Bullfighting also called "tauromachy" or "tauromaquia, aditional sport in Spain, Portugal, southern France, Mexico, Colombia, and some other Hispanic American countries. In Algemesi, Spain, young bulls are routinely tortured and beaten to death in front of a cheering crowd. In this blood sport, gangs of armed men savagely bully a single defencless calf, stabbing it until the grand finale of its death. Even the horses used to entrap the bull are terrified and often injured as a result. This horrifying demonstration of brutality on animals must be stopped. In this regard Care2 has submitted a petition to Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy requesting him to take appropriate action to stop this horrific blood sport. It is sincerely hoped that the cruel bullfighting sport will be suspended in all the countries of the world that arrange this blood sport as part of their tradition or just for entertainment.
