How did non U.S. residents sign petition? Mine only allows U.S. residents to sign. I'm in Canada. This happens a lot and it gets to be annoying.

Personally, I really think that FIFA should put a stop to this barbaric act by withdrawing the games. I wrote them years ago regarding have the soccer games at South Korea to with the shocking killings of dogs and cats and they just couldn't care less, it's probably the same thing with this situation. I think it was south Korea at the time, I'm not into sports so I could have it wrong.

NOTED and signed, thank you Gypsy!! A "blessing" of the World Cup? This kind of traditions is not of time anymore, we don't live in the dark ages, though many people seem to think so. Wake up SA, ban all so called traditions which involve animal cruelty/abuse/murder. Otherwise: a total BOYCOT of SA in every way possible!!
