"Mr President, you who pay great attention to my explanations of vote know that I have a guinea pig at home, who is also affected by this regulation. I tried to ask him what he thought of the regulation. He moves very quickly – which is why he is called ‘Schumi’, after Schumacher – but he did not reply. However, I decided that he must support this directive because he told me that he wanted to come with me too to provide a little domesticity – being, of course, a domestic animal – at the European Parliament. He is, I have to say, somewhat concerned because, should he have children, the baby guinea pigs would not be able to come with him, but he concluded: "I cannot expect the European Parliament to take care of everything!"
My only concern in voting for the motion is the following: I hope that, in the future, what happens in the film ‘Planet of the Apes’, when the apes do to us humans what we do now to our pets, will not come to pass in everyday life. Would it not be better to abide by the precautionary principle and just treat animals a little better, without all these injections and electronic chips?"@en1
