I beg you again, to share and sign this petition. It must happen something, to stop this tax money subsidized animal cruelty. Thank you!
Dear signer and supporter,
Unfortunate this petition has not so much signatures how I have expected.
Normally it was planned, that I change this petition in an EU – Petition and hand it over in Brussels at the beginning of this year.
But I must say that about 27 000 signatures are a bit little for a petition in 12 different European languages.
This is the reason, why I wait a minimum of an 1/2 year longer to hand it over.
That’s a bit sad for the animals, but to have a better chance on success, we need more signatures so that the petition has more weight.
This is only a small introduction.
Bullfighters also want support due to economic problems related to the corona pandemic. They are apparently classified as "artists". As is well known, the bullfighting industry is indirectly supported by agricultural subsidies and structural funds and thus also with the money we have worked for. I already wrote that in the text of the petition. This financial support due to the corona pandemic is now to be added or has already been added. I dare to guess that taxpayers 'money is used here too, whether through agricultural subsidies or Spanish taxpayers' money. Tax money financed cruelty to animals...
In the following report, Published by Yvonne O'Halloran you will find more information about this issue.
Citation from the report of Yvonne O’Halloran:
Spain is on lockdown until at least April 12th due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in businesses having no choice but to close their doors. Bullfighting is one of these businesses affected by the lockdown, because fans are unable to gather in stadiums to watch animals suffer needlessly for their entertainment.

Stay healthy!
