Demand that government stop funding animal torture

Ecologists in Action said, through a press release, its "strongest protest against bullfighting. A show that qualify as" cruel and bloody, fun looking through the torture and cruelty to bull, and that shows a complete disregard for the rights of animals. "

Pedro Luengo, regional coordinator of the environmental organization, explained that "Bullfighting is a spectacle that transmits and exalts the most negative values of a society, as the unjustified use of violence, contempt for the rights of animals or the right to torture and animal abuse. "

According to the organization is difficult to justify the public money to support this type of show, so they demand quedesde Murcia City Council to stop funding any party that contributes to the maintenance of animal torture.

Luengo explains that "the attitude of the government subsidized these celebrations, clashes with the growing rejection of the majority of society to the bullfights and other festivities based on the torture of the animal to its death."

Contrary to the claims various public offices in our region, there is growing social rejection of animal torture these events, and fewer and fewer people who enjoy watching an animal suffer until death.

Social rejection, "he says that" reality show such as halving the number of bullfights in the Region of Murcia in the last three years. "

Or the increasing loss of fans to these shows "[1]

For Ecologists in Action "a show cruel, bloody and violent" can not be considered "national party" in any civilized country considered, much less funded with public money.

We all pay taxes, Luengo said, "can not continue to feed a party based on cruelty and torture towards animals."
