Urgent campaign against proposed bullfights, using calves, in Carcassonne, France. If these games are oganised bulls and calves will be tortured in a very sadistic way using long spears that cut like a razor, harpoons and swords. Not to mention the poor horses that get deeply wounded by the horns of the bulls.
| Number | Date | Name | Why do you want to stop the bullfighting taken place in Carcassonne? |

| 4,312 | 10:21 am PDT, Jul 11 | Laurel Watson | ullfighting is institutionalized animal abuse. Abusing animals for entertainment is nothing more than savagery and does nothing but degrade animals and humans. It has not placed among civilized people. It should be outlawed. The rest of the world should boycott all cities involved in bullfighting. |
| 4,311 | 9:16 pm PDT, Jul 5 | AUSTIN KENDALL | BECAUSE THEY TORTURE INNOCENT ANIMALS JUST TO "AMUSE" PEOPLE. IT'S LIKE SAYING "SCREW YOU" TO GOD! ANIMALS HAVE FEELINGS TO. THEY HAVE EMOTIONS. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE RESPECTED! |

| 4,309 | 2:22 pm PDT, Jun 17 | Justine Dirmyer | I believe that animals are not ment for the things people put them through. They are companions and nothing more. |
| 4,308 | 2:27 pm PDT, Jun 9 | Linda Heise | Disgusting, to torture any animal for human pleasure |
| 4,307 | 11:27 am PDT, May 20 | Thorsten Kornas | Bullfighting is completly out of time and needs to be banned. |
| 4,306 | 5:46 pm PDT, Apr 16 | Carrie DiBlasio | It's an obvious cruel form of entertianment,and cause's a great deal stress and pain on the animals! |
| 4,305 | 1:16 pm PDT, Apr 8 | Anonymous | I think that it is cruel and unfair that the poor bull has to go through that pain and to be taunted by the audience and then get put down for hurting a crowd member its horrible. |

| 4,296 | 4:19 am PST, Feb 25 | Stuart Jones | I live in a village 5 kms from Carcassonne, and both the City and the surrounding area has so much to offer both Residents and Visitors that this type of "Entertainment" is so unnecessary. I understood that Carcassonne would loose it's World Heritage status if it continued with Bullfighting two years ago....what happened? |

He called for "an end to such bloody amusements, abject and more appropriate for devils than for men." The penalty for violating this decree, is excommunication. Bullfighting is a senseless, degrading spectacle that has no place in a civilized society. |
| 4,286 | 3:02 am PST, Jan 27 | Victoria Mary Stong / Animal Rights Activist | Absolutely not! I also want to bring to the attention a BIG problem against Horses:The murderous sponsor Mr. Cunningham of the petition "Membership Input Futurity and Derby Plans" got angry when I left a very RESPECTFUL comment asking that he put in his rules not to slaughter Horses for his Horseracing business. In response he deleted my commments 2 times! He also emailed me that it's necessary to slaughter Horses in his business! I LOVE this petition and signed around 50 anti-slaughter Horse petitions so far. I ASK EVERYONE TO SIGN "Membership Input Futurity and Derby Plans" PETITION SOLELY TO TELL HIM TO STOP SLAUGHTERING ANIMALS. You can also email him and tell him not to slaughter Horses as a part of his business by clicking on his name on top. His excuse was that I'm not a member, but tens of non-members are signing his petition. Please help in the prevention of Horse Slaughter and sign Mr. Cunnningham's petition asking him to amend his rules stating not to slaughter and kill Horses but to instead send them to a sanctuary when they are unwanted? I want to greatly thank the sponsor of this petition their hard work and effort to save the Horses so that not so many horses will suffer under the hands of heartless and cruel people. God bless you. People like you make this world a better place in which to live just like the animals we all protect!~~~~~~~*For what it's worth; I'm a Former Student & Horsebackrider at The Knox School in St. James, New York and also participated proudly in 3 Horse Shows on their Campus.

| 4,281 | 6:36 pm PDT, Sep 27 | vernice rendon | people have no right in hurting animals. animals may not be seen as important. but they like humans have feelings. and everything you do to them they feel. and that includes skinning them while still alive. "how can people actually have fun, and not feel anything when torturing an animal.?" |

| 4,275 | 4:25 pm PDT, Jul 1 | erika leake | I believe it should be stopped becuase it is 100% wrong, and the people who are doing these horrible things to the animals deserve to die. Let these people run around in a pit and be attacked by bulls, and stick them with sharp objects and throw things at them and see how they feel. Animal abuse should be stopped PERIOD. And anyone who abuses animals deserves to die a slow and painful death. :] |

It's utterly stupid of us humans to think we have the right to torture innocent animals for "fun" :o) |
torturing animals for amusement
The beautiful Ville of Carcassonne, south of France will have for the first time in its history a bullfight with calves on the 1st of September.
We are all aware what the consequences will be, after one, others will come, as there's a lot of money involved in this business, so we must prevent this.
We shoudn't forget the poor horses that are used during the bullfights. Common in these games is that the horses are deeply wounded by the horns of the bulls in their bellies, loosing their intestines and consequentely die.
Your signatures will be sent to the mayor of Carcassonne and the tourist board and hopefully we can stop these games from taking place! Time is short though!
