Target: Janusz Wojciechowski, Commissioner of Agriculture for European Commission
Goal: Endorse ban on subsidization of bull-breeding for bullfighting purposes.
The European Union (EU) is funding one of the most controversial affronts to animal welfare. An estimated 1,000 farms across the continent breed bulls for the purpose of bullfighting. Despite passing a law about seven years ago barring such funding, the EU is giving millions in subsides to these farms that breed animal cruelty.
The EU has a common agricultural policy (CAP) that does provide subsidies to the agricultural sector. In 2015, though, the group enacted an initiative that would ban subsidies “for the financing of lethal bullfighting activities.” Soon, though, pressures from special interests would compel these politicians to scrap the ban. A subsequent attempt to renew it a few years later also fell short.
In the interim, countless bulls have endured horrific goring injuries, and many have died. Sign the petition below to demand the EU stop its gutless reversal and finally enforce this life-saving ban.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Commissioner Wojciechowski,
Every year, a quarter of a million bulls endure agonizing deaths through the supposed sport of bullfighting. As these animals bleed, the aging industry responsible for their torment continues to bleed money. Why is the European Union still financially propping up an inhumane relic far past its expiration date?
In 2015, this entity agreed to ban the subsidization of bull-breeding under CAP. Then, the EU mystifyingly reversed this decision. And in 2020, it resisted renewed calls for a ban. The EU cannot make lofty proclamations about animal welfare when it is still funding one of the world’s most barbaric forms of animal cruelty.
Please finally do what should have been done years ago. Stop subsidizing bullfighting and stop enabling animal cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK AND BARBARIC! They are uncivilized. They should be punished!!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! THIS IS TRULY WICKED, EVIL AND SO VERY CRUEL. STOP THIS NOW, ALL OF IT, YOU KNOW ITS SO WRONG. WHAT ARE YOU DOING BY CAUSING SUCH HORRIFIC INJURY AND PAIN AND YOU SIT THERE LIKE HALF-WIT IDIOTS CLAPPING AND CHEERING. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU. YOU ARE A DISGUSTING, DISGRACE AND YOU KNOW IT.
Sadly and infuriatingly ironic that some humans are the most inhumane creatures of all the animals on our planet. This is some serious bulls–t!
Nicole, you are right on speaking to the “half wit idiots” who
think killing an animal in such a manner is fun, is entertaining.
The audience should put their kids in the ring and let the bull
have his turn inflicting blood, guts and horrific pain as he kills the children. Their idiot parents would probably think
that was great fun. Are my comments too harsh, I think not, I know how the Spaniards dispose of their racing dogs.
What the hell is wrong with these people? Paying to see poor innocent bulls tormented, tortured and murdered…for their sick entertainment? Stop the breeding now. Uncivilized, Inhumane, monstrous violence that only monsters enjoy. Humanity at its most vile.
