Please, help Spanish bulls!

In Spain, a lot of bulls are cruelty killed in the name of tradition!

Please, help Spanish bulls:
Every year a lot of f bulls are cruelty killed in bullfights because this is one of the Spanish traditions. I’m asking for international pressure and help from other countries so that the Spanish Government change their laws and in this way forbid this barbarous tradition.

If you feel strongly about bullfights , you can E-mail the Spanish Home Office or the Spanish embassy, to give them your opinion about bullfights and other bloody celebrations with animals.

Most Spanish people don’t like bullfights, but they are a very important business for farming firms.

There are some bullrings which have been built just for business of tourism, such as in Lloret de Mar in Costa Brava.

What can you do?

You can E-mail the Spanish Home Office:
Ministerio del Interior
Pº de la Castellana, 5
28071 Madrid
España
Fax + 34 915371177
Email: estafeta@mir.es

Thank you to help animals. In Spain their situation is really very bad.
