SPEARED 500 TIMES FOR FUN AT FIESTA Oct 3 2004

 

Join our fight to outlaw Spanish sadists

 

By Britt Collins

 

A SPEARED bull calf is chained up and carted off on a lorry, its corpse a

twisted mess after being stabbed with 500 lances.

 

Minutes earlier the majestic beast - out of its mind on drugs - had been

cornered and castrated by bloodthirsty horsemen before being brutally

speared to death.

 

Its testicles were mounted on a spear and paraded around by cheering crowds.

 

The shocking images were captured by animal rights protesters in

Tordesillas,

Spain. They

watched in horror as 40,000 people hunted the bull through streets and across

fields in a centuries-old ritual known as the Fiesta Toro de la Vega (Festival

of the Bulls).

 

We are now urging readers to help end the suffering which has appalled even the

Spanish. Tony Moore, of Fight Against Animal Cruelty in Europe,

said: " These spectacles are incredibly sadistic and unbearable to watch.

 

" You could feel the animal's fear as you heard his agonising

screams. "

 

The five-month-old bull named Rodanero was chased to

sandy ground where it struggled to run. Once pinned down it faced an agonising death.

 

Tony, who was threatened for filming the slaughter, added: " The bull is

castrated and his tail wrenched off.

 

" Then there is a competition to deal the killing thrust. The beast is

struck from all angles with lances often going in one side and coming out the

other.

 

" Once the bull is dead, its testicles are mounted on the winner's spear.

The winner also gets the head and a medal. "

 

Thousands of bulls die in the fiestas which take place across Spain. They

were banned by General Franco in the 1930s but revived after his death.

 

Spain

has no animal-protection laws and the regions are left to decide how to deal

with the cruelties.

 

Speaking after last month's fiesta in Tordesillas, TV

director Aniano Gago said:

" We are a people of barbarians. Wherever we go, we don't leave any animal

alive. We should be ashamed. "

 

To back our campaign, fill in the coupon (right) and send it to Bull Fiesta,

The People, PO Box 4012,

London E14 5BD.

We will pass them to the Spanish Ambassador.

 

We demand action

 

To the Spanish Ambassador:

 

Please end the barbaric Fiesta Toro de la Vega in Tordesillas

where bulls are killed in a brutal and agonising way.

 

As a civilised member of the European Union, it is

YOUR responsibility to show kindness and mercy to all animals. Please end this

sick and bloody ritual before one more bull dies.

The contact details for the Spanish Embassy embespr

- e mails can be sent, but a name must be given

so that the embassy can formally reply ! - if the ambassador thinks worthy.

Alternatively, the phone number is 0207 235 5555, but I have found that

it is only a recorded message, selecting option 5 gives details for the press

office, which can be contacted on 0207 235 7537. They do not relayy want too much involvement - so maybe they should be

called !
