Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 International campaign against the suffering of the bulls in Extremadura (Spain) - english: http://www.moschus.info/tierdach/campaign_coria.htm Campaña internacional contra la tortura de toros en Extremadura (España) - espanol: http://www.moschus.info/tierdach/campaign_coria.htm Campagne internationale contre la torture des taureaux dans l' Estrémadure (Espagne) - francais: http://www.moschus.info/tierdach/campaign_coria.htm Each year, during the fiesta of San Juan in Coria (Cáceres Extremadura, Spain), which lasts for several days, two fighting bulls a day are darted with blowpipes by the public. Their favourite targets are the eyes and testicles. In the end they are covered with darts like a porcupine or pin cushion (hence the term ³toros-acerico²). Bandarillas are stuck in their flesh and pulled out again. Their ordeal lasts for about two hours. They are then killed and castrated in the street. Other cattle are also abused during this blood fiesta. In 1995 British animal activist Vicki Moore was severely injured by the fighting bull ³Argentino² in the town of Coria, when she tried to document his suffering. Later on she died due to her injuries. Since then nothing has changed. Coria tries to promote tourism and for this purpose receives subsidies from the European Union (ERDF European Regional Development Fund).
