6,574 11:14 am PDT, Jul 8 Jillian Blume 10280 United States Bullfighting is cruel and degrading — both for the animal and especially for mankind. It supports a world where inflicting pain is a sport and killing is a reward. If we cannot feel any compassion for animals, how can we teach our children to respect the life of human beings? I understand the fact that it is a tradition, but it is time for the tradition to evolve. Keep the pageantry, end the cruelty!

6,568 6:55 pm PDT, Jul 5 Connie Urias 80239 United States it breaks my heart that animals are treated this way. bullfighting is a sad excuse for the pathetic human race to feel suprerior, when animals should have the same rights. just because theyre considered "useless" it doesnt mean we should use them for food or entertainment. it really pisses me off that the bullfighters are proud of killing a defenseless animal, and say that theyre doing that for the animals own good...oh god whatever...

We used to have floggings in city squares...were not sorry we stopped floggings and executions are we? the bull is drugged and has his ears stuffed with cotton balls, he is disabled and in pain, not aggressive!...he suffers a lot of pain and there is no dignity or "Art" in it.

6,559 6:40 am PDT, Jun 18 julles freemantle gu55tn United Kingdom bullfighting is the most cowardly of 'sport', the bulls are tormented, and have vaseline rubbed into their eyes before the bullfight, so they cannot see to defend themselves, so they are dissadvantaged from the start, otherwise the so-called bullfighters wouldnt win, so this pursuit is not only cruel in the extreme, but also very cowardly, and deceitful.

6,555 8:19 am PDT, Jun 16 Lisa Meanock m350ax United Kingdom Please please everybody help to stop this horrible cruel sport, i absolutely hate calling it a sport, because i believe a sport does not involve death however if a person CHOOSES to act in a sport that could lead to death- good for them, a animal does not have the choice. Its absolutely disgusting, isnt there enough death in the world without killing innocent animals that have done no wrong and would be better used, killed in a humain way and fed to the starving millions!!!!!!!!!! not out mastered by a small dicked spanish idiot that only has the brains to have a job that involves sticking things in animals (are these people real!!!!)God only knows what else they stick in the bull before he actually gets into the arena.

STOP bullfighting in Catalonia, Spain

PETITION TO THE PARLIAMENT OF CATALONIA

1) The declaration of principles of the Catalan Law for the Protection of Animals, 22/2003 of July 4th, considers animals as organisms endowed with physical and psychic sensitivity.
2) The Plenary of Barcelona City Council, agreeing with ethical principles, declared itself anti-bullfighting (6-4-2004).
3) Bullfights are a public show the practice and finality of which are physical and psychic suffering, agony and death of the bulls, besides the risks and ill-treatments for the horses.
4) As a cruel and violent show, it results anti-educative, painful and is incompatible with the principle of respect that animals deserve.

As a consequence, by signing below, we adhere and solicit that the Parliament promote and approve, as soon as possible, the modification of the Law for the Protection of Animals, by suppressing bullfights in Catalonia.
