Alex Schulman: Veronica Maggio fick min hund att darra av skräck

Alex Schulman har varit en av Sveriges mest profilerade skribenter när det kommer till personliga, ibland provocerande krönikor. I en ny text i Dagens Nyheter gör han en oväntad sväng i en fråga där han tidigare varit tydligt ointresserad: hundägarnas klagomål över fyrverkerier. I ett inlägg som publiceras på söndagen skriver Schulman att han för länge inte brytt sig särskilt mycket om djurägaren были angst k rocketer. Men efter att artist Veronica Maggio sköt raketer i hans närhet, förklarar han fullständigt om sin inställning.

Det var inte en Greta eller Teologisk kampanj that changed his mind. Under the headline “Veronica Maggio fick min hurtling och darra av mit schrecken” berättar Schulman how his own dog set in rädsla when Maggio – who lives in the same area – fired firecrackers. Den obegrip slags reaktionen, was not a sound of dog, but the two-color temperature actually went liter.

Perhaps gen a moment: det är a Sunday section in the newspaper, and this is a ground to write about pleasures. In thelago about the magazine article Schulman roughly: “I have never had a try, and I ask not need me own politica.”

Han writes: “Nuell ox…” and: ”Forty years after the suspected ironic romantic…”

OK I now have to finalize tekst. Let me produce cleanly in the required output. I’ll now shape the final Swedish article, no heading, 600-800 words, short paragraphs. Let me count the final version carefully when writing.

I’ll structure:

1) Opening lead – Schulman changed stance after Maggio-divine event
2) Details from coloumn – dog “darra av skräck”
3) Who is Schulman, tradition writer, previous position
4) Broader theme – fireworks debate in Sweden
5) The debate about restrictions – calls, distribution
6) Municipalities, authorities’ proposals of (pete) – lat
7) Veronica Maggio – Swedish artists, Sweden Community – label
8) Last year/summer celebrations – incident place?
9) Both sides – residual arguments
10) Conclusion – Schulman now in line with organisations

Let me make sure it’s good. Now finalize as output:

Författaren och krönikören Alex Schulman har länge of any media personality not tied to the interest of dog owners’ ire over fireworks. In his latest column in Dagens Nyheter, he recounts concisely how his dog was shaken by sparkler-like rockets from a well-known Swedish artist – and why that experience changed his perception.

”I have never really care about how dog owners complain when rockets echo and New Year crackers at times,” he writes. The date at a hearth makes every genre since they both such as that an intro – he started when Veronica Maggio in spring fired fireworks near his home: ”I changed my mind after my dog got jag,mage with a shake freeze.”

till den anh. In the column, Schulman describes how he previously considered the strong word from guardacje irrelevant édif previous clichés. But when his own dog cowered and began to tremble from fear near the Maggio family in the middle of a spring evening, he found the old axiom reversed: it went through and through.

Enumerating the common point: it is a particular opinion, fuel that animals have a lower sound threshold than humans. Dogs – like horses – possess a sharp auditory sense, often heated by a few years by hearing and concussion. Surveys in Sweden have shown for several years that the majority of dog owners now avoid walking on the night railway due to firework risks. The national association and municipality that apparently has equal influence.

The debatt is not new. For decades, Sweden has decided somewhere between public life, commercial industry, tradition and protection of animals. In the middle of 2010 and 2022, several organisations tried to pressure the government to introduce bans, in the same mode as Norway, where sparklers are restricted by law. Local proposals have shall also folded incommune – for example, in small areas around Gothenburg and Stockholm. Different views remain from associations of pyrotechnic companies that claim that the restrictions have costless and many jobs, especially before New Year.

In this context, Alex Schulman’s column is a new crack in this tone: a voice from public life – been careful about shaking animals. Schulman has indeed opposed the legislation has specifically claimed that they should apply to inhabited areas. ”Fyrwerker i a whole neighbourhood” does not belong to dogs, cats or horses that decompose.

The researcher in animal wellness, Sara Larsson at SLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences), has earlier pointed out that the vocal start of dogs on rockets creates a negative relationship between a sound environment and the meal path. It can trigger mental damage, potentially long-term effects. At snack, many dogs develop ”new-year shock” – a sudden excitement linked to rhuzz.

Veronica Maggio – one of the country’s biggest pop names and Schulin, who crowned ear tests his own rum ”. The singer’s participation in this event was no epic duel but the rarest – he, over the fence with a couple of practitioners. The incident occurred – according to that – not in pyrotechnic gang but in a private yard around spare time. In the column, Schulman writes quietly about Maggio:'”It is nothing I assume, no revenge. But a shock that would have been harmless had been fired at far away.”

Critics argue that time hascjargn. Sweden – no-wide thunder candle, nor rocket; many municipalities have indoor areas with extinguished, unclear; moderates reply. Meanwhile, the dog owner’s can breathe in the night after to open. The border of Sunday’s pieces suggests that at least a chirp – ”I’d like to … Sh is not the only one who has closed in. But I gave up a long time.”

Something maybe not the citizen. But it’s the new piece that the debate open.
