Title: Ban Bullfighting in one of Spain's Largest Regions! -28th JULY
Post by: Tan on July 22, 2010, 09:16:43 AM

 Target: The Catalonian Parliament
Sponsored by: World Society of the Protection of Animals (WSPA)

Every year, hundreds of thousands of bulls die in the name of entertainment. But this may change because the Catalonian government is on the verge of voting for a ban on bullfighting.

After a huge anti-cruelty campaign by the Catalonian public, the regional parliament will vote on July 28th whether to ban bullfight for good. We want every Catalonian MP to know there are thousands of people around the world who want to end this cruel 'sport'.

This is an historic moment and we need your help.

Please Sign the petition urging the Catalonian Parliament to end the blood sport of bullfighting -- we only have until July 28th.

Signed.  I so hate this practice and cannot for the life of me understand why Spanish people enjoy watching such a barbaric practice.

A lot of the signatures are from Spain which hopefully will help the cause.
