To end bullfighting in Europe

To end bullfighting in Europe

Target:
To end bullfighting in Europe
In Europe, bullfighting can be found in Spain, France and Portugal. Approximately 40,000 bulls die in bullfights every year in Europe.

In spite of bullfighting being a cruel and inhumane tradition, many people, not only Spaniards, watch this spectacle. The corrida is still legal in France and Portugal, but in Spain, most of the visitors are tourists.

I will never step foot inside any country that allows bullfighting resulting in the death of the animal.

I cannot believe that something like this still exists in this world, especially in Europe. In general, Europe is usually a more progressive society. In this case, it is clearly the opposite. It is like we are living in Roman times. This barbaric, ridiculous, horrifying event must be stopped immediately.

How about doing what YOU KNOW IS THE RIGHT THING. I believe we all have a little voice inside of us that tells us what is right and what is wrong. Why not listen, it may be God Talking. Pain and suffering is felt by every animal that is upon the earth. I urge you to stop the pain and suffering of these Bulls and other animals that are tortured everyday like the dog & cats in China-you want to see more suffering-go to-you tube-type in: dog and cat fur from china-LOOK at the BULLS WHILE YOU ARE THERE- they suffer and anyone who watches are just as guilty. I Plead with you to Stop The BULL FIGHTS-WITHOUT THE VIEWERS AT BULLFIGHTS WOULD THERE BE ANY BULLFIGHTS? PLEASE STOP THE BULLFIGHTS.

ONE OF MY FIRST MEMORIES AS AN OLDER CHILD IS THE HORROR AND SADNESS I FELT WHEN I SAW A NEWS CLIP OF A BULLFIGHT. EVER SINCE THEN IF THE NEWS COVERS A STORY WERE PEOPLE ARE GORED BY THE BULLS, I STAND UP AND CHEER AND CLAP. BULLFIGHT IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE TERM FOR THIS SPECTACLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT`S SIMPLY OBSERVING AN ANIMAL BEING HARASSED AND TAUNTED WHILE IT SLOWLY BLEEDS TO DEATH FROM THE SPEAR`S THAT ARE THRUST INTO IT`S BODY.....ALL THE WHILE A MAN IN A SPARKELY OUTFIT STRUTS AROUND LIKE HE`S SOME SORT OF HERO. THE COUNTRIES THAT STILL HAVE ``BULLFIGHTS`` HAVE MANY OTHER WONDERFUL AND JOYFUL TRADITIONS THAT CAN BE EXPERIENCED BY ALL, THERE IS NO NEED TO CONTINUE THIS REPUGNANT ONE. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO YOUR CULTURE, STOP THIS CRUEL AND OBSCENE PRACTICE. IT DOESN`T FIT THE WORLD`S VIEW ON HOW ANIMAL`S SHOULD BE TREATED. UNTIL THEN I WILL CONTINUE TO CHEER WHEN THE BULL`S EXACT REVENGE AND GORE PEOPLE.

Bullfighting has no place in the 21st century, it is cruel and inhumane. Animals where not put on this planet for entertainment. What kind of person find any kind of pleasure or joy from tormenting a innocent creature to death and what kind of people pay to sit and watch it suffer. This barbaric tradition has got to stop now!!!
