JOIN PETA FOR ANTI BULLFIGHT PROTEST IN SPAIN--RUNNING OF THE NUDES!

 

February 2005

Dear Activist,

We need your help! Join us in Pamplona this July to make the Running of the

Bulls – a cruel spectacle in which terrified animals are sent racing through

the streets before being slaughtered in bullrings – a tradition of the past by

helping us maintain a new tradition: the Human Race!

The fourth annual Human Race takes place in July 2005. Each year, the number of

protesters doubles, so we are expecting a huge turn-out this year! In 2004, 300

activists gathered for a unique and eye-catching event. Some went topless or

stripped down to their knickers, while others ran in shorts or fully clothed.

They held signs reading, ‘Stop the Bloody Bullfight’ and ‘Join the Human

Race’ and ran the same course the bulls are forced to run. Greeted by cheers

and whistles, the fun and light-hearted protest was a tremendous success,

bringing a great deal of attention to a very serious issue: the hideous cruelty

of bullfighting. We are hoping the Human Race will become so popular that it

will eventually replace the cruel Running of the Bulls. This year, we need an

even bigger showing of support from around the world, and this is where you come

in. Be one of the 600-plus protesters on the streets of Pamplona this July!

We have coaches travelling to Pamplona from various parts of Europe and we’d

like you to be on one of them. Coaches are picking up activists in London,

Calais and Paris, France, and Stuttgart, Germany. Here’s the itinerary:

3 July 2004:

Three coaches leave from London, England in the afternoon and make a brief stop

in Calais, France to pick up other activists from Europe.

Two coaches leave Stuttgart, Germany and stop in Paris, France to pick up

additional activists.

4 July: Coaches arrive at a beautiful campground just outside Pamplona (with a

lake nearby!), where PETA has reserved large cabins with bunk beds and outdoor

spots to pitch tents. The only things you will need are a sleeping bag and a

pillow. A vegan barbeque is planned for the afternoon, where you can meet other

activists from all over Europe.

5 July: On your marks … get set … go! The Human Race begins at 1 p.m. sharp.

After the run, a celebration will be held in honour of everyone who participated

in the Human Race and helped call attention to the suffering of the bulls.

6 July: Coaches travelling to Calais, London, Paris, and Stuttgart depart in the

late afternoon.

 

7 July: Coaches arrive in Calais and Paris mid-morning, and in London and

Stuttgart late morning.

The coaches and campground are expensive, so we are asking for a minimum of £25

(€35) from each person to help cover the costs. We have sponsorship forms

available so you can raise money from friends, co-workers and family members to

help pay for the fee. Obviously, £25 (€35) does not cover the cost of the

entire trip, so any additional money you raise above £25 (€35) would be

greatly appreciated, though the most important thing is that you come!

We have limited spaces on the coaches, so sign up now! Please contact Sean

Gifford, the event co-ordinator, if you’d like to reserve a place. When

contacting Sean, please provide your e-mail address, postal address and phone

number.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Human Race

How long is the Human Race?

Don’t worry! It’s less than one km and only takes about 10 minutes –

participants don’t even run – it’s more of a fast walk. Think of the

fantastic tan you’ll get!

What do the locals think of the race?

The last three years, the locals loved it – many of the participants were

Spanish themselves, and thousands of people laughed and cheered us along the

way. Locals from Pamplona, two elderly men in particular, thanked us for being

so brave. They said that the bullfights were disgusting and needed to stop and

that we had the right idea. In 2004 local tour guides encouraged their groups to

watch, and even participate, in our ‘Running of the Nudes’ protest! If the

trend continues in the future tourists will travel to Pamplona to run through

the streets with us and celebrate instead of participating in a bloody, cruel

spectacle!

Do I have to go naked?

Of course you don’t! While many people choose to protest topless or in their

knickers, going fully clothed is great, too – all we ask is that you wear all

white clothing.

For a look at some of the fantastic media coverage of our protest please visit

our Web site RunningOfTheNudes.com.

Thank you, and we’ll see you in Pamplona in 2005!
