spacer The Toro de Jubilo, Bull of Fire
This grotesque spectacle annually occurs in Medinaceli, a province of Soria, Spain. Jeering mobs taunt a bull with balls of burning tar or turpentine affixed to his horns. Caked in mud from legs to forehead, the animal slowly scorches.

Some bulls smash into walls to escape hours of agony. The Toro de Jubilo is frozen in time � a senseless brutalization of animals that has no place in the modern world, regardless of its heritage.

Ask officials to permanently cancel the Bull of Fire throughout Spain and enforce laws that shield animals from all forms of abuse, including vulgar rituals and blood fiestas.

Scheduled for 11/13/10 this year, the annual savagery known as Toro de Jubilo or Bull of Fire involves mobs chasing bulls they have set on fire. The Soria, Spain tourist board promotes Toro de Jubilo as a tourist attraction. Send comments before and after 11/13, urging permanent cancellation of this sadistic festival.

The gory Bull Of Fire festival still occurs in Spain. You are welcome to modify this sample letter and look up current contact information for relevant officials and decision-makers in Spain. Contacts for this letter are from 2010 and either no longer apply or require updating.


Honorable Officials of Spain,

The Toro de Jubilo, or Bull of Fire, is a grotesque spectacle that draws protests and tourism boycotts from around the world. Yet it occurs annually in Medinaceli, a province of Soria, Spain.

In light of the recent ban on bullfighting in Spain�s northeastern Catalonia region, I find it shocking that officials in Soria still let jeering mobs taunt a bull with balls of burning tar or turpentine affixed to his horns. Caked in mud from legs to forehead, the animal slowly scorches. Some smash into walls to escape hours of agony.

"Some traditions can�t remain frozen in time as society changes," Catalonian nationalist Jose Rull said when legislators voted to ban bullfighting. The Toro de Jubilo is frozen in time � an archaic and senseless brutalization of animals.

Please permanently cancel the Bull of Fire throughout Spain. I urge officials to enforce laws that shield animals from all forms of abuse, including vulgar rituals and blood fiestas.

Different cultures may not understand unique customs, but everyone recognizes animal cruelty. Heritage, entertainment, art and religion never justify outright torture.

Sincerely,

YOUR FULL NAME

  • Create a spam effect that angers recipients and hurts outcome for animals.
  • Compel recipients to block the entire petition, so no one's comments get through.
