  • Deadline: 8-14-2003
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.

4,340 10:54 am PDT, Mar 24   taylor sonita Why is it that man wants to kill animals. Instinct. We are no better than most cats. You know when you're fighting and the opponent runs and you feel that small rush for a second, that is your instinct telling you to chase. But we have "supressed" these because we see it as wrong to kill humans. So we kill animals which don't have any way to defend themselves from us. Or we do it for the thrills, but either way we should learn to repress this to.
4,339 1:02 am PST, Feb 26 Ms. michel michaeljohn This godless, purely pagan, "Christ-less," evil is in complete VIOLATION of the Lord Christ's COMMANDED "entrustment" to ALL of humanity of "benevolent" dominion of ALL of "HIS" sinless, innocent animals on the planet. The "bullfight;" what a SATANIC SHAMEFUL DISGRACE BEFORE and AGAINST ALMIGHTY GOD, ( ABOLISH it or you WILL stand in JUDGMENT before HIM. )
4,338 9:28 am PST, Feb 2 Ms. Anonymous It is senseless and cruel. it is absolutely not human to torture and kill any creature who can feel pain. bullfighting is no sport, it is murder.

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 Mr. 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!
4,310 11:42 am PDT, Jun 21   K. Hunt In bullfighting the bull can never win, he always is tortured and killed. I think whoever practices in this so called sport should be hanged by the neck until dead.
4,309 2:22 pm PDT, Jun 17 Ms. 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 Mr. Thorsten Kornas Bullfighting is completly out of time and needs to be banned.
4,306 5:46 pm PDT, Apr 16 Ms. 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.

4,303 11:53 pm PDT, Mar 19   Arlette Scharer  
4,302 4:24 pm PDT, Mar 12 Ms. Twitney H. Because those are inicient animals. Wat did they ever do to those people. Those animals don't deserve to be treated like that!! :(

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!
