"Mr President, I would like to congratulate Mrs Roth-Behrendt on her important work, which I support and admire, which seeks to prevent the use of cosmetics and perfumes leading to animal experimentation. Like Mrs Roth-Behrendt, I love animals, and proof of this is the fact that I have two dogs, three cats and a guinea pig at home.
Now then, at home yesterday afternoon, caught up in this measure on which I was due to speak today, I asked my wife, Graziella Fatuzzo (née Spallina), to show me the creams she uses. When I had read the label, I said to her, ‘Look, this cream even contains placenta material’, but she replied, ‘Really? You are right! How horrible!’ and continued to apply cream to her face.
That night, we went to bed, as usual, and I turned towards her with amorous intentions. However, she was wearing night cream which smelt horrible. I said to her: ‘But do you know that these creams are tested on animals?’ ‘You are right, Carlo,’ she replied, ‘you are right’, but she did not remove the cream from her face and I could not sleep for the rest of the night. However, later on, while I was asleep, I dreamt of Mrs Roth-Behrendt. In my dream, she was my daughter's mother-in-law and we were having dinner together. There were mushrooms for dinner, and so I asked her whether she was sure they were not poisonous. ‘No, no, they are fine’ she said, so I suggested that we try them out on the cat. ‘No!’ she shrieked, ‘not on my pussy cat, not on animals!’ After eating the mushrooms – this is still the dream – Mrs Roth-Behrendt was overtaken by dreadful spasms and taken to hospital, where she was saved by a stomach pump. Afterwards, she said to me, in some pain: ‘Tomorrow, you must vote against my report. You must call for products to be tested on animals before they are used in cosmetics, because, in actual fact, I do not want this dream to become reality.’"@en1
