BULLFIGHTS IN SPAIN
Summary of a few
adresses:
It would be impossible to present a
list of cities and addresses of towns with bullfights. It would be far easier to
present the cities that don't have, so the best solution is to send protests to
the Prime Minister of Spain - Jose Maria Aznar, and to the Ministry of the
Interior (the entity that governs bullfights in Spain).

Email: estafeta@mir.esBesides the
very well known spanish bullfights, this country has something commonly called
Popular Festivals (popular fiestas) which are in reality another way of
torturing bulls. Some of these popular fiestas are outrageous and
terrible.
Below a
list of the most horrific popular fiestas as well as the email addresses of the
local authorities.
TORDESILLAS "El toro de la Vega"
(bull of Vega)
This so called
popular fiesta consists in chasing a bull with spears all over the village
sticking them into his body until his death. Meanwhile, since the crowd think
that the torture is not enough, they cut his testicles off while he is stil
alive.

The bull walks and runs for hours in the streets while
people throw darts at him. When he is too tired and weak from loss of blood to
continue to escape, the villagers cut his testicles while he is still
alive.

"Toros de Fuego " (Fire
bulls)
This particular
savagery consists in putting a kind of ball of pitch on both the horns of the
bulls and setting fire to the balls. The bulls are released on the streets.
These balls burn for hours, burning the horns, body and eyes, causing terrible
suffering. Several times the bulls try to kill themselves against walls, due to
the horrible pain.
