Portugal - Protest Against the Returning of Bullfights to Lisbon
After being closed for 6 years the bullring of Lisbon reopened after
renovation work on the 18th May. A small shopping mall was built under
the bullring with shops, bars and restaurants. This cost 60 million euros.
If you visit Lisbon boycott this shopping mall, because some of the money
spent in these shops will be used to subsidise the bullring itself.
Please sent protest letters to the Mayor of Lisbon and to the Department of Tourism. (Try to write a different letter, please)
Dear Mr. Mayor,
I was informed that Lisbon has again its "cathedral" of torture
reopened.
It's shameful that after 6 years of being a capital free of cruelty it's
now again a capital of torture.
While you persist in torturing animals in the name of "tradition
and culture" I will not visit your city and I will advise my family
and friends to do the same.
Sincerely,
Name/Country
