Animal welfare groups in the Galicia region of Spain are campaigning to end bullfighting in the area and declare it a cruelty free zone.
The campaign is called Galicia - Better Without Bullfighting. You can help by re-enforcing the message that tourists are not interested in bullfights and requesting that references to bullfighting 'parties' on the official tourism website are removed.
Please take a moment to send the email below to Moisés Jorge Naranjo, who is the general manager of tourism in the area's capital, A Coruna.
The campaign to end cruelty in Galicia is being spearheaded by Asociación Animalista LIBERA!, Plataforma SOS and CAS-International. For more information visit www.galiciamellorsentouradas.org (http://www.galiciamellorsentouradas.org)
