Campaign to Ban Cesar Milan's The Dog Whisperer From Italian TV
Campaign to ban Cesar Millan’s The Dog Whisperer from Italian TV
22 October 2009
Members of the APBC have provided information and resources to concerned pet behaviour counsellors in Italy following the broadcast of The Dog Whisperer featuring Cesar Millan on Italian TV.
The Italian pet behaviour counsellor Laura Borromeo contacted members of the APBC after just three episodes of the controversial show were aired. She is developing a campaign that aims to educate the public that there are alternatives to Cesar Millan’s methods.
The Italian ASETRA web site represents the Society for the Ethological Studies of the Relationship between Animals and Humans and it is denouncing Millan’s methods with dogs: http://www.asetra.it/?Comunicati_Asetra
The Italian veterinary web site ANMVI is warning vets and owners about how dangerous and abusive Millan's approach is towards dogs. They announce that they are taking steps to stop the show from being broadcast: http://www.anmvioggi.it/10262/12-10-09/la-veterinaria-disapprova-il...
There has also been coverage in the local Italian newspapers too where the headline message is equally clear; “Stop Millan - the veterinarians say he is educating people in the wrong way.”
Laura Borromeo is taking advice from lawyers so that a strategy can lead to the program being prevented from being broadcast.
Dog owners, dog trainers, pet behaviour counsellors and vets all have a choice in how pets are treated. The APBC believes in promoting the best in pet behaviour and it is clear from experience and research that some of the methods used by Cesar Millan can lead to an increase in dog aggression and behaviour problems. That’s why the APBC chooses to use better ways to train pets. There is a choice.

What happened to freedom Dani? More and more people are taking away rights and liberties from the people. Just because some people may not agree with something doesn't mean you should take it away from the people that do. JUST DON'T WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! I was mostly joking with you guys, but the truth is that Dani is turning it into her campaign. This is a consistent domination complex to America; We have to get involved in other peoples rights just to appease the immorality perceived by a couple. I asked Dani where to find the clip because I was interested in seeing what this campaign was about and my inquiry was met with disregard. The first step in any campaign is opposition and to get past opposition you have to show your perspective. If you want to campaign to take away a liberty from a country that you do not reside in then you need to be ready to face disagreements based on lack of information. Basically, I am not for or against your campaign, but I would like to see the episode that you are campaigning against and I would like to see a little more strength behind the opinion instead of "please stop shea" or "Nock it off"
"It your freedom to not read this post and just leave it be." It is also my freedom to question this campaign and it's integrity.

AND! Do not take this as a personal attack. This is merely opinion stating and discussing. I love you guys. I just wish that I could get some real answers.

I agree...our rights are already dwindling down to nothing.....Because people wanting to ban everything!!! I don not know what Mr.Milan did but if it is so bad than he should be charged with an abbuse crime.....If it is a matter of personal taste..than just change the chanel....but please stop with the law requests!!! That is censorship!!! If the people dont like what he did than campaign others to turn off the chanel.....If enough do that...than networks willl pull him do to low ratings!! The only thing I say no to at this point is censorship!!!

well, sorry but personally I am not a fan of Millan. I have noted and watched a good number of his shows, but i do not believe him to the " genuine authority on canines ". The gent still has a lot to learn.
