Demand to stop now "Torneo del Lazo" Yucatan, Mexico

The “Torneo de Lazo” event that takes place in Yucatan needs to end. During the event, trained bulls ram and eviscerate horses, and the injured horses then die slowly on the ground while continuously being trampled. This is used as a form of entertainment, and its barbarism is self-evident. This sort of violence is harmful to society, to the animals involved, and to the international view of Mexico. These are all serious problems, and can be solved simply by cracking down on the “Torneo de Lazo.” This is a form of entertainment, which means that children, as well as adults, go and view this hyper-violence for fun. This only perpetuates the harmful myth that animals are objects to be used for human entertainment, and instills a disregard for non-human life in children. It causes a number of horses intense pain, fear, and suffering, and they die incredibly cruel deaths. There is nothing that could justify this lack of humanity. It is known that the number of tourists going to Mexico has been decreasing, and events like this could be part of the reason. Mexico’s international reputation suffers greatly when cruelties like this one are revealed. This extreme violence is a source of outrage to all who hear of it, and it is a blight on Mexico’s international reputation. By making sure the authorities end this illegal event, Mexico will only improve itself as a place for children, animals, and as a nation.
