July 1997



Dear Friends,



Last year I watched many bulls being led off to slaughter. They were 

frothing at the mouth, with blood pouring down their flanks from the 

harpoons (bandarilhas) embedded in their flesh. They were the doomed

participants in the 

barbarism that is Portuguese-style bullfighting.



Despite what the organisers say, there is nothing noble or cultural about 

watching these animals being tortured. Over thirty bulls were slaughtered 

in the name of public "entertainment" in Macau last year. In September 1997 

the spectacle is to be repeated.



The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (HK) and the 

International Fund for Animal Welfare have launched a joint protest to 

persuade the government of Macau to reconsider its decision to allow this 

diabolical event to go on. The text of a petition to that effect is 

reproduced below. If you would like your name added to it, please cut and 

paste the text into an email to me (slewis@cyron.com.hk) and type your name 

below it. (Please do not include the whole of this email and any headers, 

etc. in any reply to me.)



There are other ways you can help, e.g. joining us in the campaign, 

distributing posters, making a donation or just forwarding this email. I am 

happy to provide you with more information, including a copy of the 

veterinary report of Dr Oliver Young, BVMS, MRCVS, who was present at the 

1996 bullfights in Macau. If you would like to write a letter to the 

Governor of Macau (His Excellency the Governor, Leal Senado de Macau, Macau)

or the event's sponsors (TAURUS), I can provide you with a sample 

letter that you need only print out, sign and post.



If you are interested in helping in any way, please so indicate when you 

send back your completed petition email.



Thank you for taking the time.

*PETITION*

[Please return only your name, country and the text of the petition to 

slewis@cyron.com.hk, i.e. please don't include the letter above or any 

headers and messages resulting from forwarding.]



I the undersigned deplore the re-introduction of bullfighting to Macau. 

Bullfighting is neither sport nor entertainment. It is the deliberate 

infliction of mental and physical pain on animals that have no chance of 

survival. I appeal to the organisers and sponsors to reconsider and cancel 

this event.









************************************************************************  

**********************************************



PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE
WORLDWIDE (When

forwarding, please be considerate and snip any unneeded headers, 

etc.)





N.B. IF THE BULLFIGHT TAKES PLACE, IT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE END OF 

SEPTEMBER 1997. IF YOU RECEIVE THIS EMAIL AFTER THAT, PLEASE IGNORE IT.
