sooner or later. What more to use its influence in the animal fairer treatment for, the higher the probability of achieving the absence of material progress – hopefully still in our lifetime.

Starting snort on social media. Haukio was considered to be either brave animal advocate or broadly to understand that the purpose is to stop the slaughter and affect the demand reduction, which would end no later than the production of meat.

agricultural producers were quite upset

on Sunday night, the MTK action director of Antti Sahi comment on the speech of Rural areas in the future (you move to another service) this way:

– Unfortunately, many times we forget how much good work in Finland has already been done over the years and how much things have moved forward.

– All new investments in the livestock economy will also mean improvements in animal welfare at a practical level. In most cases, they raise the chances of take care of animal health and well-being to a whole new level.

Sahi hoped that the work would be noticed and recognised.

the Evening-said to (you move to another service) he said:

It, that eating meat would end completely, it is probably unrealistic idea in the world.

the Situation calls for focus

on Sunday, during a debate on the issues around was already so much brisk that Evening Say ask haukio from the focus, what thank the words really meant.

the president of the Republic office sent the same focus also to Yle:

– Consumers can buy their choices affect it, in what conditions of production animals are bred and how they are treated. I know that the producer board is to act in the same direction, taking animal welfare needs still more comprehensively into account.

I’m in many different occasions spoken Finnish food production and local food as well as the Finnish rural vitality on behalf of. The debate on animal welfare should be able to engage constructively to different opinions with respect, without confrontation of the animal and legal industries engaged between producers.

so Haukio. But the confrontation had already occurred.

a Public letter tölvi also Lennua

on Monday morning over a thousand people signed the letter was sent via email to the president Niinistö and mrs. haukio for. The letter was published on facebook in (switch to another service) milk production Johanna Niskanen page.

in the Letter, frowned Haukio speech and tölväistään also the kingdom first dog Lennua.

Yes, we signed the rural people also wonder, how is it possible that the animal lovers of the halo is polished by talking about livestock production to stop, but then on the other hand, leave almost ignored the unethical pet-keeping, the letter states.

Then the letter refers to the sly Lennu-dog:

Among the different breeds of dog breeding will cause problems, which we hope to have more discussion. Brakykefaalisten the racial problem are many such diseases, for example, a short muzzle due to airway malformations and the resulting difficulty in breathing and thermoregulation problems.

“the interpretation is deliberately wrong”

Haukio replied in a long letter at length and the focus even further:

– Unlike in your letter you presented, I don’t have any contact with the “talking livestock production stop”. Thank you for the words in my I’m also not talking Finnish food production or food producers for; I didn’t mention any producer groups, animal groups, or manufacturing, but I talked to the animal origin of the commodity production on a larger scale. Animals not only produce food but also for countless other purposes. I very much regret the way in which my speech has on different occasions been distorted and interpreted intentionally wrong.

– I agree with you, in your letter, your proposed pet processing and hold many problems. I have on many occasions taken a position on also the pet animal welfare and better treatment for Haukio will answer the letter Lennu-section.
