*[Enwl-eng] Protecting bullfighting? That's bull****. Sign if you agree!

[ENWL]

            A French court said this animal torture sport was too popular to 
be banned. Stand up for the animals and end bullfighting, now!

                 A court in the south of France just decided the gruesome 
"sport" of bullfighting can continue on. Despite the fact that the judges 
acknowledged bullfighting is cruel and subjects the animals to "significant 
suffering," they concluded that local traditions in Nimes were too important 
to be "disrupted." In fact, they went even further, claiming: "we should 
retain the local tradition." Not only did the local court uphold and protect 
bullfighting — it also billed a French animal welfare organization €3,000 
for bringing the case to trial at all!

                  Laws already exist banning animal cruelty, and they state 
that perpetrators can be punished by as much as €30,000 in fines and even 
two years in prison. Judges stated these anti-cruelty laws don't apply to 
the case of bullfighting because of its popularity. But according to polls, 
the tide is turning against this practice in both France and the rest of the 
world. Luckily, multiple members of the French government are trying to make 
this matter right. Let's stand with them. Sign the petition to tell the 
federal government of France to step up and ban bullfighting nationwide!

                  Thank you,

                  P.S. Local traditions are not more important than 
preventing cruelty against animals. Period. Sign the petition if you agree.
