Je suis déçu le program de jeudi n'a pas du tout été comme celui I indicated rien le soir fausse information
BOYCOTT, WRITE TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF BENIARBEIG, TO PREVENT THREE DAYS OF ATROCITIES, TORTURE, ROCKED BULLS, in the upcoming holidays...
And this… EVEN THOUGH LAST YEAR, A PERSON WAS KILLED.
It is not enough for those organizers of animal misery for some supposed traditions that animals are tortured, that people die to stop these traditions from another time!
When cruelty is maintained as a tradition, what to expect from this society?
Or…in the name of “tradition” I propose to return to human sacrifice…while we are…
These barbaric acts are a shame for Spain.
Let's react!
locelybeeeee
No animal is mistreated, and the death of the ugly 45-year-old French lady who came to see the cows will be a disgrace just like the traffic accidents, which unfortunately produce 3000 deaths for anyone who suspends the traffic in the efforts of Benisrbeig.
If you don't like bullfights, don't go. The animal is never mistreated. And the fact that you're already calling them "organizers of misery" shows your lack of culture and education. Maria, the French woman who died in 2022, was a tragedy, and she had been going to bullfights for 45 years. What can we expect from this society? That people like you go back to your country and stop bothering us. If you were to call it "tradition," you wouldn't be in this country. And your comment about human sacrifice only reveals who you are. You are a disgrace to Spain.
From outside they will come….
If every street and every sea
