A second day against bullfighting: around thirty towns are rallying

A second day against bullfighting: around thirty towns are rallying

Mis à jour le 25 July 2023

For the second year in a row, we are organising coordinated and combined activist action in around thirty French towns (see below for the list and dates) to call for an end to bullfighting. This event, which will be held on 10 and 11 June, led by Alliance Éthique and One Voice as “Let’s Stop Bullfighting”, gathers together several partner associations. We will be raising public awareness there and will bring our demands to spare bulls and horses that are victims of this bloody practice.

In 2012 then in 2019, One Voice led an investigation into bullfighting schools. Full of footage of children encouraged to kill young bulls just as scared as them, we asked for a ban on these ‘training centres’ for minors, and a ban on children being admitted to these spectacles.

In recent months, voices against bullfighting have continued to make themselves heard. The French population is almost unanimously calling for it to be banned. Last November, with around one hundred partners, we supported the bill to carry out this reform. Bringing this subject before the National Assembly represents a big step forward.

And last May, the Montpellier Administrative Tribunal, referred to by CRAC Europe and the Alliance Anticorrida, suspended an attempt by the Pérols Mayor to resume bullfighting there.

We therefore remain ready to rally more than ever for this morbid ‘spectacle’ to stop benefiting from local exemptions for the torture of bulls by using horses as tools and by training young people to kill them or forcing them to attend. No tradition can justify such treatment.

Together, as we did last year and as months have gone by, in the investigation into the Grape Harvest Festival or with the priest in Arles, let’s call for an end to bullfighting!

You can find all of the events up-to-date online.
The majority of the action is happening on Saturday 10 June.
Last minute changes can happen; consult the page for each event before going there.

Comment des êtres dits "humains" peuvent-ils assister à un massacre, une lente agonie d'animaux qui sont sans défense ! HONTE ! Il faut vite arrêter cette tuerie, ainsi que l'exemple enseigné aux jeunes enfants : tuer ! Quelle triste mission... Dans quel monde vivons-nous ? One Voice y arrivera. Combien d'années encore faut-il pour stopper cette boucherie ?

Mon soutien total et profond contre la corrida, "ce soi disant spectacle" n'est que barbarie, sadisme, cruauté et torture envers un animal être vivant qui ne demande qu'à vivre libre et en paix, animal pacifique et sensible. Tous les hommes politiques et autres autorités qui "aiment et qui considèrent que cela fait partie du patrimoine et culture" de certaines régions devraient avoir honte de cautionner de telles horreurs et tortures envers des taureaux, jusqu'à proposer à des enfants de s'adonner et apprendre à massacrer et tuer des animaux innocents, c'est très grave, inquiétant et relève de l'absence de civisme, du manque de respect et considération des autres êtres vivants que sont LES ANIMAUX, et incite à la violence, à l'agressivité, et à la perversité, car une personne digne d'un humain et équilibrée dans sa tête est incapable de soutenir et et approuver applaudir de telles maltraitances extrêmes et ignobles, impensables pour un sain d'esprit, envers nos frères LES ANIMAUX. Cette tradition immonde et infâme doit être dénoncée et interdite définitivement, car les maltraitances envers tous animaux ne doivent plus rester impunies ni passées sous silence, ça suffit ! que tous ces tarés aillent se défouler dans le sport ou dans un punching ball, et non pas sur des êtres vivants animaux. Ce monde étant devenu de plus en plus fou, raison de plus de ne pas lâcher les animaux mais agir en leurs faveurs dans tous domaines et constamment.

STOP A LA CORRIDA sur tout le territoire français. Honte aux organisateurs et aux élus qui acceptent cela.
Et ces écoles qui forment des apprentis-assassins.

Il faut se battre pour arrêter cette barbarie qui rapporte beaucoup d argent et qui est une honte pour l humanité
