A few days ago several activists of PACMA, the Spanish animal party, recorded a terrible video that has been shown all around the world. It was a "becerrada" held in the town of Valmojado, a "celebration" where local young people fight calves that are less than two years old, torturing them with sharp “banderillas”, finishing them off with a sword that is longer than the animal itself and mutilating them by cutting off ears and tail, often while they are still alive. If in a normal bullfight a bullfighter at least face adult bulls that weigh over 500 kg, here we find small baby calves that are looking for their mothers while they are slaughtered for amusement. Watch the video of what happened in Valmojado here, but take into account that the images are very hard (activists that recorded cried as they were editing the video).
Many Spaniards are tired of seeing how our country is associated with such barbarous and inhuman traditions. So, I ask you to join us to ensure that the Spanish Government takes a bold step against animal abuse and end the cruel “becerradas”, which are still celebrated today in more than 200 Spanish villages, eliminating its authorization from the Bullfighting State Regulation.
Please, sign this petition and help us gather thousands of signatures to make even bigger the demonstration that will take place in Madrid on September 10 demanding the abolition of bullfighting and “becerradas”. With your help, we can make it.
