Sorry for posting something distressing, but I felt I had to tell others…

Is this really true?  I cannot belive it (well I can, but I don’t like to point the finger.)  I know bull fighting is on the list of cruel sports, but this is beyond belief!  Likewise, I read of another ‘festival/tradition’ (sorry, don’t have the name of the town to hand), but a goat is thrown from the very high church tower annually. If it survives it is then drowned in the river.  STOP THIS MADNESS!

Susan see this…

Also, just to show that animal cruelty is not just limited to Spain, if you get the time download a film called ‘Earthlings’

... definitely not for the squeamish or children.

BTW Daniel Hannan MEP for SE England is a staunch supporter of bullfighting…see this link…
