The killing of 250 abandoned cows....spain

 

 

We must hurry up with this one!!!!

 

 

PLEASE CROSSPOST !

A couple of weeks ago We sent out this appeal ( see below ) ... Now the

animals have some breathing space but only a little !

IF WE ACT NOW PERHAPS WE CAN SAVE THEM !

There is time !

They still haven't decided yet what to do with them, so we are suggesting

that people send emails to them saying that they must put the cows either in

a sanctuary or in a natural reserve.

Spain has lots of natural reserves.

 

Please write !

Here is the origional appeal ..... !

LEON, ANOTHER SHAMELESS MASSACRE OF ANIMALS IN THE HANDS OF HUNTERS

 

The Council of Agriculture of Castilla and Leon have given permits to hunt

250 abandoned cows.

 

To date 70 cows, calves and bulls that were in the fields of the area of La

Cabrera, have been shot to death. According to the newspaper " El Pais " dated

3.3.2003 the spectacle was terrifying: " The animals rolled in the fields

more than 400 meters. Many of them screamed with pain until the hunters used

a firearm to terminate them, some of them suffering hours till death gave

them peace. There were pregnant cows and also baby cows....... "

 

According to the same source, the continuation of the hunt is scheduled for

next week.

 

The Spanish Authorities don't give a damn for the welfare of animals and

show contempt for the animal protection laws.
