Please protest hideously cruel Toro de la Vega: Petition, Sample Letter
Image | CAS International
Please protest annual “traditional” Toro de la Vega by signing Petition and sending Sample Letter using two web forms, thank you.
BACKGROUND | FROM CHANGE
This protest is organised by CAS International, PACMA (Spanish Party for the Animals) and HSI. Once again, CAS International, together with volunteers, travels to Spain for some days in September to protest against this cruel feast. The protest itself will, in all likelyhood, take place on Sunday 11 September. The town of Tordesillas is known to change the date of the feast in order to make the organisation of a protest more difficult.
If you are interested to protest in Tordesillas, you can contact CAS International via info@cas-international.org. For an account of the protest of 2010, see here.
You can also contact PACMA to protest if you live outside the Netherlands or Belgium.

SAMPLE LETTER
Dear Honorable Adalia, Tourism Officials:
I am shocked to learn of your annual Toro de la Vega event in which a bull is chased, stabbed, mutilated, and, after enduring prolonged agony and certain terror, is killed. This event is promoted as a cultural tradition, a celebration of your heritage and spirit, but your mitigating words and euphemistic descriptions cannot conceal the inherently barbaric nature of this event. Any celebration built on a foundation of extreme animal cruelty, exploitation, and suffering cannot be justified; condemning bulls, or any other animals, to a torturous ceremony for mere entertainment is indefensible. Commemorating your cultural history is admirable, yet subjecting an innocent creature to such a primitive ritual only demonstrates yours as an uncivilized, undereducated society.
Animals, as humans, are sentient creatures, capable of emotion, thought, and pain; when you support the exploitation of them, you only promote indifference and establish that you are unsympathetic to suffering. Furthermore, the global community will certainly recognize and scoff at your shameless attempts of justification and will refuse to financially contribute to such an archaic demonstration of savagery . Indeed, until you ceases the Toro de la Vega in favor of a celebration that embraces compassion and respect towards all living beings, I will necessarily maintain the only ethical decision is to promote a boycott of your country and your country’s commerce.
Please choose compassion and empathy and permanently ban the Toro de la Vega and any other rituals that inflict suffering and pain on our animal friends.
I know your time is limited, and I thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.
