Honorable Sirs:

 

I learned that there will be a celebration with hunting and

bullfights on the occasion of the wedding of the future King of

Spain, Prince Felipe. These acts are totally inappropriate of a

modern country. To associate the wedding with the suffering of the

animals in the name of an anticuated tradition approved only by a

pitiful minority, is not only archaic, but undignified of a modern

and democratic Royal House!

 

The Royal Family doesn't seem aware of the fact that both Spaniards

and European citizens have shown their total rejection to any kind

of spectacles and acts where animals are victims of torture and

death. The influence of the bullfighting circles may have reached

the Royal House…but it is considered unjust and immoral that the

Royal Family should accept this type of acts so cruel and degrading

to men and animals alike!

We do hope that the future Kings of Spain re-direct their interest

in educating their children to respect ALL living beings, and also

in considering democracy above the interests of the group.

 

Respectfully yours,

Enhorabuena por la boda real. !Pero sin toros y sin caza,

por favor!

 

Distinguidos Señores,

He tenido conocimiento de la intención de celebrar una cacería y una

corrida de toros para celebrar el enlace matrimonial del futuro Rey

de España.

 

Los actos mencionados son impropios de un país moderno. Unir la boda

al sufrimiento de animales en nombre de una tradición caduca y

minoritaria, no es solo arcaico, sino indigno de una casa Real

moderna y democrática.

 

 

La Casa Real no parece consciente de que tanto los españoles, como

el resto de los ciudadanos europeos, han mostrado su rechazo total a

cualquier tipo de espectáculos y actividades en las que los animales

son víctimas de torturas o muerte. La influencia de los círculos

taurinos puede que alcance la esfera de la Casa Real, pero considero

injusto e inmoral que la Familia Real acepte este tipo de acciones,

crueles y denigrantes para hombres y animales.

 

Esperamos que los futuros Reyes de España transmitan su preocupación

en educar a sus hijos en el respeto por TODOS los seres vivos y en

situar la democracia sobre los intereses de grupo.

 

Con todos mi respetos,

To the Royal Court of Spain

 

 

 

Your Highnesses,

 

 

 

First of all we share your grief for the victims of the train

attacks in Madrid on March 11th.

 

 

 

Action Against Poisoning is informed on some aspects of the

preparationfor thewedding of Prince Felipe. We hope that the Royal

Family, their guests and the Spanish people will enjoy a perfect day

of joyful celebration that will be a mondial event.

 

Allegedly bullfights and hunting are part of the program. If this is

the case we beg you to refrain from any such festivities that

include cruelty towards animals. We hope you can understand that the

majority of the people who witness the celebration get deeply hurt

byany (formal or folkloristic) ceremonial activity that involves

cruelty towards animals.

 

Festivities in particular do not match with any form of suffering,

either from people or animals. For that matter we are convinced that

cruelty is picked up easily by children whentorture and killing is

connected with positive feelings like heroism and joy. Besides that

cruelty towards animals is one step away from cruelty towards

people.

 

We hope that your Royal Family will use the wedding of Prince Felipe

as an example for Spain and the rest of the world to tilt the

balance in well respected folkloristic customs towards a greater

respect for animal life.

 

Yours truly,

 

Action Against Poisoning
