To whom it may concern:

Being informed of this cruel event being held at your Hotel Minella made me feel sick to my stomach. I can't believe that a hotel would host this sort of violent and cruel event.

There are so many horrific acts of violence happening all over the world every minute to animals and humans, which makes one think, 'what is happening to the world'... People do not take into consideration that 'all' life has value, and that 'all' life feel pain and suffering. It just makes a person lose faith in humankind and for the world to exist. People's greed and lack of compassion is what will bring this world to destruction.

Please do not support this kind of event. It is not sport when pain is inflicted on another living creature. Not at all.

Thank you for taking the time to listen.
