Dear
visitors,
Annually
thousands of bulls are horribly tortured and killed for the pleasure of a
bloodthirsty public. Originating in Spain this culture of dishonor to the bull
spread throughout Southern France and Portugal.
In
France bullfighting is about to take over the entire country.
There are already more than 60
French cities where bullfights are organized, and
each year it increases! These
bulls are mercilessly tormented then brutally killed. Now the unscrupulous
promoters have put out their feelers in Northern France trying to make this
blood sport more respectable. The fact that bullfighting is practiced at all
in France is not well known in other countries.
Examples
of these bloody spectacles are now surfacing in China, North and South
America. The media of our fun society proves to be the accomplice when it
comes to circulating this Iberian barbarism.
We
have tips that will give you some idea about what to do when
you visit a country that hosts bullfighting. Although
the list is by no means complete. We
can also provide you with information about
French towns that have these bullfights and that
are twinned with towns in English speaking countries. We also have
postcards available for you to send to the
Mayors of these French so called ‘blood towns’.
The
message on our website denounces this terrible cruelty to animals. If
you would like more information about bullfighting in France please visit our
