E-mail from Núria Ferrer, March 15th

Dear people,

I will be very short with my e-mail because I know that we all have not too much time...

A professor of a very well known Business School in Barcelona (IESE) has sent an e-mail to all the students, ex-students and employees of the school. In his email he says that in the garden of the school he has seen five cats (two females and three kittens).

He makes several propositions on how to eliminate these animals that he hates. He also proposes the students (men and women doing a master and being prepared to be managers in the most important companies around the world) to beat these animals if they have the oportunity.

He has a male dog, a dachshund, and a friend of his has also a bitch of the same race. He explains (with a big irony) that when his friend's bitch gets puppies (she is already pregnant), he will offer one of them to the guards of the school. He also explains that these kind of dogs are very good hunters and that they have a powerful and strong teeth.

This professor, whose name is Frederic Sabria, is suposed to be a person with a high intelligence and the way he speaks is really repulsive. Typical for a primitive person with no education and feelings for others. He finishes his e-mail saying that the family Sabria will provide the means (the aggressive dachshund with powerful teeth) to finish with this "plague". (He is really proud of himself and his family).

IESE is really a very well-known school around the world and we musn't allow that one of its professors makes such declarations, and if he is stupid enough to write it down he should pay the consequences.

Please write a complaint and send it to the Director of the School, Mr.Jordi Canals and also to Mrs. Carina Gemperle, Responsible for Public relations. It doesn't matter if it is very short, the most important is that he knows that people over the world knows what kind of professors they have at this school that they say is founded on the highest ethical principles of humanity and christianity, that can waste the time and the money of the students writing such perverse things about the poor animals.

Thanks a lot for your collaboration.

What happened then?

The professor as well as the director of the Business School received complaints of several persons as well as important animal associations of Barcelona.

The assistent of the Director was sending excuses to everybody for this, but not the professor. He was upset that someone distributed his private email ("private" - but he sent it to about 300 colleagues and students).

Anyway, I think the director was not too happy about this event and I think this professor will have a second thought before he writes and send that kind of ill things next time!
