Petition for Catalonia's Bulls

This is Catalonia's infamous blood sport: men on foot or horseback repeatedly stab a trapped, exhausted bull with knives and spears. After twenty minutes of suffering, the bull is dead.

The majority of the Catalonian people feel no connection to the archaic practice of bullfighting, and 69 towns and cities in Catalonia, including Barcelona, have declared themselves opposed to bullfighting.

Catalonian citizens have now united behind the Prou ("enough") campaign, which calls for a change to the Catalonian animal protection law that currently safeguards all animals except the bulls and horses used in bullfights.

Overwhelming public support has forced the Catalonian Parliament to schedule a vote on removing the exemption. A "yes" vote in this key region would be a groundbreaking step towards making bullfighting history across Spain.

Let's show the Catalonian Parliament that their citizens' campaign to end bullfighting has worldwide support.
