Hi my name is Stevie and I am petitioning for the new Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez to finally put a ban on this horrible, barbaric act of cruilty - Bull figting. Today I saw in the news a frightened bull that jumped off vehicle which was taking the bull to a fighting arena. The bull broke his back legs from jumping off the vehicle and can be seen dragging himself down the street by its front legs. The agony this poor animal must have been in is unthinkable. This 'tradition' needs to stop now.

Despite popular belief, bulls are normally quite docile creatures, and are provoked to attack not only in the ring - by having barbed spears plunged into its flesh - but even before the fight. The bull is kept in a dark room for days before the fight, with no food or water, and it is beaten, fed laxatives, and tortured. Right before entering the arena, they are sedated, vaseline is rubbed in their eyes to cloud their vision, cotton is stuck in their throats and nose, and their ears are stuffed with newspaper. On the way through the gate, it is slammed on their head, cracking their skull. When they finally leave their dark prison and enter the light of the arena, they have some hope of freedom - only to be tortured slowly to death. At the end of the fight, their ears and genitalia are often cut off and held aloft by the matador - usually while the poor bull is still alive.

Please please sign my petition and stop this awful 'sport' thank you.
