PRESS RELEASE

 

 

20th January 2005

 

 

 

 

The International Movement Against

Bullfights recommends all supporters in Portugal and Europe to vote NO to the referenda to be held about the European

Constitution.

 

 

 

 

 

After reading the future E.C. we realise

that certain animals are totally disrespected and can be a target to torture

according to the laws of each Member State, whenever this is made in name of cultural tradition.

 

 

 

 

 

This is the content of the Article III -

121º

 

 

 

 

 

" In formulating and implementing the

Union's agriculture, fisheries, transport, internal market, research and

technological development and space policies, the Union and the Member States

shall, since animals are sentient beings, pay full regard to the requirements

of animal welfare, while respecting the legislative or administrative provisions

and customs of Member States relating in particular religious rites, cultural

tradition and regional heritage " .

 

 

 

 

 

Although the E.C. considers animals

sentient beings nonetheless excludes certain animals when it came to religious

rites and cultural traditions.

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore countries with bullfights like,

Portugal, Spain and France can continue to torture bulls in the name of cultural tradition.

Also ritual slaughters like Halal and Kosher are allowed in the name of

religious rites.

 

 

 

 

 

Even circus with animals or other

kind of animal torture can be allowed as long as a Member State claims that is a cultural tradition.

 

 

 

 

 

Every year thousands of bulls are

tortured in Portugal, Spain and France in the name of cultural tradition.

 

 

 

 

 

Obviously this Constitution does not

protect the animals and therefore we appeal to all animal defenders to vote NO and

speak for those who have no voice.

 

 

 

 

 

For the Animals say NO to

the European Constitution.
