11 June 2022 will mark the first Day Against Bullfighting

See the Facebook page on the Day Against Bullfighting.
See the Facebook page for One Voice’s national actions.

Thirty-three towns in France and worldwide, dozens of partner associations and hundreds of citizens and leading figures condemning bullfighting alongside us.

In nineteen towns, within the framework of a coordinated national action, the One Voice branches will organise audience participation events within the public awareness programme. In Nice, Henry-Jean Servat will be there and we will be implementing a static audience participation event in a circle, as though it is an arena, with videos being broadcast on a large screen. In Paris, Jeanne Mas has been invited. In Captieux, a demonstration will take place in the context of a bullfight.

And in thirteen other towns, our partners from Collectif Nature et Sauvage [Nature and Wildlife Collective], CRAC Europe [Radical Anti-Corrida Committee], 269 Life, Colbac, or even from the Collectif Animaliste Sainté [Holy Animalist Collective], and other private individuals will take over the rallying. Finally, the Aichi Prefecture will also get involved and their virtual action will also be supported just about everywhere in Japan.

Dramatisation is expected, but photo albums will be created with the public in particular, supporting the initiative, which will add to the existing album.

2022 objective: 5000 portraits. Numerous leading figures have already given their support with images for the abolition of bullfighting.

One Voice’s campaign against bullfighting:

One Voice carried out an investigation in 2019 in a bullfighting school in Nîmes. On this occasion, a petition was published in order to get these schools, where children learnt how to make sentient animals suffer and how to kill young bulls, closed down.
