A monthly Magazine edited and published by Maria Lopes - July 2007 Dear Friends,
Once again in September the barbarity of the bull of Vega, in Tordesillas, Spain, will take place. The prestigious French magazine "Paris Match" decided to devote 8 pages to a French bullfighter named Maria Sara where they glorify this woman. This magazine is a national one with a large readership. For the Animals Maria Lopes Coordinator FRANCE
MAGAZINE "PARIS MATCH" GLORIFIES BULLFIGHTING
Source: CRAC - Comité Radicalement AntiCorrida
The last editon of the Magazine "Paris Match" devoted 8 of its pages to the
French bullfighter Maria Sara.
Below is a sample letter in French asking the editor to allow the right to reply by the organizations against bullfights since the majority of the French people (75% to 85%) are against bullfights. Please sent protest emails to:
redaction@thotnet.fr;parismatchlecteurs@hfp.fr;oroyant@hfp.fr;
gmchauffier@hfp.fr;amcorre@hfp.fr;cschwaab@hfp.fr; lvaldiguie@hfp.fr Madame, Monsieur,
J'ai été très choqué de découvrir dans le dernier numéro de "Paris Match"
(n°3035) un long article faisant une promotion sans réserves de la torera Marie
Sara.
Vous ne pouvez ignorer que la corrida est un spectacle extrêmement violent et cruel envers les animaux. Vous ne pouvez ignorer qu'il est interdit par la loi française même s'il est localement dépénalisé dans certaines localités. Vous ne pouvez ignorer qu'il y a 75% à 85% des français qui condamnent la corrida (fourchette relative aux 5 sondages réalisés sur la question). Je suis conscient que la corrida reste un fait de société qu'il est
possible d'évoquer. Mais je suis indigné que vous l'ayez fait sans le recul
éthique requis.
Je trouve que votre magazine devrait respecter la diversité des opinions et
la pluralité de la société française en évoquant AUSSI les activités des
opposants à la corrida. Les organisations anticorrida en France ont de plus en
plus d'adhérents et sont de plus en plus actives.
Je tiens donc à vous poser la question suivante :
A quand un article dans "Paris Match" sur les activités des organisations
anticorrida ?
Je vous prie d'agréer mes meilleures salutations.

TORDESILLAS, "El Toro de la Vega", bull with
spears
Source: International Movement Against Bullfights www.iwab.org
 Every year in the second week of September a bull is killed with spears and
then his testicles are cut off in honour of the Virgin of la Pena.
This barbarity is allowed by the City Hall of Tordesillas. The bull is obliged to run in order to cross the bridge meanwhile being persecuted by a hord of men on horse and foot armed with long spears. As soon as the bull reaches the other side of the river the bloodbath begins. He is impaled with these long spears till his death. The author of his death has the right to remove his testicles and exhibit them on the point of his spear. As a reward the City Hall gives this criminal a gold badge and a spear of forged iron.

This web site exposes a corrupt union between Illinois Governor Rod
Blagojevich, the Illinois Department of Agriculture and the Rodeo Mafia,
specifically the National High School Rodeo Association and the Illinois State
Fair Rodeo. To read more http://www.sharkonline.org/?P=0000000471
Write, call, and fax the governor of Illinois to protest his state's support of animal abuse. Demand that Illinois' humane laws be strictly enforced! The Honorable Rod Blagojevich
Governor of Illinois 207 State House Springfield, IL 62706 Phone: 217-782-0244 Fax: 217-524-4049 Here is a sample letter you can work from:
Dear Governor Blagojevich,
I am writing to express my concern for the animals that will be used in the
National High School Finals Rodeo. Are you aware of the cruelty and violations
of law that occurred when the finals were in Illinois in 2000, 2001, and 2006?
It is shameful that the state is allowing, much less paying these abusive people
to return. This is a black mark the Land of Lincoln will wear for many years to
come.
I demand that you spare no effort or expense to protect rodeo animals, and
that those who violate humane laws are prosecuted to the fullest possible
extent.
Sincerely,
