Help us protest against the promotion of bull suffering in Bollywood film

From CAS International

Immediate, please send the protest email now by clicking HERE or on the picture, thank you.

Animal protection organization PETA India recently alerted CAS International on the following: film makers from India traveled to Pamplona to film bull running scenes in this Spanish municipality. Three Bollywood actors (Hrithik, Farhan en Abhay) took part in the bull runs for the film Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara.

The media in India reported on a planned visit to a bullfight, but the producers assured PETA that bullfights would not be filmed, since their production company “Is a very responsible company” and that they “Understand your concerns about how the depiction of cruelty of animals in the film is often misconstrued as allowed and accepted”.

We do not understand why bull running is not considered animal abuse by the producers, also because the bulls used during the bull runs are slaughtered afterward, in the local bullring.

The bull runs have already been filmed, but the film still has to be edited. PETA India and CAS International sent emails to the producer and director of the film asking them not to use the images of the bull runs, because we fear that the interest in ‘bull festivals’ in India might increase.

As you might know, many foreign tourists take part in the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. These are mainly Americans, Australians and British, but since more and more people from India have the opportunity to travel, we fear that they too will be contributing to this animal suffering. In India, bullfights are also organized, but during these ‘fights’, two bulls are staged against each other.

Because CAS International sympathizers always very actively participate in our protest campaigns and since we have accomplished several successes (such as preventing bullfighting in China), PETA India contacted us.

We are now asking you to help us by sending a protest email to the producer and director of the film.

    The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

    Please stop this torture & become a human being….. Killing is not a sign of civilized society….. These creatures are also God’s creations….. Imagine your family in place of these animals……

    Please keep these scenes out of the film! The last thing that bulls need is for their torture, in the name of “culture”, to be moved from Spain to India, because some idiots want to show off how “brave” they are. There is nothing brave about running in front of terrified animals who are fleeing from what scares the life out of them – humans!
