STOP Toro de la Vega 2016

The Issue

Each year, the second Tuesday of September, the town of Tordesillas (in Valladolid, Spain) is host to a horrific fiesta known as “El Toro de la Vega.”

The festival begins with the release of a bull into the countryside surrounding the town, whereupon dozens of people then pursue the bull on foot and on horseback, stabbing him with daggers and spears until he collapses exhausted on the ground.

The bull’s tail and testicles are then cut off and held aloft as trophies, and the bull is paraded through the town amidst the cheers of bystanders.

By signing this petition, a message will instantly be sent to the following addresses:

Señores, Señoras, Me acaba de llegar una información con respecto a la manifestación que tendrá lugar in septiembre y durante la cual un pobre toro será una vez mas víctima de una práctica horrible y bárbara en Tordesillas. Es realmente imposible comprender, para una persona que forma parte de un mundo civilizado en Europa, que tal acto correspondiente a una mentalidad medieval pueda aun suceder...
