PLEASE email these Americans, Canadians and Australians who run this organisation which promotes the running of the bulls and bullfighting. They're making money out of cruelty, torture and murder and must be flooded with protest emails! The VAST MAJORITY of Spaniards are AGAINST bullfights, and many work hard to get them abolished, but until people like these outsiders stop promoting it to tourists who come to our country, our fight will be in vain!! Many of these tourists don't realise how much cruelty they're going to witness and come out of the bullfights crying and some are sick.

PLEASE email them, tell them about the facts you all know, that WE Spaniards do not want outsiders or other Spaniards to torture and murder these magnificent, innocent animals, and that many people from outside Spain are very much against it and joining our protest! Please help!

You can browse through their site to get the various email addresses (click on the 'visit site' button to get to their page), but the following are the staff section (where you can get some of their individual emails) and the contact section:

Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing to express my disgust at your company’s promotion and profiting from the bull running event.

This is horrific, cruel and unnecessary abuse of other living animals and should have no part in our culture.

I will certainly never use your company and ask that you desist from expoloiting the pain and suffering of animals so as to profit your business.

Yours sincerely

It's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of. Personally, I'd be more worried about the people that participate in that nonsense. Don't they think they might be gored or stomped on?

Monday June 30, 2008, 1:13 pm
yeah too right, males as usual or

Monday June 30, 2008, 1:25 pm
Tnx for posting, mail sent to stop this cruelty.

Monday June 30, 2008, 1:33 pm
Maybe those idiots need a horn rammed into their buttocks - might knock some sense into them as their brains seem to be located in that part of their anatomy.

Monday June 30, 2008, 2:06 pm
you go Marena my thoughts exactly, i sent the the letters thanks linda, and noted

Monday June 30, 2008, 4:17 pm
i think there are far worse things occurring in the world than this. Traffic downtown is far crueler and more environmentally unsustainable than this. Lighten up.

Monday June 30, 2008, 4:25 pm
Hell let them run the more people trampled and their heads smashed in the better then may it will bring sense to them...the dumbasses.

Will sign...

Who cares about traffic I am more worried about the bulls....

Monday June 30, 2008, 4:29 pm
Very well said Marena!!!! They all deserve a good gore in the rear...if not a good stomp in the head too...
When one of my uncles was little and the family owned a dairy, my uncle was sitting of the fence one day lighting matches and throwing them underneath a bull. My grandfather caught him doing this and grabbed him up and beat the living tar out of him so fast and furious that my grandmother had to come out and stop him, he was so engulfed in rage. Needless to say, my uncle never did anything like that again in his entire life and is a good man. Anybody involved in any kind of abuse like this needs a good dose their own medicine. This cures a lot of ills real quick.

Monday June 30, 2008, 4:34 pm
LMAO..good story Jilyanne that mad me laugh...But your uncle deserved it did he not...LOL DONT be abusive to any animal!!!!

Who is the "traffic" frog?

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 1:17 am
Thank you everybody... love your comments, spot on all of them - except of course the frog (one of them Peter Griffin zeroes - see his empty profile! - probably one of the people who own the stupid tour company who´s come for revenge at our emails! He he!).

According to his 'principles', really we can only concentrate on one cause, the most "important" one whichever that one is (he´s probably the best judge to tell us all which one that is), so if there are, say, ten million causes to fight for (all caused by the human species as always, of course), then sorry mate, but as long as the most "important" one is there forget all the other ones. No, don´t fight for them, I´m telling it´s not a good idea! That´s such an intelligent stance, don´t you think? D'Oh! Peter Griffin!! Ha ha!!

And by the way, "funky man", if they choose to take you and "run" you and then take you to the bullring and humiliate and torture you for fifteen minutes, then kill you while everyone cheers, don´t worry, there will "far worse things occuring in the world" than that. "Traffic downtown", for instance. So we´ll lighten up and do nothing.

That is true that social actions are drived, ever. But who can have interess from some bulshit and stupid traditions ? from all dengerous , degenerous,prodigal manifestations? Poligon of liberation of agressivity need people whitch have low human and spiritual feelings inside. These need no healthy sport , but bloody, fruitsless , speedy andrenaline shock.Somebody anyway ever earn from that kind of ignorance, like from drugs..Somebody use them like own struments ...they must shame ...

Thanks again! Every grain of sand counts!

GUYS, CHECK OUT THE BRILLIANT EMAIL MY FRIEND HAS SENT THEM!!:

As a Spaniard, I am DISGUSTED at and offended by your website and your company. I am a Spanish person campaigning and fighting for the abolition of bullfights. Although the vast majority of us Spaniards either don't like bullfights or are against them, we have a tough fight ahead of us, made even tougher by outsiders like yourselves promoting our evil "fiestas" in your countries for financial gain.

You all look quite young and have probably not had many chances to meet many Spaniards outside of those you find attending the dreadful San Fermines, and the foreigners who are lured by the image of "fiesta" my country shamefully promotes. I imagine that you probably came to a San Fermín one year, liked the whole selfish, uncultured Neanderthal attitude some of our fellow countrymen have and thought you'd be very popular and trendy promoting our evil ways. Well let me tell you that the majority of us are DEEPLY ashamed about the horrors that this torture and murder entails and are doing our best to abolish it, and you lot make it worse by promoting it, so thanks very much for nothing.

If you really think you know much about our "culture", to call it something, then I'm sure you must be bilingual, or at the very least very fluent in Spanish, por lo tanto os pido que visitéis algunas de las muchísimas páginas españolas contra la horrorosa barbarie que son las corridas de toros y las llamadas "fiestas" donde se torturan a estos magníficos, nobles, indefensos e inocentes animales que vosotros disfrutáis maltratando al asistir y promover esta vergüenza por ánimo de lucro.

Aquí tenéis algunos enlaces a páginas (¡os envío pocas comparado con la cantidad que hay!) para que os déis cuenta del gran número de españoles inteligentes y cultos de verdad que existen sólo en este país (y muchos más fuera de él, por supuesto) que están en contra.

And if you are not fluent in Spanish then I find it even more amazing that you have the nerve to promote something from a country you clearly don't know much about. If you can't understand what I've written in Spanish, let me know and I'll translate it for you.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do...? Then listen to over 80% of the Spanish population and do as the Spaniards do. Respect us, respect the bulls, respect life. Stop your horrendous work.

Here are some of those websites:

Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc... (there are many, many more... Google them if you're interested, or follow the various links from the pages I've sent you).

Yours disgusted,

Antonio
PS: And to those of you in Canada, don´t you have enough torture and killing with your own, tragic, killing of baby seals?! Stop the torture!
