City Council of Madrid: Remove the touristic promotion of bullfights from your Official Tourism Website

El problema

(Spanish version)

Bullfights are one of the worst cases of animal cruelty nowadays in the western world. An animal being tortured to death while a group of people cheers and claps is something more likely from the medieval age than the 21st century.

Most visitors that come to our city come from places where animal cruelty just for fun its unacceptable and really hard to understand. Is this the image we want such a civilized city like Madrid to have?

If anyone who visits Madrid wants to be a witness of this horrendous and barbaric "entertainment" let them find this by their own means. Let's not be accomplices of one of the national shame not suitable for a city as progressive as Madrid. We demand the City Council of Madrid to remove the touristic promotion of bullfights from their Official Tourism Website, so little by little this "tradition" stops staining our home in the blood of innocent and noble creatures.
