Montos que se suman a los millones de pesos de las regal\u00edas de sus libros que han mantenido a flote la Asociaci\u00f3n Protectora de Animales de Medell\u00edn.<\/p>\n<p>Muchos no soportan que quienes salgan premiados sean los perros. En una espl\u00e9ndida entrevista de El Espectador, Nelson Padilla le transmite la inquietud al escritor:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Maestro, \u00bfno le parece demasiado dinero para los perros, habiendo tanta gente necesitada?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Esa es una cretinada \u2014responde \u2014. \u00bfUsted cu\u00e1ntos ni\u00f1os ha recogido y cu\u00e1nto de su sueldo les da a los pobres?<\/p>\n<p>La \u00e1spera r\u00e9plica es de una l\u00f3gica incontestable. En un pa\u00eds donde las donaciones son una rareza, \u00bfcon qu\u00e9 autoridad se cuestiona a quien se desprende de lo que podr\u00eda malgastar en lujos personales? Cuando m\u00e1s de 300 canes indigentes son asesinados semanalmente en la perrera de Bogot\u00e1, y el maltrato de toros y gallos son fiestas nacionales, \u00bfcon qu\u00e9 cara se recrimina a quienes hacen algo al respecto con su propia plata? El error de los cr\u00edticos de Vallejo es pensar que la solidaridad es indivisible: quien sea solidario con los animales, no podr\u00eda serlo con los humanos; quien apoye causas altruistas en otros pa\u00edses, estar\u00eda castigando a sus compatriotas. Cuando lo de la donaci\u00f3n del Premio R\u00f3mulo Gallegos a la organizaci\u00f3n venezolana, D\u2019Artagnan public\u00f3 una desafinada diatriba que ilustra lo absurdo de esta posici\u00f3n. \u201cNi siquiera fueron los perros colombianos \u2014\u00a1nuestros perros!\u2014 los beneficiados con esta platica, sino los perros de Ch\u00e1vez\u201d, escribi\u00f3 el fallecido periodista. Claro, ni los cr\u00edticos de entonces ni los de ahora habr\u00edan dicho nada si el novelista se hubiera guardado el premio. Eso s\u00ed les habr\u00eda parecido coherente.<\/p>\n<p>Pero Vallejo cae en la misma inconsistencia que sus cr\u00edticos. \u201cLos humanos que se jodan, a m\u00ed los que me duelen son los animales\u201d, le respondi\u00f3 a D\u2019Artagnan. Su solidaridad tambi\u00e9n es excluyente. Su altruismo hacia los animales es tan profundo como su desprecio hacia los que pertenecemos a \u201cesta especie del Homo sapiens excretora, mentirosa y mala\u2026 y perecedera y vanidosa y protag\u00f3nica y tartufa\u201d, como escribi\u00f3 alguna vez en SoHo.<\/p>\n<p>Las dos caras de Vallejo quedaron encapsuladas en el mensaje moral con el que cerr\u00f3 su discurso en Guadalajara. Mientras uno de sus \u201cmandamientos\u201d recomienda respetar a los animales que \u201ctienen un sistema nervioso complejo\u201d y por eso \u201cson tu pr\u00f3jimo\u201d, los otros son tan inhumanos como antidemocr\u00e1ticos: \u201cno te reproduzcas, que no tienes derecho\u201d y \u201cno votes\u2026 no te dejes enga\u00f1ar por los bribones de la democracia\u2026 Y si por la falta de tu voto, porque el d\u00eda de las elecciones no saliste a votar, un tirano se apodera de tu pa\u00eds, \u00a1m\u00e1talo!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>L\u00e1stima que su generosidad con otras especies vaya de la mano con su amargura hacia la propia; que su lucidez literaria sea tan grande como su ceguera sociol\u00f3gica. Pero prefiero esa solidaridad inconsecuente a la insolidaridad coherente de sus cr\u00edticos. A\u00fan mejor ser\u00eda la solidaridad con todos, que el novelista formul\u00f3 en un art\u00edculo que parece haber olvidado: \u201cdesde esta alt\u00edsima columna de moral de la revista SoHo que he levantado sobre viejas en pelota, propongo\u2026 que pasemos a ser el Homo mis\u00e9ricors, el hombre misericordioso. Misericordioso pero no s\u00f3lo con los otros hombres\u2026 sino tambi\u00e9n con los restantes animales puesto que en esencia son como nosotros\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The criticism to Fernando Vallejo for announcing on Saturday, in the acceptance speech of the award from the Guadalajara Book Fair, that he would donate the $150,000 of the award to two Mexican organizations that look after stray dogs just commenced. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-el-espectador-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
