Ask the mayor of the French seaside resort of Mimizan to cease plans to hold a bullfighting event on 5 August. Find out more and take the quick and easy email action.

Stop bullfighting in Mimizan. Contact the town’s mayor, Christian Plantier, now and help protect animals from the cruelty of bullfighting.

Bullfighting in France is only allowed if the town in which the event is due to take place can prove “an unbroken tradition” of the sport. No bullfight has ever taken place in Mimizan.

We need your support to stop this event from happening. We need you to help us make bullfighting history!

The French seaside resort of Mimizan is holding a novillada, a bullfight with young bulls on 5 August. Although picadors, the men on horseback, who thrust their lance into the bull’s flesh during a corrida, are absent in a novillada, the bull is still mutilated during the fight. It still suffers horrendous injuries and is eventually killed by the matador.

What’s more, no bullfighting has ever taken place in Mimizan and the mayor wants to “revitalise” the city with the event. Don’t let this happen!
