#Palermo
Enrico Rizzi, an animal rights activist, and the public transport company Amat are in a ongoing battle over a request for a bus advertising campaign. Amat refused to display the images, considered too explicit, to raise awareness about the exploitation of animals, particularly horses. Rizzi is threatening legal action if the campaign is not published or compensation is not provided. The president of Amat stated the need for approval from the city council, as the sole shareholder of the company. Rizzi’s lawyer argues that the images are a faithful representation of the reality and that those responsible for the exploitation should be sanctioned, not censored. Animal rights activists will hold a demonstration in support of exploited horses on Saturday, August 26th.
