I would like to appeal to holidaymakers on the Continent not to go to any bullfights.
It’s just as cruel as cockfighting, bear baiting, badger digging and dog fights, all of which are illegal in this country.
Would you let your dog or cat be drugged, pierced with many lances, until weak with loss of blood, the ‘brave’ matador dispatches it and cuts off its testicles and ears and gives it to someone in the crowd.
Around 70 per cent of Spaniards have no interest in bullfighting. It is only the tourists who keep it alive. Please help stamp out this cruel, callous ‘sport’.
