Dear tia/poidogsanuenue,
In just a few weeks, a bull will be chased out of the town of Tordesillas by groups of men on foot and horseback wielding long spears. They’ll lure the animal into the surrounding countryside, where he’ll be taunted, prodded and eventually stabbed to death. His killer will then be celebrated as a hero.
This terrible event is just one of thousands of similar spectacles held in Spain every year, spectacles in which bulls suffer tremendous pain and suffering in the name of entertainment.
The General Secretary of Spain's PSOE political party has personally spoken out against Toro de la Vega. Join us in calling on Spanish politicians to introduce legislation that would end animal abuse in public events like this.
Last year, at an event supported by HSI, tens of thousands of Spanish citizens marched through central Madrid to make their opposition to cruel bull fiestas heard loud and clear. Neither entertainment nor culture can excuse cruelty to animals.
Together, let’s urge their elected representatives in Spain to take a compassionate stand against cruelty to animals.
Thank you so much for all that you do for animals.
Sincerely,
Andrew Rowan
