No bailout for bullfighting!
23-04-2020Every year, almost 10,000 bulls die after being tortured in the bullrings, and thousands more, along with cows and heifers, are harassed and mistreated in towns throughout Spain. But now, in full alarm, all the festivities scheduled for March, April and May have been canceled. Pamplona, Valencia, Castellón, Madrid, Seville, Murcia … More than 200 bullfights affected and 1,684 cruel fiestas suspended. From the bullfighting sector, aware that the coronavirus is going to be a severe blow, has begun to react to ask the government for the economic rescue of bullfighting. We won’t allow it!

Crisis
The bullfighting industry is devastated: suspended fairs, thousands of tickets to return, San Isidro and Sanfermines canceled, livestock farms on the brink of bankruptcy … Bullfighting is facing the most critical moment of its existence.
Bailout
The bullfighting sector is sending letters and in constant contact with different Ministries to request millions of euros as compensation to bullfighters, livestock farms or that the Government be the one in charge of returning the money of the tickets already acquired.
Opportunity
In the face of the COVID19 crisis, we have a unique opportunity to leave behind its privileges of the past, to build a world without bullfighting. Without the millions the bullfighting sector receives in subsidies, cruel fiestas will disappear.
