Again, bullfighters try to expand their bloody business to China

[Guest guest]

The following is from Maria Lopez, of the International Movement Against

Bullfights. It is infuriating that the bullfighting industry would try to export

this cruelty to China yet again.

Dear Friends,

 

Once again the bullfighters are trying to expand their bloody business to China.

 

In 2004 they managed to hold a bullfight in Shanghai. In 2005 they tried to hold

one in Chengdu without success.

 

According to news published in a Mexican newspaper the bulls will be shipped on

the 13th of this month (Nov) to Chengdu. Others will be shipped 16th or 17th.

These bulls will be used in bullfights in Chengdu and Shanghai.

 

The article does not refer the dates in which these bullfights will take place,

(below the article in Spanish).

 

According to an article of today (below in Spanish also) one of the bullfights

will be held next 18th in Chongqing.

 

It's very important to prevent these bullfights, we must do it at all costs. We

cannot allow that these mafia expand their business of torture to other

countries.

 

Please send the sample letter (try to write a different one) to the following

authorities and embassies (please write only to the Embassy of your country or

to the nearest one).

Honorable Officials of China,

 

Through a Mexican newspaper we took knowledge that bulls are being sent to China

for bullfights that will take place in Chengdu and Shanghai.

 

The referred source states that the bulls will leave Mexico on the 13th of this

month and their destination is Chengdu.

 

I don't have any motives to distrust a news from a Mexican newspaper.

 

It's unbelievable that despite the protests concerning the bullfight performed

in Shanghai on 2004, your country persists in importing barbaric spectacles that

are unacceptable by the majority of countries that already have them.

 

I am sure that the majority of the Chinese people do not approve of these kind

of spectacles where animals are tortured in the name of entertainment.

 

I ask you to forbid these bullfights and legislate in order to protect not only

the animals in China but also to prevent the import of this or other medieval

spectacles like bullfights.

 

Yours sincerely

Los toros para China salen este mes

De Reyes Huerta y de San Martín

ESTO

 

Tlaxcala, Tlax., 2 de noviembre.- Por estas tierras saludamos a la médico

veterinaria Nadia Ortega, quién está a cargo de los toros de Reyes Huerta, los

cuales serán lidiados en China por toreros españoles, entre ellos " El Fandi " .

Nos dice la profesionista que los cinco astados saldrán el 13 de este mes o

antes; harán escala en Francfort, para luego seguir a Chendu, China, donde

será el primer festejo y el segundo en Shangahi.

 

Nadia informó que también serán enviados a China dos toros de San Martín,

junto con otros tres astados de Reyes Huerta; este segundo viaje saldrá el 16 o

17 de noviembre.

Los toros vuelven a China el día 18 con la celebración de una corrida

 

Uno de los países más grandes del mundo, por extensión y población, vuelve a

poner su atención sobre el mundo de los toros. Se trata del gigante asiático,

China, que el prómixo sábado 18 acogerá la celebración de una corrida de

toros. Organizada por una empresa privad, comandada por Martín Arranz, la

ciudad China de Chongqing (con más de treinta millones de habitantes) se

prepara ya para un acontecimiento único.

 

MADRID | La corrida de toros -propiedad de la ganadería mexicana de Reyes

Huerta- ya están en China, donde han pasado los controles reglamentarios y se

encuentran en cuarentena. Los matadores Víctor Puerto, Juan Diego, Iván

Vicente e Iván García, que serán los cuatro que hagan el paseíllo, partirán

hacia Chongqing el día 15 de este mes.

 

La idea, impulsada por Enrique Martín Arranz y coordinada por Joaquín Ramos,

partió ya el año pasado, aunque trámites burocráticos finalmente lo

impidieron. Sin embargo, este año sí que se ha dado el visto bueno al

espectáculo, y durante estos días se instalará una plaza de toros portátil,

que albergará el espectáculo.

 

Según han declarado a Burladero.es los organizadores del evento, todos los

permisos han sido concedidos, por lo que se muestran ilusionados ante la

celebración del festejo. No obstante, y como ejemplo, la población actual de

la ciudad de Chongquin supone más de un 60% de la población española (44

millones).

Did they choose China because of their disregard for animal welfare? This is

totally insane!!!
