Campagne internationale contre la torture des taureaux dans l' Estrémadure

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).

 

Please do click on above link which will bring you to sample letters in

different languages to different officials. It¹s very easy and will take

very little time!

 

Please cross post as much as possible!!
