MR MAYOR,
We , the undersigned hereby, learnt horrified about the cruel ANNUAL FESTIVAL happening in your town,SABUCEDO," RAPA DAS BESTAS",where horses are brought in from the mountains of the Galicia region to small stone arenas, where they are wrestled to the ground, ridden, marked and sheared as part of a centuries-old tradition called Rapa das Bestas, or Shearing of the Beasts,
here is the link for the animal lovers who dont know about this cruel festival,:

a rreal shame and animal torture for the 21 century and a shamefor your country which still use these 'festivals' =tortures of innocent animals, in the name of 'TRADITION' or history, "cultural events" and which, we think brings also great financial profits to the sponsors from abusing innocent horses....
We protest and ask, in the name of a NEW ERA to stop these cruelties like the horse fighiting festivals,not to mention the horrible bullfights, which has to remain sample memories of an old history...
Thank you
