Please read the following story. It is true and happens often in Spain. Sign up this letter so that such torturous fun is finished.
Just over a week ago, in the town of Medinaceli in the Castilla y León region of Spain, a bull had flaming torches attached to his horns as part of El Toro Jubilo festival, a “fire bull” fiesta.
Late in the evening, the bull was roped to a post in the town square. He was held down whilst flammable materials were attached to his horns and lit.
Then, with flames leaping above his head, the bull dashed about the square tossing his head again and again, turning in one direction then the next, trying to escape the flames above his head. As the fire burned loud firecrackers exploded above the square.
It is simply not acceptable to torment an animal in this way.Please help us put an end to this terrible spectacle.
Animal suffering is never acceptable as a form of entertainment. Join us, and compassionate people from across Spain, in calling for an end to the torment of animals at these fiestas.
