Stop Burning Live Bulls - End Sadistic Festivals
Target:
Medinaceli Junta - Spain and EU
Sponsored by:
FESTIVALS - TORO FUEGO - DO NOT HAVE TO BE SADISTIC!
=========================================
Petition Deadline: 30th October 2010
On the 14th Nov 09, PACMA in Spain hand delivered our petition (then having 7654 signatures) to the Medinaceli -Soria Junta . Various animal rights orgs protested on site. Despite the public outcry the bull 'Felipe' was set on fire!
We are keeping this petition open until mid 2010 - to garner more signatures. The petition will then again be handed to the Junta and to the EU - putting pressure on them to act against Spain!
The purpose of this petition is to protest against the annual FireBull festival in Spain, specifically in the Soria province. A bull that has balls of flammable material attached to its horns which are lighted, and is set free in the streets at night for dodging during Spanish festivals. This happens annualy, at the end of the second week of November.
Animal Rights Activists in Spain need our help!

Estimados directivos de Espa%uFFFDa:
En el siglo XXI es inaceptable que se siga usando la crueldad contra los animales como forma de entretenimiento o tradici%uFFFDn. Sin embargo, el %u2018Toro J%uFFFDbilo%u2019 se celebra anualmente en Medinaceli, una provincia de Soria, Espa%uFFFDa. La multitud, fren%uFFFDtica, acosa a un toro al que previamente han colocado en sus cuernos (o en un armaz%uFFFDn sujeto a los cuernos) bolas de alquitr%uFFFDn o aguarr%uFFFDs y a las que prenden fuego. Como consecuencia se chamuscan los cuernos, el cuerpo y los ojos del toro.
Algunos de los animales intentan escapar de las largas horas de agon%uFFFDa, chocando violentamente contra las paredes.
Espect%uFFFDculos arcaicos desacreditan la imagen de Espa%uFFFDa y perjudican al turismo. Yo no puedo apoyar a ninguna sociedad que ignora la brutalidad inconsciente contra los animales. Yo voy a persuadir a otras personas a participar en un boicot al turismo y al comercio espa%uFFFDoles hasta que se proh%uFFFDban permanentemente el %u2018Toro J%uFFFDbilo%u2019 y otras fiestas sangrientas.
Yo insto a los directivos espa%uFFFDoles a que ejerzan presi%uFFFDn para que haya leyes de protecci%uFFFDn animal m%uFFFDs duras que protejan a los animales de todas las formas de abuso, incluso rituales y fiestas sangrientas de bajo nivel, y que se apliquen esas leyes.
Aunque culturas diferentes puedan no entender las costumbres unas de otras, todos los seres humanos racionales entienden lo qu%uFFFD es la crueldad. Prender fuego a un animal vivo %u2013 conocido como %u2018Toro de Fuego%u2019 o %u2018Toro Embolado%u2019 %u2013 es s%uFFFDdico.
Es llegada la hora de que todas las regiones de Espa%uFFFDa suscriban las doctrinas %uFFFDticas que forman nuestro mundo civilizado. El patrimonio, el entretenimiento, el arte y la religi%uFFFDn no justifican la tortura explicita.
Muchas gracias,

Honorable Officials of Spain:
Animal cruelty is not acceptable as entertainment or tradition in the 21st Century. Yet the Toro Jubilo annually occurs in Medinaceli, a province of Soria, Spain. Jeering mobs harass a bull with balls of burning tar or turpentine (called "pitch") attached to his horns. A bull%u2019s horns, body and eyes are scorched. Some try to escape hours of agony by smashing into walls.
Archaic spectacles tarnish Spain%u2019s reputation and hinder tourism. I cannot support any society that ignores the senseless brutalization of animals. I will advise others to join me in a boycott of Spanish tourism and commerce until the Toro Jubilo and other blood fiestas are permanently banned.
I urge Spanish officials to enforce stronger animal cruelty laws that shield animals from all forms of abuse, including vulgar rituals and blood fiestas.
While different cultures may not understand each other%u2019s customs, all rational humans comprehend cruelty. Setting fire to a live animal %u2014 known as Toro de Fuego or %u201Cbull on fire%u201D %u2014 is sadistic.
It is time for all regions of Spain to subscribe to the ethical doctrines that shape our civilized world. Heritage, entertainment, art and religion never justify outright torture.
Thank you,

Animals feel pain just as humans do, its a no brainer. It doestn take a genius to figure out that when you burn an animal alive that its going to hurt like hell. Why should we hurt a human and be punished then hurt and animal who cannot speak for themselves and get away with it?
