Shanghai Bull fight!!

[Guest guest]

It appears that the bullfight was not cancelled, merely postponed.

We must makeourviews heard, again

 

 

Dear Friends,

 

According to reports in the newspaper Shanghai Daily News, on

Ocotber the 6th a bullfight would take place in the Shanghai Stadium.

 

Well according to the same newspaper, dated 28/9/2004 the bullfight

did not take place and was rescheduled to 23/24th October at Yangpu

Stadium.

Yangpu belongs to Shanghai district.

 

The article is not very clear therefore we transcribe it.

 

Stop the bull

 

THE city's first bullfight was rescheduled from October 23-24 at

Yangpu

Stadium in Yangpu District. The event was originally to run during

the

National Day holiday at Shanghai Stadium. It was postponed by the

Shanghai

Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau as Spain is listed with

mad cow

disease. Organizers will use eight bulls from Mexico instead.

Dear Sirs,

 

I understand that a bullfight is being organized on Ocotber 23/24 at

the Yangpu Stadium.

 

I wish to express my dismay that you are intending to allow the

murder of six innocent animals. You should be aware that this

bullfight will irrevocably stain the image and reputation of your

city as well as your country as host of the Olympic Games of 2008.

 

Throughout the world the number of people that fight for a better

and more compassionate society grows daily.

 

You still have time to change your minds and prevent this bullfight.

Please show the world that you respect living animals, and the

people that are fighting for a better world.

 

Hoping for a positive answer.

 

Yours sincerely
