Bullfighting is a blood sport practiced in cities throughout Spain and several other countries. Hundreds of thousands of bulls die every year. (hsus)

Bullfighting is a cruel and bloody spectacle that kills tens of thousands of animals every year. Now bullfighting supporters in France and Spain have started the process to protect this cruelty by trying to get it listed as a form of cultural heritage. If successful, subsidies could be available to financially safeguard the future of bullfighting.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization preserves many expressions of genuine Intangible Cultural Heritage. Please let them know you would never support a move to accept bullfighting, or any other act of animal cruelty, as a practice worthy of such protection.

Please speak out for bulls today — sign on to the letter to UNESCO now.

We invite you to add your charity or supporting organizations' news stories and coming events to PVAngels so we can share them with the world. Do it now!
