Animal abuse... thank God someone has some sense !

Read this !!

Hi More, I saw this earlier today too and was pleased to see they had banned this ridiculous and cruel event. But it does make you wonder why bullfighting is still allowed doesn't it?

Yes, but have you also read, the Town Hall have been fined twice for continuing the practice!!

No worries, it´s public money, who cares??

Do they still practice the 'bull run on the beach' at Denia? (Driving bulls into the sea and letting them drown?)

Seems they possibly do, foxbat, see here

I can't believe the so called traditions that incur harming animals.

I was reading an article yesterday that shocked me to the core, the dog pounds in Spain which are funded by the local councils and government gas yes GAS the dogs within 10 days if they don't get collected or adopted. The local rescue shelters that are set up around the country actually go to the pounds to try and save the puppies and when they go the next week they are all new dogs. The council/government give the pounds grants to pay for there food and things but the owners of the pounds actually make it hard for people to adopt them and boast that it only cost 35€ to gas a container of dogs and cats, then they keep the rest of the money! There are people who campaign about this but in Spain there are no rules or laws apparently. As a dog lover my first instinct was to go to our nearest pound and go and save them all but realistically I can't as I have my dog from the UK being flown over next week and we are in a rented house that only agreed to one dog. But if anyone is looking for a dog or you know someone who is thinking about it PLEASE will you try one of your local pounds or rescue centres they are bursting at the seems apparently because of the recession people are just dumping them left right and centre.

Thanks
