At End of Petition for Public Subsidies Bullfight Azores

To: Legislative Assembly of the Azores


His Excellency President of the Legislative Assembly of the Azores,
Their Excellencies the Presidents of Parliamentary Groups ALRAA;
His Excellency President of the Regional Government,


Ex.mas / the ladies / s,

We have seen through this instrument of civic participation, appeal to the governing political class and the Azores to legislate the end of public subsidies to practice bullfighting.

Considering the socio-economic development of country and region, through disinvestment in education, social support, health, employment and wages, transport, housing, education in a culture, have contributed to the degradation of quality of life populations, and many families and people who have lost employment and social supports and who have difficulty complying with the payment of all expenses for their survival with dignity;

Whereas millions of euros of public money transferred to bullfighting in recent years, the Azores, it boosted the economy or regional tourism, produced no welfare, have been an "investment" that benefited only a small lobby;

Whereas science and recognizes unquestionably proves that animals like the bull and horse, are beings capable of feeling emotions, fear, humiliation, physical and psychological pain, such as anxiety, stress and anxiety;

Whereas bullfighting practices are an expression of insensitivity and violence that disinform and nothing dignifies humanity, and recent studies show that children and adults who attend practices bullfighting develop trends of aggression and violence;

Whereas the traditions are not immovable, and subject to continuous change, or may constitute a valid argument to justify the continuation of the cruel and violent.

Whereas a society that enjoys to the suffering of others can not be considered a healthy society and that are becoming more and more countries, regions and municipalities across the world who are to prohibit the practice of bullfighting and other shows with violent animals.

Whereas if you want the Azores is a modern, respected worldwide for their commitment and proximity to natural values, including the care and welfare of animals, an aspect of particular importance to foster a strategic sector for the region as is development of nature tourism.

We request that the Azores take appropriate legislative measures to dignify people, the proper use of public money and good name of our region by prohibiting any financial or logistical support by public authorities to any practice bullfighting, similar to what was Defensor Moura made by socialist, pioneer in Portugal to declare Viana do Castelo municipality free of bullfighting.

We also ask that the region investing above all and foremost, the basic needs of Azorean, as is education, health, housing, social services, transport and the creation and retention of jobs, always considering the preservation, protection and respect for nature, and the next in the Azores.

This is another example of mans inhumanity.How anyone with a modicum of self respect can sit and watch an animal tortured to death in this way is beyond me.I have nothing but contempt for them.It's a barbaric way to behave.
