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!
