德国一家动物慈善机构近日发布了一则动物绝育广告，而广告代言人竟是丑闻缠身的意大利总理西尔维奥·贝卢斯科尼。广告标语赫然写道：“太多性行为可能是件坏事……猫狗也一样！”

A file photo of the ad. A German animal welfare charity has launched an ad campaign for pet de-sexing that features scandal-hit Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi next to the slogan ’Too much sex can be a bad thing ... for dogs and cats too.‘
The aging lothario（色狼） became the latest in a line of famous faces to feature in a poster campaign by the People for the Ethical¹ Treatment of Animals' (PETA) German affiliate²（联号，子公司） .

Previous libido³（性欲，生命力） lovers who starred in the ads included porn actresses Jenna Jameson, Ron Jeremy and Sasha Grey and womanisng golf pro⁴ Tiger Woods.

"Il Cavaliere [The Knight⁵, a nickname for Berlusconi] can do a great service by encouraging everyone to have their dogs and cats desexed ... The hundreds of thousands of homeless strays in Italy don't make headlines as Berlusconi does, but they need people to pay attention to the crisis their casual sex is causing," PETA spokeswoman Mimi Bekhechi said.

Despite the fact that Berlusconi did not endorse⁶（认可，赞同） the ad, PETA said that "the image and the idea were too good to pass up when it comes to helping⁷ find homes for animals who will otherwise be left out in the cold."

The prime minister was scheduled to stand trial in April on charges of abusing his power and paying for sex with a 17-year-old girl, in a scandal that dominated his premiership in recent months.

It was alleged⁸ that the 74 year old paid for sex with nightclub dancer Karima El Mahroug, known as "Ruby⁹ the Heart-Stealer," and then improperly¹⁰ used his position by asking Milan police to release the Moroccan dancer after she was picked up for suspected theft, saying she was the granddaughter of Egypt's then-president Hosni Mubarak.

Berlusconi maintains that he has not broken the law.
