Every year in November, the city of Soria, Spain, holds a festival called Toro Jubilo, during which balls of flammable tar (or pitch) are attached to the horns of bulls and then set on fire. The terrified animals, either tied to stakes in public squares or released to run madly through the streets, burn in agony for hours, the blazing tar scorching their faces and bodies. Many frantic bulls reportedly crash into walls in blind terror! Their carcasses are later consumed by participants, who believe that the flesh of the tortured animals provides fertility and invincibility. Please politely urge Soria officials to ban Toro Jubilo! Remind them that this sadistic, archaic event has no place in todays society, and let them know that you and everyone you know will boycott travel to Soria until this cruelty is ended. And please, forward this alert far and wide!
