The death of a cat
after
a pit bull
attack
can become the
political scandal
prior to the PASO primary elections in the paradisiacal town of Puerto Pirámides, the place in the world of the Southern Right Whale.
At least
there is already a police report
and intervention by the prosecution of that town of Chubut. The
attacking dog
belongs to the
councilor
of the Frente de Todos Ana Fernández and the
cat that died
after the attack was the property of Sandra Burgueño, deputy councilor of Juntos por el Cambio, the political party of the current mayor Marcelo Gandón.
The truth is that the situation in the town of Península Valdés
confronted the two councilors
.
Because there are cross accusations.
One accuses the other that her dog killed the cat.
But
the other denies it
and launches other accusations that make the situation even more difficult.
What is known is that the pit bull - a breed considered dangerous - has already had
problems with other
neighbors'
pets
.
The unprecedented situation, subsequent discussion and final complaint between the two councilors took place in the "14 Viviendas" neighborhood of one of the smallest, most peaceful and beautiful seaside towns on the Chubut coast.

The one making the complaint is Burgueño, who
is also a municipal employee
in the small local quartermaster.
As Fernández was denounced, she is a strong opponent in a small city that, because it is located in a World Heritage territory, has
restrictions for its urban expansion
.
The crack like cats and dogs
According to the complaint made by Burgueño, Fernández's dog,
a pit bull they call “Buby”
, attacked his cat and
killed him in
front of his own home.
Fernández, on the other hand, declared to the police that his dog did not commit the attack, that he
did not see the dead cat
and that Burgueño
frightened his mother and daughter
, who were in the house when the woman came to complain loudly and with
knocks on a gate
because of what his cat had suffered.

Everything caused a scandal in the small town, the only town on the peninsula.
Councilor Fernández
admitted
that her dog had already caused another attack but assured that she
took care of all the expenses
caused by "Buby."
In addition, he requested a
prohibition of approaching
his neighbor and assured that he has
footage of the intimidation
that Burgueño would have caused to his relatives.
An incredible situation in a place that is currently visited by a large number of
tourists
since
the
right
whale season
is in full swing.
Pirámides has
just 600 inhabitants
and is located 80 kilometers from Puerto Madryn, in Chubut.
Justice is
studying
the case but until the news was released, it had not decided on any relevant diligence.
Meanwhile, "Buby" was locked in the courtyard of Councilwoman Fernández's house to keep him away from any other incident.
It is speculated that the case
will inevitably lead to the Deliberative Council
and a political dispute just before the primaries and shortly after the midterm elections.
The name of the victim cat is
not transpired.
