ATAAC | Australian Teens Against Animal Cruelty - Barcelona Bans Bullfighting!

Jul 28 2010 by ATAAC

Regional lawmakers voted 68-55 in favour of the ban. This was supported by 180,000 signatures from all around the world demanding the controversial sport become outlawed. It will come into effect in 2012.
Bullfighting was already on its way out in the region, with the number of bulls being challenged dropping from 6.369 in 2003 and 4,436 in 2009.

With this news, animal activists all over the world hope that other Spanish states and Spanish speaking countries, such as Mexico and Peru, follow suit.

No longer will bulls in Barcelona have to endure chilli being rubbed in their eyes, druggings, and being slowly stabbed to death whilst taunted and teased.

    We often are asked what we do with money we raise or people donate to us. We donate 100% of monies received to animals in need all over the world. We heard about this boy who was found by the ACHAIC SOCIETY FOR THE CARE OF ANIMALS, PATRAS GREECE in Greece and immediately sent over $100 for his recovery. Please head over to their page and check out the wonderful work they do for all the street dogs and cats who lead a dreadful life on the streets.
    Batty was wondering around on the old national highway. He was in very, very poor condition. He was so weak and thin and was having a hard time walking. We turned around to get to him but by the time I got back he had dissapeared. A few days later and about 8 klm away, we saw him again. we stopped and picked him up. we took him straight to the vet because he was in bad condition. Unfortunately Batty has a neuroligical problem probably from distemper from when he was a puppy. After a few days of good food and rest he started to be more playful but his problem was very obviouse. Although he's playful and runs around his movement is affected. He is in good health other than this problem. He's a strong little boy and survived distemper and obviously is a little fighter because you can just see how much he loves life and is so playful and happy despite his condition. we know this is a very difficult case and it will take someone very special to adopt him knowing that perhaps he doesn't have a normal life span. In the meantime, can you help us to provide for him good quality food and vitamins? If yes plz ask us for paypal account!Timeline Photos
