Subject: The public demands an end to this brutal slaughter!

Please end the barbaric Fiesta Toro de la Vega in Tordesillas where bulls are killed in a brutal and agonising way.

My family has been planning an extended vacation to several countries, and I can assure you that we will NOT be coming to Spain and we won't spend a penny in your country so long as this horrible activity is allowed. This, along with bull fighting, is nothing more than torture, and we won't support a country that condones such archaeic "sport". Get with the times like the rest of the world, and pass anti-cruelty legislation to protect animals from this kind of thing. Make it illegal. There is no excuse for any of it and you should be ashamed that it still goes on. If you ever hope to increase tourism from the West, you need to know that Westerners in general think far more progressively and humanely about the treatment of animals, and activities like these simply turn us away from visiting to your country.
