Help Ban Bullfighting

Target: President Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
Sponsored by: Care2.com

Every year 250,000 bulls die slow and torturous deaths as a result of the bullfighting industry. While many of us imagine the matador piercing the heart of the bull with one quick movement, in reality the bull is repeatedly stabbed, skewered and slowly weakened as it bleeds to death.

The gruesome killing of hundreds of thousands of bulls is done in the name of entertainment and has no place in our modern society. It is time to update this outmoded tradition and start treating animals more humanely.

Sign the petition and show your support in abolishing the cruel and barbaric sport of bullfighting.

Dear President Zapatero,

I am writing today to strongly urge you to support the ban on bullfighting. As you are well aware, there is a growing condemnation of bullfighting not only in Spain, but around the world. Bullfighting is both cruel and inhumane and I am one of the millions of people throughout the world that is calling for its abolition.

Bullfighting is an outmoded and barbaric form of "entertainment" that has no place in our modern society and needs to be stopped. Moreover, the vast majority of Spaniards and the rest of the world condemn bullfighting and the mass killing of animals.

[Your comment will be inserted here]

The current animal protection laws ban the killing and mistreating of animals in shows except in the case of bullfights. This antiquated law needs to be updated and revised so that we can effectively end the killing of hundreds of thousands of animals in the name of entertainment.

Bullfighting is a merciless and torturous form of entertainment and I strongly urge you to take a stance in ending animal cruelty by supporting the ban on bullfighting today.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my comments. I eagerly await your response.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]

We signed the “Help Ban Bullfighting” petition!

THIS TRULY BARBARIC SLAUGHTERING WHICH THEY CALL SPORT SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL AND A GLOBAL BAN IMPLEMENTED. IT IS ALARMING THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE MANY YEARS AGO.

The torture of any animal should be banned in Spain. The image that Spain projects to the world when promoting bullfighting and fiestas involving cruelty to animals is one of a cold, cruel and backward people. Spain needs to consign animal cruelty to the history books so that Spain can be respected on a world stage.

Es una vergüenza que se sigan haciendo las corridas de toros! Eso es maltrato Animal por donde se mire, los animales son seres vivos, que también gracias a Dios tienen derechos. Con esta tradición se estimula la violencia y el maltrato animal. Abolición para esta práctica inhumana !

Nadie quiere esto. ¡Abolición YA! Nos consideran el país más cruel de Europa respecto a la violencia con los animales. Por favor, entremos en razón.

Senor Zapatero, Le expreso toda mi estima por lo que ha echo por los derechos de los homosexuales. Ahora La invido a hacer algo para abolir la tauromaquia en todas sus formas. Espana es un Pais de gran cultura y tradicion; pero no se puede considerar cutlura y tradicion la crueldad contra seres indefensos. Espana tiene que entrar en el siglo xix. Muchas gracias, un saludo de Alemania
