BACKGROUND

Please join the Facebook event HERE for additional details.

In  New Caledonia (French: officially: Nouvelle-Calédonie ), there are two annual festivals held, both torturing and killing animals.  One in PAITA “la Fête du Boeuf “, and two, in BOURAIL ” la Foire Agricole. These events engage in severe animal abuses in which bulls are chased and mutilated (such as live castration in Paita ),  rodeos, and massacres.  The purpose of this alert is to protest against this traditional  savagery and to ask the rodeos and mutilation be cancelled definitely, as well as to alert the Tourism Office about these events that are damaging to the tourism industry.

Sample Message to Send

Madame, Monsieur,

Concernant les festivals de PAITA et BOURAIL en Nouvelle Calédonie:

“Rodéo, « jeux » équestres, abattage public des animaux, dépeçage « à l’ancienne », mutilations « à l’ancienne » également (donc sans étourdissement préalable), et suprême horreur, dégustation et concours du plus gros mangeur de testicules de veaux… Et tout cela sous les yeux des nombreux enfants présents et sous le regard « bienveillant » de leurs parents… sont des actes extrèmement choquants et inacceptables!

Vous n’êtes pas sans savoir que toutes ces pratiques sus-énoncées sont source de stress, de blessures graves, de grande douleur infligée et synonymes de cruauté et de barbarie envers les êtres sensibles que sont les chevaux et les bovins (à l’instar de tous les autres animaux), et que dans le monde entier des personnes telles que moi se soucient, se mobilisent, s’organisent afin que de tels actes de férocité institutionnalisés disparaissent afin de faire apparaître le Droit de Vivre sans souffrance pour les animaux. Le simple Droit, qui est un devoir pour tout être qui se dit humain.”.

Nous comprenons que vos traditions sont importantes mais elles peuvent être effectuées sans ces cruautés indignes d’un pays civilisé.

Je suis certaine que vous comprendrez l’image négative qu’elle véhicule au sein de la communauté internationale, à ce jour très choquée.

Salutations distinguées,

Mayor of Paita,

It is with horror, dismay and sadness that I learn that each year organizes and runs the feast of beef in your city, the feast which is not crop your country, but that is created for the sole purpose to satisfy an audience of tourists (or persons / families “established” that boast very often on the internet or in real life, yet belong to a “race” of colonial lords) in need of thrills and violent.

Rodeo, “Games” rides, public slaughter of animals, butchering “old” female “old” as well (ie without prior stunning), and supreme horror, tasting and eating contests the largest testicles of calves … And all this under the eyes of many children present and under the eyes “kind” of their parents …

Mr. Mayor, you are aware that all these practices outlined above are a source of stress, injuries, inflicted great pain and synonyms of cruelty and barbarity against sentient beings that are the horses and cattle ( like all other animals), and in the world people like me are concerned, mobilize, organize themselves so that such acts of ferocity institutionalized disappear to reveal the right to live without pain Animals. The simple law, which is a duty for every human being who said.

Mr. Mayor, I do not doubt for a moment of humanity that lives in you and that is why I would write to you today to request your high benevolence to make a choice … That to protect life , the sensitivity to honor the living creatures, the show, to celebrate the beauties and subtleties, smashed your culture rather than glorify the death, torture, traditions that persist in our unworthy century and a other ground than yours.

I place great hope in this application, an infinite hope for your attention … and a response from you.

And I beg you to believe, Mr. Mayor, the assurances of my high consideration.

Sample letter to use:

To Whom It Concerns,

It has come to my attention that you are a major sponsor of the PAITA and BOURAIL Rodeos in NEW CALEDONIA /Nouvelle Caledonie.

It is important that you understand that rodeos are fundamentally inhumane and considered one of the most injurious events involving animals. It is a documented fact that rodeos subject animals to untold suffering, including severe injuries and death. Your sponsorship of such animal cruelty is disturbing, and as a customer, I am appalled to learn of your deliberate involvement in the exploitation of animals. As such, I respectfully request that you sever your relationship with the Rodeos in NEW CALEDONIA /Nouvelle Caledonie.

Until such a time when Coca-Cola no longer participates in such animal cruelty, I will be unable to be a loyal customer.
