Dear Annisa,

The vicious blood sport of Algemesi bullfighting tortures and beats young bulls in front of a cheering crowd. This cultural tradition is supposed to symbolize honor and grace. In reality, gangs of armed men savagely bully a single defenseless calf, stabbing it until the grand finale of its death.

In what world is this a demonstration of honor?

Bulls are beaten inside a ring where costumed men theatrically spear them while riding horses. Often, groups of men chase and drag young bulls through the streets, using daggers and spikes to hit the animal until it’s too weak from blood loss to put up a fight.

Even the horses used to entrap the bull are terrified and often injured as a result.

The bull is supposed to be put out of its misery after the beating. But the matador often misses when he tries to stab the bull through its heart, leaving the bull to die slowly and painfully.

And Algemesi is not the only city where this happens. All over Spain, festivals like these take place every year. This is an antiquated, horrifying demonstration of brutality and must not continue.

End a horrific blood sport where men beat baby bulls until they can't stand--all in the name of tourist dollars and tradition!
